THE OPPORTUNITY
The business is bringing an established payroll operation in-house, comprising approximately 300 clients and £330k of annual fee income, and is looking for an experienced Senior Payroll Manager to take the lead.
You will oversee a team of payroll professionals, support the transition into the business and become a key part of the future development and growth of the payroll service.

- Supporting the smooth transition of the payroll operation into the business

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- We're looking for an experienced payroll professional with a proven track record of managing payroll operations and leading a team
- You will ideally hold relevant payroll qualifications and have strong technical knowledge of UK payroll legislation and compliance
- We're particularly interested in someone who is commercially minded and enjoys the opportunity to do more than simply manage the day-to-day payroll function
If you enjoy leading people, building relationships, improving processes and growing a service, this role offers plenty of scope to make your mark.
WHAT'S ON OFFER?
- £60,000-£70,000, depending on experience
- Up to 10% annual bonus linked to KPIs and performance
- Predominantly home-based / hybrid working
