The business has significant presence in NZ and is well regarded. With significant investment in properties and ventures the payroll crosses industries and can provide complexity to make life interesting. The business continues to see growth and hence this is a newly created position to support the growing demands of the business

**The Role**

You will need to have very strong communication skills, time management skills and experience with more complex payroll processes. You will need to have experience dealing with rostering and timesheet systems and processes.

As the business has embarked on systems changes, any experience with process improvement post go-live will also be advantageous.
