Why This Role Matters

Payroll is the backbone of every business. Get it right, and employees are happy, businesses run smoothly, and trust is built. Get it wrong, and the impact can be huge.

For those who want to progress, we’ll provide the training, mentoring, and opportunities to move into supervisory or management roles.

What You'll Be Doing

Running monthly payrolls for some of our most important ROI clients, ensuring everything is 100% accurate and compliant.

Supporting the Client Payroll Team Lead with planning workloads and stepping up in their absence.

Resolving client complaints, Revenue queries, journal issues, and portal problems.

Carrying out quality checks and ensuring compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISAE 3402, GDPR, KPIs and other standards.

Acting as a trusted advisor for clients and their employees, providing friendly and professional support on payroll matters.

Getting involved in payroll process improvement projects, system upgrades, automation, and testing.

What We’re Looking For

Experience with Sage Micropay, ARW, payroll journals, CSO returns, benefits, etc.

Strong skills in Excel and Outlook.

Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills – able to manage your own busy schedule.

Clear and confident English communication skills, written and verbal.

A genuine team-player attitude – willing to support others while working independently.

Curiosity and initiative – keen to spot improvements and drive better ways of working.

What You’ll Gain

The chance to work for Ireland’s top payroll provider within a global software group.

A role where your skills are valued, and your work makes a direct difference.

Career development opportunities – with support to grow into team lead or management roles.

Exposure to high-profile clients and international payroll operations.

A collaborative and supportive environment, with colleagues who share your passion for payroll.
