About the Organisation
The employer is a well-established, large-scale business with operations across Australia and a strong track record for running efficiently. The payroll team based in Wacol is looking to add a Payroll Officer to support its growing workload.
Role Summary
In this position, you will manage payroll processing end to end, making sure employees are paid correctly and on schedule across several payroll cycles. The role also covers adjustments, departures, back payments, and other out-of-cycle payments, along with maintaining clean payroll records and supporting compliance and audit activities.
Key Duties
- Run full payroll processing activities from start to finish so pay runs are accurate and completed on time.
- Handle employee exits, payroll corrections, back pay calculations, and any off-cycle payments.
- Keep payroll records accurate and current, and complete regular reconciliations to protect data quality.
- Respond to payroll questions from employees and internal stakeholders with timely, professional support.
- Make sure payroll practices align with tax, superannuation, award, and other legal obligations.
- Assist with internal and external audit requirements connected to payroll governance.
- Support payroll system upgrades, testing, enhancements, and rollout activities.
- Look for ways to improve payroll controls, processes, and overall service delivery.
Candidate Profile
The ideal applicant will bring prior payroll processing experience in a medium or large organisation, along with a solid grasp of payroll law, taxation, superannuation, and compliance. Accuracy, resilience under pressure, and strong relationship-building skills are important, as is the ability to manage confidential information carefully. Familiarity with payroll systems and involvement in system improvement projects will be an advantage.

- Competitive annual salary up to $95,000 plus superannuation.
- Hybrid working arrangement after training, with 2 days a week worked from home.
- Flexible hours to support work-life balance.
