THE ROLE & TEAM

We are looking for an experienced and proactive Payroll Manager to take ownership of our end-to-end payroll function. This is a standalone role, offering the opportunity to manage payroll processes independently while working closely with colleagues across Finance, HR and the wider business.

As Payroll Manager, you will be responsible for the accurate and timely processing of payroll across the business. Working as part of our Finance team, you will act as the subject matter expert for all payroll-related matters and ensure payroll operations run smoothly and compliantly.

Whether you're looking for a full-time position or a part-time opportunity, we'd welcome applications from experienced payroll professionals who can confidently manage a standalone payroll function and provide a high-quality service to the business.

Agencies: We are not accepting CVs for this role as we are aiming to fill it directly. We value your support and will reach out if required. Please do not send speculative CVs. Any unsolicited CVs sent to hiring managers or the business, without prior instruction from a member of the Talent Acquisition team, will be treated as a gift.
