We are searching for an individual with payroll administration experience (+2 years ideally with a payroll size of above 1000 for an EBA covered workforce) along with demonstrated advanced excel skills and experience in producing reports to the highest standard of accuracy in a timely manner.
Of equal importance is your passion for working as part of a team and your genuine care for delivering a great experience for our most important customer – our people.

- Excellent excel skills (comfortable with pivot tables, lookups, formulas..)
- Exposure to ADP Global View and Workday (or a similar system) will hold you in high regard, in addition to exposure to operating in a partially outsourced payroll environment (highly regarded but not essential).
