Whether you are looking for a Permanent career move or a Temporary assignment, and whether you prefer 3, 4, or 5 days per week, this role is designed to fit your lifestyle while providing a clear path for professional growth!

Responsibilities

* Managing a headcount of 300+ employees across both Monthly and Weekly pay cycles, you will take full ownership of the payroll function. Key responsibilities include:
* Managing and administering all payroll aspects related to complex employee transitions and lifecycle changes for a diverse workforce.
* Performing end-to-end payroll processing with high attention to detail, ensuring all staff are paid accurately and on time.
* Interpreting and applying multiple Modern Awards and EBAs to ensure strict industrial compliance.
* Executing higher-level duties, including the generation of detailed payroll reports and data analysis for senior management.
* Applying expert knowledge to accurately calculate complex final entitlements and settlement figures, ensuring strict associated regulatory and tax compliance.
* Collaborating with the broader finance team, with the scope to take on additional responsibilities beyond payroll for those interested in expanding their skillset.

About You

* Mid-level experience with a proven track record in end-to-end payroll processing.
* Demonstrated experience managing Awards and Enterprise Agreements (EBAs) within the Australian legislative framework.
* A "system-savvy" mindset; experience with Tier-1 or Tier-2 HRIS/Payroll systems is highly regarded.
* The ability to work on-site in Nunawading and manage the demands of a standalone desk.
* A proactive approach to compliance and data integrity, particularly regarding STP Phase 2 requirements.

Benefits

* This role is open to candidates seeking 3, 4, or 5 days per week, on-site.
* Available as either a Permanent role for long-term stability or a Temporary contract for those seeking immediate work.
* Opportunity to step into "higher duties" and expand your remit into broader finance or HR functions.
* Based in Nunawading with easy access to local amenities.
* Join an organisation that recognises payroll as a critical risk-mitigation function and invests in its people.
