Payroll Manager
West London
Up to £60,000 + 10% bonus + excellent benefits
If you're an experienced Payroll Manager looking for a role where you can truly own the payroll function rather than simply process it, this could be exactly what you've been searching for.
Imagine joining a well-established consumer brand where payroll is recognised as a critical business function. You will become the trusted expert for payroll across two UK entities, working closely with HR and Finance to ensure every employee is paid accurately, on time and in line with UK legislation.
This is a hands-on position with real autonomy. You will oversee the complete monthly payroll cycle, manage everything from salaries and bonuses to pensions and benefits, and be the go-to person for resolving payroll queries.
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.
But this role is about more than processing payroll. It's an opportunity to improve and streamline processes, make the most of Workday's capabilities, and contribute to continuous improvements that positively impact both the business and its employees.
What you'll be doing
- Taking ownership of the end-to-end monthly payroll process for two UK entities.
- Processing salaries, bonuses, commissions, pensions, benefits and statutory deductions accurately and on time.
- Ensuring payroll remains fully compliant with UK legislation, HMRC requirements and internal policies.
- Preparing payroll reports along with P45s, P60s and P11Ds.
- Reconciling payroll data, investigating discrepancies and resolving employee queries.
- Liaising with HMRC, pension providers and auditors to maintain compliance and accuracy.
- Administering pension and private medical benefit schemes.
- Identifying opportunities to improve payroll processes and maximise the effectiveness of Workday.
