Payroll Executive | Cardiff | £30,000–£32,000
I'm recruiting for a Payroll Executive to join a Cardiff-based bureau team.
This is a bureau environment - you'll be managing end-to-end payroll processing across a portfolio of clients, so if you're used to variety, multiple deadlines, and switching between client accounts, this will suit you well.
What the role involves:
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- You'll take ownership of the full payroll cycle for your client portfolio - data input, audit and validation checks, statutory payments (SSP, SMP), auto-enrolment compliance, year-end reporting, and peer-checking colleague payrolls.
- You'll also be the first point of contact for client pay queries, so clear communication matters as much as technical accuracy.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What they're looking for:
- At least one year of payroll experience, ideally from a bureau or outsourced payroll environment.
- You'll need solid end-to-end processing knowledge including pensions and statutory payments, the ability to manually calculate a payroll, and the organisational ability to manage multiple client deadlines without dropping the ball.
