Payroll Officer | Part-Time (3 Days) | 12-Month Contract | Melbourne

Looking for a payroll role that fits around your life — without sacrificing the work that keeps things interesting?
We're on the hunt for an experienced Payroll Officer to join a high-performing team on a 12-month parental leave contract. This is a part-time role (3 days per week) that offers genuine flexibility, including the option to work from home, and sits within a business that genuinely looks after its people.

About the role
You'll be stepping into a well-established payroll function, keeping the fortnightly pay run humming for a workforce of 1,000+ employees. You'll work closely with a payroll officer based in Townsville and report into a supportive Payroll Manager.

It's a busy 12 months — the business is mid-way through a UKG implementation, with EOFY, payday super deadlines and annual salary reviews all landing in the mix — so you'll hit the ground running. I

What you'll bring
  • 2-3 years of hands-on payroll processing experience
  • UKG system experience (this one's important — it's a key part of why we need you)
  • Confidence interpreting enterprise agreements
  • Experience in a mid-to-large payroll environment
  • A steady, reliable approach when deadlines are non-negotiable
What's on offer
  • 3 days per week, with flexibility on how and where you work
  • Competitive salary — discussed on application
  • A genuinely collaborative team culture
  • And as a bonus — there may even be an opportunity for business travel to Townsville
The details
  • 12-month fixed-term contract
  • Start date: mid-May 2025
  • Preferred work days (Mon-Wed)
  • Based in Melbourne, with remote flexibility for the right person
If you're an experienced payroll professional looking for a role that fits around your lifestyle — and you've got UKG experience under your belt — we'd love to hear from you.
