Job description

Payroll Manager

April 15, 2025

About the Company

We’re a high-performing, people-first recruitment agency with a reputation for doing things differently. Our culture is grounded in collaboration, excellence, and having a good laugh along the way. Based in vibrant Britomart, we offer the benefits of a well-established business without the red tape, and we're growing fast.

About the Role

This is a new and exciting opportunity to take full ownership of staff and contractor payroll at a company that values innovation and improvement. You’ll be at the heart of our operations making an impact with every pay run and process you enhance. You’ll enjoy responsibility, variety, and support in a role where you’ll never be bored. There will be lots of support and a thorough handover, then the role will be in a sole charge capacity once you’re up and running.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end payroll for permanent staff and a large contractor base (weekly / monthly via Astute) - this will be approx 70% of the role.
  • Calculate and report on commissions (currently via spreadsheet, so you’re an Excel superstar!)
  • End-to-end AP and AR processes, ensuring timely and accurate transactions
  • Lead payroll system improvement projects, including implementation and automation where suitable
  • Support the Group Finance Lead and CEO with month-end reporting and compliance
  • We need a confident communicator who can remain calm, and build trust with our networks as well as internally.

So Who Are You And What Is Your Profile?

  • You bring extensive experience in payroll management, ideally across high-volume or contractor-heavy environments.
  • You’ve handled complex payroll systems and can speak to improvements you’ve made. We have Astute, Smartly, Xero, and Dext here.
  • You’re confident, calm under pressure, and have the communication skills to push back where needed.
  • A natural problem-solver who thrives in a process-improvement environment.
  • Excel-lent Excel skills and commissions calculations (you love a good formula!).
  • Experienced in AP / AR, month-end processes, and compliance tasks (or be keen and willing to add this to your skillset).
  • A collaborative team player who takes ownership over their role with a no-dramas attitude and a good sense of humour.
  • You’re proactive and take pride in delivering on your promises every time.
  • We’re looking to move quickly, so apply now to join a fun-loving, high-performing team with a role where your expertise will be valued from day one.

    Applicants for this position should be currently living in New Zealand & have NZ residency or a valid NZ work permit. Unfortunately, we cannot consider your application without this.

    Studies have shown that women and people from under-represented backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles where they don't match the job description criteria exactly. If you're excited about this role, but your experience aligns less than 100%, we encourage you to apply.

  • Full-time role with variety and ownership
  • Based in Britomart near cafes & transport
  • Join a fun, values-driven team in a fast-paced industry
