Reporting to the Head of People Care and Operations, you'll lead a team of three Senior Payroll Officers, overseeing day-to-day payroll delivery while continuing to improve processes, systems and compliance.

A key focus will be bringing the team along on the journey, building strong working relationships and creating an environment where people feel supported and confident in their roles.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve accuracy, efficiency and service delivery.
• Support iChris system configuration, enhancements and the upcoming upgrade / releases.
• Build strong relationships across People & Culture, Finance and other internal stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain clear processes and documentation to support the team.

About You:

You'll ideally have:

• Experience leading a payroll team in a complex environment.
• Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, awards, enterprise agreements and statutory obligations.
• Solid experience with payroll systems, including configuration, upgrades and troubleshooting. iChris experience is required.
• A good understanding of payroll compliance, governance and internal controls, with the ability to identify gaps and implement improvements.
