ABOUT THE COMPANY:

The company is a rapidly expanding early childhood education provider operating 15 kindergarten centers. Known for providing high-quality care and education, the group is experiencing significant growth. To support this ongoing expansion, the company is building out a high-performing offshore operational team. Beginning with core payroll functions and expanding into broader accounting and bookkeeping support, the team plays a critical role in scaling operations smoothly and efficiently across all locations.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a Senior Payroll Specialist to manage end-to-end Australian payroll operations for approximately 500 shift-based employees across multiple center locations. Operating in a multi-entity environment with complex award structures, this role requires a seasoned payroll professional capable of mastering intricate Employment Hero configurations.

This is a dynamic, high-volume position suited for an agile, detail-oriented specialist who thrives under tight deadlines, takes full ownership of payroll accuracy, and is eager to support a rapidly growing business alongside an expanding payroll team.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Manage end-to-end weekly payroll processes for 10+ entities and over 500 shift-based employees.
  • Accurately interpret and execute payroll across multiple Australian Modern Awards, ensuring full compliance with complex shift variations and pay conditions.
  • Review timesheets and oversee configuration setups within Employment Hero across multi-site centers.
  • Successfully execute End of Financial Year (EOFY) finalizations and reconciliation reporting.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employee payroll inquiries, delivering prompt, clear, and professional resolutions.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders and accountants to streamline payroll procedures, adapt to complex operational environments, and scale systems for business growth.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of dedicated, end-to-end Australian payroll experience handling high-volume, multi-entity operations (10+ entities on a weekly cycle).
  • System Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Employment Hero, including complex multi-site configurations and timesheet review workflows.
  • Compliance Knowledge: Demonstrated expertise in executing Australian EOFY year-end finalizations and reporting.
  • Workforce Structure: Proven experience processing payroll for shift-based workforces subject to varied rosters and complex Modern Award conditions.

PREFERRED:

  • Prior experience supporting Australian payroll within the early childhood, education, or multi-site retail/hospitality sectors.
  • Background working in scaling offshore or client-servicing delivery environments.
  • Exposure to broader accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations workflows.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Accountability & Ownership: High reliability, decisiveness, and absolute transparency in managing payroll integrity.
  • Problem-Solving Ability: A high tolerance for complexity and the agility to navigate an intricate payroll setup with a steep learning curve.
  • Communication Skills: Clear, empathetic, and effective communication skills to resolve payroll queries and collaborate seamlessly across remote teams.
  • Resilience Under Pressure: Exceptional time-management and attention to detail, consistently delivering accurate results within strict deadlines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
