The Ideal Person

You are a detail-oriented payroll professional who thrives in a structured and compliance-focused environment. Your previous experience in government or a similar setting means you're confident navigating enterprise agreements, legislation, and complex payroll scenarios.

You are comfortable working both independently and as part of a close-knit team. You take pride in accuracy, are proactive in solving issues before they escalate, and understand the importance of confidentiality and discretion. If you’re looking for a steady, meaningful role with impact and visibility, this could be your next great opportunity.
