A Appoint Recruitment is partnering with an established organisation to recruit an experienced Payroll Lead for an initial 3–6 month contract, with the potential to extend longer term.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Australian payroll professional looking for a role where you can step in, make an impact and have genuine ownership of payroll operations.

The Opportunity

  • Act as the key point of contact for payroll queries, issues and escalations.

  • Work closely with HR, Finance, SAP and other internal teams to resolve payroll and data issues.
  • Support payroll reporting, labour cost analysis, budgeting and forecasting.
  • Assist with payroll systems, process improvement and transition activities as required.

About You

We're looking for an experienced payroll professional who can confidently step into a senior payroll role and work effectively with both internal stakeholders and an external payroll provider.

You'll ideally have:

  • Strong Australian payroll experience across weekly and/or monthly payroll environments.
  • Strong understanding of Australian payroll legislation and compliance.
  • Experience working with an outsourced payroll provider, payroll bureau or similar environment.
  • Experience working across payroll, HRIS, time and attendance and finance systems.
  • SAP experience is highly desirable, but not essential.

Why Apply?

  • $75–$85 per hour + super
  • WFH available with flexibility around office requirements.
  • Initial 3–6 month contract with potential to extend longer term.
  • Immediate start available.
  • Rivervale location, close to Perth CBD and major transport links.
  • Senior payroll opportunity within an established organisation.
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact across payroll operations, systems and process improvement.

If you're an experienced Australian payroll professional looking for your next contract and enjoy taking ownership, solving problems and working with a range of stakeholders, we'd love to hear from you.
