Ensuring payroll data is accurate, secure, and up to date.
Partnering with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and resolve payroll-related challenges.
What You'll Bring
At least five years of payroll experience with a strong understanding of NZ employment legislation.
Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with financial systems.

Excellent communication skills to explain complex issues clearly.
A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to resolving challenges.
A genuine passion for supporting people and achieving positive outcomes.
