Payroll Lead - ASX Mining

This is far more than a traditional payroll position. The role will play a critical part in delivering a significant payroll transformation project as the organisation transitions from a partially outsourced payroll model to a fully in-house payroll function.

Working closely with key stakeholders across finance, HR, and leadership teams, you will take ownership of driving process improvements, implementing best-practice payroll procedures, and supporting the transition from a monthly payroll cycle to a fortnightly payroll environment.

As a result, this role would suit a payroll professional who enjoys continuous improvement, thrives in project environments, and is passionate about creating scalable and efficient payroll processes.

Outside of payroll processing and project responsibilities, you will also provide occasional support to the wider finance team with ad hoc accounts and finance-related activities during non-payroll weeks.
