• Handle confidential payroll and employee information with discretion and care.
• Maintain an organised, clean and efficient production workspace.
• Work collaboratively with payroll and operations colleagues to resolve discrepancies and meet client deadlines.
• Follow established processes to maintain accuracy, security and consistent service quality.

• Previous experience in a production, print room, mailroom, packaging, document processing or similar operational role.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to repetitive, accuracy‑critical tasks.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• Comfortable working with printed documents, computer systems and production equipment.
• A reliable, proactive approach with a strong sense of responsibility.
• Ability to follow established procedures and handle confidential information appropriately.
• A team‑oriented attitude and willingness to support colleagues during busy periods.

Desirable experience:

• Previous work within payroll services, financial services or another environment handling confidential documents.
• Experience preparing high‑volume document batches, checks or client packages.
• Familiarity with quality‑control procedures, printing equipment or dispatch processes.

• An opportunity to join an established and growing payroll services business.
• A hands‑on role within an operational team where accuracy and reliability matter.
• On‑the‑job training and the opportunity to develop production and payroll operations knowledge.
• A collaborative working environment with an established client‑service operation.
• Estimated annual salary of $45,000-$55,000, depending on experience.
