Senior Payroll Officer

Location: London
Work Arrangement: Hybrid Working - 3 months contract

I'm recruiting for an experienced Senior Payroll Officer to join a large and well-established public sector organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a payroll professional looking to take ownership of the full payroll lifecycle within a complex organisation, whilst playing a key role in payroll systems, compliance and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

  • Managing the end-to-end payroll production cycle
  • Ensuring payroll accuracy and statutory compliance
  • Payroll reconciliations and General Ledger balancing
  • HMRC year-end processes and statutory reporting
  • Supporting pension administration (including public sector pension schemes)
  • Leading Oracle Payroll testing, upgrades and system improvements
  • Mentoring Payroll team members
  • Driving payroll process improvements and resolving complex payroll queries.

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.
