Payroll Officer - 4-Week Contract
Botany | Immediate Start | $40-45/hr + Super (Depending on Experience)

THE OPPORTUNITY
Join a growing, fast-paced business with operations across Australia and New Zealand as they continue to evolve and transform their payroll function. This short-term contract offers the chance to jump in, hit the ground running, and support a friendly and collaborative payroll team through a busy period.

Reporting to the Head of Payroll, you'll work alongside a close-knit team of junior payroll officers and assist with the accurate and timely processing of end-to-end payroll. You'll also support the team with key payroll queries, compliance, and reporting tasks during a period of high activity.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Assist with fortnightly end-to-end payroll processing across ANZ

  • Review and validate data to ensure accuracy and compliance

  • Respond to employee queries in a timely and professional manner

  • Support the team with award interpretation, leave, superannuation, and other payroll inputs

  • Help maintain employee records and ensure smooth payroll operations

ABOUT YOU
You're a payroll professional who's confident, reliable, and ready to step into a fast-paced environment. You enjoy working in collaborative teams and can be trusted to handle payroll tasks with accuracy and efficiency-even on short notice.

To be successful, you'll have:

  • Strong experience in end-to-end payroll processing (preferably in mid-to-large businesses)

  • Familiarity with payroll systems-experience with Payroll Metrics or UKG (Kronos) a plus

  • A proactive, flexible approach and strong attention to detail

  • Availability to start immediately and commit to a 4-week contract

WHAT'S ON OFFER

  • 4-week full-time contract, with potential for extension depending on workload

  • Work from modern offices in Botany with a flexible hybrid model

  • Supportive payroll team and a respected Head of Payroll

  • Great exposure to a complex, multi-entity ANZ payroll environment
