An Exciting Opportunity for a Payroll Systems Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Payroll Systems Assistant to join a growing organisation with a busy, in-house payroll function. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of payroll, systems and data, and is keen to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

The Payroll Systems Assistant will support the effective operation and ongoing development of payroll and workforce management systems.

  • Monitor system integrations, performance, and data quality, identifying and resolving issues where necessary.
  • Produce and analyse payroll and workforce reports, providing insights to internal stakeholders.
  • Manage data imports, reconciliations, and audits to ensure accuracy and compliance.
  • Provide first-line systems support, guidance, and training to payroll users.
  • Support payroll-related projects and process improvement initiatives.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, data protection requirements, and internal controls.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, enhance system usage, and increase efficiency.

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.
