Payroll Coordinator
Location: Coventry Head Office
Package: Basic salary up to £30,000 plus bonus & flexible benefits package including hybrid working, up to 27 days holiday (plus additional annual leave purchasing scheme)
Sector: Packaging Distribution
The Company
We, the UK’s leading packaging distributor have an exciting role for someone to join our business in a Payroll Coordinator capacity. We are a committed equal opportunities employer that champions dignity in the workplace. Our focus is to provide customers with fully integrated and innovative packaging solutions, augmented by outstanding customer service.
The Payroll Coordinator Role
This is an exciting new opportunity, created largely due to growth and expansion, and forms part of the HR function. Working closely with the existing Payroll Co-ordinator, you will support the processing of a monthly pay cycle for approximately 900 employees, on multiple payrolls, including European sites. Whilst payroll is administered through an external provider (currently ADP), the majority of processing is managed in-house. This role will also support the Senior HR Business Partner with HR projects. This will involve admin support; specifically gathering data, pulling info together, and supporting with written HR communications. This is ideally a full-time role, but for the right candidate we may be open to considering a minimum of 25 hours working week.
Payroll Coordinator Key Duties:
Reporting to the HR Services Manager and working closely with colleagues across the HR team (as well as a range of stakeholders from across our business), your responsibilities will include:
You must have previous payroll experience, within a multi-site organisation. Whilst you do not need the ability to run manual calculations, you will have a thorough and robust understanding of payroll compliance requirements, including tax legislation and GDPR. You will be accustomed to dealing with a busy payroll, having the strong ability to prioritise and manage multiple work flows concurrently and within tight timescales. You will be analytically minded with strong attention to detail skills.
We are looking for someone with at least 8 years previous payroll experience, accustomed to high volume transactions. The business we operate is fast moving and demanding, so flexibility is key. We are a service driven team and take a fluid approach in responding to the needs of the business. This can be challenging when juggling multiple tasks within tight timescales. You will have strong organisation and prioritisation skills, whilst ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
The business is growing, and therefore ideally you have experience in understanding and integrating acquired payrolls. In addition, experience in large scale payroll transfers and change projects would be positive. We also operate small payrolls outside the UK and ideally you will have some exposure to Irish and European payrolls.
The right person must be analytically minded and with strong attention to detail skills. You must be competent in Microsoft Office (and in particular Excel), with experience in complex formulas.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds irrespective of your age, gender, disability, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender identity, religion or sexual orientation. Should you require any specific support or adjustments during the recruitment process, please email our recruitment team directly.
