Join Tarmac and Help Shape the Future of Payroll

Are you an organised payroll professional with a keen eye for detail and a passion for delivering excellence? Do you enjoy working on projects that drive meaningful change?

We're looking for a Payroll Administrator to join our team on a 6-month fixed-term contract, supporting a key business initiative: the implementation of Payroll Benefits in Kind (PBIK) within Tarmac's SAP ECC Payroll environment.

  • Supporting requirements gathering workshops and stakeholder meetings
  • Documenting business requirements, project actions, decisions and process changes

  • Assisting with System Integration Testing (SIT), Parallel Runs and User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
  • Logging, tracking and supporting the resolution of testing defects
  • Validating payroll calculations and outputs
  • Producing project reports and governance documentation
  • Supporting training, communications and business readiness activities
  • Helping ensure a successful transition into Business-as-Usual (BAU) operations

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.
