A pivotal role, there is clear scope for you to make a real impact as an experienced Payroll Officer in this prominent, growing national organisation undergoing significant scale and transformation.

• Responding to payroll queries from employees, managers and stakeholders
• Interpreting awards, agreements and payroll conditions
• Managing payroll compliance obligations including superannuation, PAYG and reporting
• Supporting month-end and year-end payroll processes
• Maintaining accurate payroll records and employee data
• Contributing to process improvement and system optimisation initiatives
