As our Payroll and HRIS Specialist, you will report to the Head of HR and be the bridge between the People and Finance teams. You will focus on ensuring that payroll is delivered accurately and efficiently every fortnight for approximately 1000 people, across both the UK and Ireland, by preparing all the information and passing it to our payroll providers. You will own the relationship with our HR Information Systems (Harri in the UK and Bizimply in Dublin) ensuring that functionality and permissions are working and also overseeing data and reporting from the systems. The HR and Payroll Assistant will support you in running payroll, and cover holidays.
About You
You’ll have lots of experience working with computerised payroll systems and Microsoft office programs, including advanced Microsoft Excel skills alongside the ability to process manual payroll calculations. Preferably, you’ll also have high volume payroll experience in payroll for either hospitality or retail, and an understanding of Tronc (service charge) would be ideal. CIPD, CIPP or equivalent qualification would be a distinct advantage but not necessary. You’ll be responsive to the business and flexible with hours at peak times and we offer flexibility in your hours and hybrid working in return.
Accuracy and attention to detail are really important for this role, but our best managers also genuinely care about the people who work here, are great communicators, and willing to adapt and learn.
