Join a highly respected global organisation as a Senior Payroll Officer, where you’ll act as a Payroll SME across the APAC region. If you enjoy solving complex payroll challenges, driving process improvement, and being the “go-to” expert for redundancy and termination matters — this role offers both impact and visibility.

About the Company
This organisation is an established global leader with a strong presence across APAC. Their culture is built on collaboration, integrity, and innovation, with a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing and continuous improvement.

• Reconcile leave balances between Workday and the payroll system
• Identify process gaps and recommend improvements to streamline payroll operations
• Validate payroll compliance across federal and state regulatory requirements
• Support month-end payroll reconciliations and reporting
• Collaborate with internal teams on payroll workflows, systems optimisation and upcoming legislative changes
• Maintain accurate payroll records, calendars and process documentation

About You You’re a confident Payroll SME who enjoys taking ownership of complex work. You bring strong analytical capability, a solutions mindset and the ability to work with integrity and precision.

What You’ll Bring
• 3–5 years’ experience delivering end-to-end payroll for large employee groups (1500+)
• Strong redundancy, termination and compliance knowledge
• Experience with Enterprise Agreements and payroll governance
• Exposure to Workday and/or Kronos highly regarded
• Excellent stakeholder communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to identify process enhancements and drive continuous improvement

•  CBD location with hybrid flexibility
•  Opportunity to lead critical payroll initiatives
