🚀 The Opportunity

This role is ideal for an experienced payroll professional who enjoys complexity, autonomy, and being a trusted advisor rather than just a processor.

  * Manage end-to-end payrolls across weekly, monthly, and annual cycles for complex client portfolios.

  * Process payrolls involving payrolled benefits, share schemes, Teachers’ Pensions, and expatriate arrangements.

  * Handle multi-site, multi-entity payrolls with varying pay structures and rules.

  * Manage RTI submissions, HMRC correspondence, statutory filings, and year-end processes.

  * Oversee pension administration and auto-enrolment compliance.

  * Operate IRIS Payroll Professional at an advanced level, including onboarding and system support.

  * Advise clients on holiday pay, statutory payments, and Working Time Regulations.

  * Mentor and support junior payroll team members.

  * Act as a senior point of contact for resolving complex payroll issues.

🎯 About You

  * Minimum 3 years’ payroll experience in a bureau or client-facing environment.

  * Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation, pensions, and statutory compliance.

  * Experience handling complex, multi-entity or international payrolls.

  * Advanced experience with IRIS Payroll Professional.

  * Confident managing client relationships and technical payroll queries independently.

  * Strong Excel and analytical skills.

  * Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex payroll issues.

  * CIPP qualification is advantageous but not essential.
