Payroll

My Client is a globally respected organisation rooted in Aotearoa, known for their quietly impactful work that shapes how people experience and engage with a national passion.  They have an awesome culture and a respected status across the country. This business requires an outgoing Payroll professional to work in a sole charge role, who is able to work efficiently and autonomously. The nature of the organisation can be seasonal, so you're a creative thinker who finds things to do and improve systems in the off-season. 
 
This is a team of people who are in it for the love of what they do and are proud to work here. The office is modern, spacious, lots of constructive engagement and banter going in all directions but they get their heads down and work hard toward a common goal.
 
The Role
 
This is a sole charge Payroll position working alongside an HR person and the finance team - you'll report to the Head of Finance. The people on this payroll are a mix of salaried and contract workers - again this is seasonal due to the type of business so half of the year is different to the other.
Key duties include:

• End to end payroll processing of the weekly, fortnightly and monthly payroll - salaried and contract staff with varied cycles
• Providing the finance/HR team a full understanding of NZ payroll legislation
• Dealing with payroll queries from inside and outside of the organisation - some of public figure status so chasing timesheets can't be aggressive 
• Induction for new starters
• Continuously look at ways of improving the existing service and processes
• Involvement in ad hoc projects to support wider operations
• Incredible Excel manipulation skills will get you far here

 
So Who Are You, And What Is Your Profile?
 
You will have previous experience in payroll in New Zealand. Experience using DataPay is advantageous but not essential if you can show you've picked up new systems quickly before. You will understand the intricacies of processing timesheets, allowances and be savvy around New Zealand payroll legislation.
 
You will be a quick learner and a team player but you will also be able to work autonomously with little supervision. Confidence and proactiveness with a great attitude and work ethic are the standout traits this company is looking for.
