Job description

Your opportunity

Ready to lead a function that keeps every pay day running smoothly? As Payroll Team Lead, you’ll play a central role in creating confidence and trust across Tabcorp by helping ensure our people are paid accurately and on time. Working within People & Culture, you’ll bring leadership, expertise and calm direction to a fast-paced environment while influencing service quality, compliance and continuous improvement across payroll operations.

Your role, your impact

Reporting to the Senior Manager P&C Operations & Payroll, you’ll lead daily payroll operations, support a small team of payroll professionals and help deliver reliable, compliant payroll services across the business.

Specifically, you will;

  • Lead end-to-end payroll processing and review payroll outcomes
  • Guide and support payroll team members through coaching
  • Manage payroll queries, escalations and complex scenarios
  • Monitor compliance, audits and payroll quality checks
  • Continuously improve processes and contribute to system enhancements
  • Lead and foster a continuous improvement mindset within the team.
  • Partner with stakeholders to maintain payroll service standards

What you'll need to succeed

You’re a collaborative payroll professional who enjoys helping others succeed, and your inquisitive nature helps build trust in the team by always driving them and the function to improve. You balance accuracy with great service and bring a practical approach to solving problems.

  • Experienced in end-to-end payroll processing environments, ideally having worked with multiple systems and tackled a range of problems across various organisations. Experience with Aurion would be advantageous, but not essential.

  • Strong capability in payroll legislation and compliance

  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities effectively

  • Experience leading a small team and the ability to coach, support and develop team capability

  • Experienced in payroll audits, reconciliations and reporting

  • Strong attention to detail and proactive approach to problem-solving

  • Confidence to innovate, test and learn and drive a strong continuous improvement mindset in the team

Perks that make a difference

We know that when we belong, we thrive. That’s why we offer:

  • Time for moments that matter - from birthdays to cultural leave, flexible public holidays, and 5 days bonus leave
  • 18 weeks paid parental leave for every new parent, no matter your role
  • Ticketing to some of the country’s biggest racing and sports events.
  • Access to our leading wellbeing app and programs to help you be your best
  • A range of corporate discounts and special offers with leading retailers
  • A diverse and inclusive culture where everyone belongs
