Payroll Specialist

Payroll Specialist - up to £40k plus competitive benefits and hybrid working. Campbell Grove Talent are working with a business on the outskirts of Boroughbridge who are continuing to grow and now looking looking for a Payroll Specialist to join their great finance team. This isn’t a role where you’ll simply sit and process payroll. Our client is looking for someone hands-on, who enjoys taking ownership, spotting where things could work better and being involved across the wider finance and people function.

You’ll have plenty of variety, including:
Taking ownership of the payroll function and making sure everything runs smoothly Being the person everyone goes to when they have a payroll question Working closely with Finance, People and Operations to resolve issues and improve processes Keeping employee records and payroll data accurate and up to date Supporting month-end with payroll-related reporting, journals and reconciliations Producing payroll analysis and information for the wider business Monitoring payroll costs and highlighting anything that doesn’t look quite right Supporting pension administration and employee benefit processes Keeping up to date with changes in payroll legislation and making sure these are reflected in the business Working with HMRC, pension providers and other external contacts Helping to improve systems, processes and reporting as the business continues to grow Getting involved in projects and other finance/people initiatives as they arise Providing wider support to the finance team during busy periods Who we are looking for:
Someone who really knows payroll, but also wants more than a processing role. You’ll be organised, commercially aware and confident dealing with people at all levels. You’ll spot a problem and get involved in fixing it rather than waiting for someone else to do it.

Experience with Sage would be useful, and a CIPP qualification would be a bonus, but we’re more interested in finding someone who is capable, practical and enjoys being part of a growing business. If that sounds like your kind of next move, please reach out to Emma Dugdale or Lucy Regan.
