Your new company

You will be responsible for managing and coordinating payroll operations across multiple countries within the EMEA and APAC regions. Working closely with internal stakeholders and external payroll providers, you will ensure payrolls are processed accurately and on time, maintain compliance with local legislation, and support payroll-related queries across the business. This is an excellent opportunity for an immediately available payroll professional to join a growing technology organisation, with the potential for the role to move from temporary to permanent.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven payroll experience across EMEA and APAC regions
  • Strong understanding of international payroll compliance and legislation
  • Experience managing multi-country payrolls within a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of payroll processes
  • Strong payroll systems experience
  • Available immediately or at short notice

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
