  • All payroll reporting & analysis requirements
  • Look for process improvement opportunities across the Payroll function
Key requirements for this role include:
  • Previous Payroll Management experience in a large, complex payroll environment (minimum 5,000 employees)
  • Evidence of mentoring a team to achieve higher output
  • A positive, can-do attitude and a smile every day
  • Steady, long-term tenure in previous roles
  • A high level of customer service & relationship-building skills
  • Exceptional communication skills with all levels of colleagues
  • Dayforce system experience is highly desirable (but not essential)
  • New Zealand payroll experience is a must
Depending on your exact skills and suitable experience, a base salary between $160 - $190k + Super is on offer. The company works from their amazing CBD offices 4 days per week, with 1 day WFH.
