Adairs & The Opportunity
Adairs is on a journey to become Australia's Ultimate Home Style Destination, and this is an exciting time to join us as we move into our next phase of growth.
You'll be part of a supportive payroll team, reporting to the Payroll Manager, where each team member owns their specific business units while still collaborating closely to deliver a seamless payroll function. We're looking for a Payroll Officer who thrives in a high-volume environment and wants to take true end-to-end ownership of a busy, fast-moving pay cycle.
How you will spend your day
* Take complete ownership of the fortnightly Australian retail payroll
* Validate, reconcile and process high-volume data from multiple sources
* Ensure compliance with legislation, awards and internal controls
* Be the primary contact for payroll queries across the retail network
* Investigate discrepancies, analyse data, and resolve issues quickly
* Work with UKG (T&A) and HR3 (processing) to ensure clean, accurate inputs
* Maintain strong checks and balances across the entire payroll workflow
* Support process improvements and question the status quo to drive efficiency
About You
* Experienced in end-to-end, high-volume payroll processing
* Comfortable owning a pay run from start to finish
* Exceptional attention to detail – accuracy matters to you
* Confident interpreting awards and applying them correctly
* Data‑savvy with strong Excel skills (including XLOOKUPs, pivot tables, formulas)
* Curious and proactive – you ask why and look for better ways of working
* Outstanding customer service skills and a calm, helpful approach
* Experience with UKG is highly regarded; HR3 experience is a bonus, not essential
Retail or FMCG experience will serve you well. There is an occasional requirement to work public holidays to meet payroll delivery timelines.
