About the Company
We’re partnering with a national organisation that has experienced rapid growth over the last few years. With a 350+ person workforce and strong expansion ahead, they’re now bringing payroll completely in-house and investing in the right systems to support that.
The business is flexible, outcomes-driven and highly collaborative, valuing people who take ownership and enjoy improving how things work.
The Opportunity
This newly-created role exists because the business is transforming its payroll operations and implementing Rippling as its core people and payroll platform. They’re in the final stages of testing, and now need a payroll professional who can own both the processing and the architecture of the system.
You’ll be hands-on with payroll while also building the right workflows, integrations and controls to ensure accuracy, compliance and long-term scalability.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If…
