Senior Payroll Manager - 6 Month Contract - Teddington (Onsite) - Up to £450 per day
The opportunity
IN2 Consult is seeking a senior interim Payroll Process Improvement Specialist to stabilise and optimise its payroll operation following a recent migration from Access Payroll to ADP HCM i.
The payroll team operates in a high-volume environment with complex, commission-based pay structures. While the transition is progressing, there remains a need to reduce manual work, strengthen controls, resolve process issues and ensure the business is getting the maximum value from ADP.
This is a hands-on role for a self-sufficient payroll systems and process-improvement specialist who can quickly assess current ways of working and implement practical, scalable improvements.
