As a Payroll Support Consultant, you will work within our Customer Experience team and be responsible for gathering information from customers and ensuring their continued support and success after implementing our Employment Hero product. In this role, you will support our customers to ensure accuracy and be responsible for resolving customer tickets efficiently and effectively. This includes addressing customer issues with professionalism and care, and escalating to the appropriate teams where necessary. We have roles available on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract or permanent full‑time – please indicate your preference in the application questions.

Your key focus areas will be :

  • Providing timely and accurate support to customers post go‑live, ensuring payroll accuracy and confidence in using the EH platform
  • Resolving support tickets efficiently while delivering a high level of customer care and professionalism
  • Reducing ticket escalation volume through proactive troubleshooting, clear communication, and strong product knowledge
  • Enhancing the customer experience by contributing to process improvements, product feedback, and support documentation

This will include :

  • Providing support to clients after they ‘go‑live’ by walking them through updates needed or how to troubleshoot in a variety of ways, such as award interpretation and platform configuration
  • Responding to and resolving customer tickets, calls and queries related to the Employment Hero Platform in a timely manner
  • Assisting and collaborating with the wider squad and support team to provide best‑practice system use and education to all our customers
  • Proactively analysing and understanding product functionality across the platform and logic in detail, testing in platforms to identify user error / system logic and related root causes, while maintaining comprehensive awareness of product changes and enhancements
  • Conducting, triaging customer support issues and assigning to the appropriate team or resolving where possible
  • Taking on client and team payroll escalations for our customers
  • Assisting with requirements gathering to run post‑mortems and run internal support team workshops
  • Escalating issues related to bugs or product logic / functionality concerns as necessary, in collaboration with Seniors / Team Leads and the Product Team
  • Working with customers across multiple channels (email, chat, phone, screen share) to understand their organisational workflow and how the platform can support them to maximise their people processes
  • Managing problem tickets with urgency and collaborating with key stakeholders to resolve as quickly as possible
  • Leveraging ZenDesk, Salesforce and other internal tools for maintaining records, ticket investigations and referencing customer interactions, transactions, comments, and complaints in accordance with service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Proactively contributing feature requests, Customer Care Processes, macros and Help Centre suggestions, where warranted and using customer insights
  • Who you are

    To thrive at Employment Hero, you will embody The EH Way – operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you will also bring :

  • Relevant Australian and / or New Zealand payroll knowledge and industry experience
  • Previous experience in setting up, implementing and / or administrating payroll systems (knowledge of EH Payroll / KeyPay is a plus)
  • Exposure to working in fluid, high‑change and high‑velocity environments
  • Prior exposure to customer experience within a SaaS (Software as a Service) environment
  • An attitude that always puts your customer's needs first
  • Problem‑solving skills with a sound and thorough approach to troubleshooting
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, working autonomously; requesting assistance where needed
  • Strong and polished verbal and written communication skills
  • What we can offer

    At Employment Hero, we don’t just talk about a better way to work – we live it. Joining Employment Hero means :

  • You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
  • You will access cutting‑edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outcomes
  • You’ll surround yourself with ambitious, outcome‑driven colleagues who challenge you to do the best work of your life
  • You’ll own ESOP (employee share options) in one of the world’s fastest‑growing tech companies
  • You’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits that include a very generous paternity leave policy, subsidised egg freezing (so you can make the choice that’s right for you, on your terms), a WFH office expense budget, and outstanding learning & development opportunities
  • At Employment Hero, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your application data. To understand how we do so, you can read our Applicant Privacy Policy here employmenthero.com / legals / applicant‑policy / .
