Full job description

Candidates must be UK-based and eligible to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not provided for this role.

Jaberu Recruitment is partnering with a well-established global organisation to find an experienced Senior Payroll Analyst for an initial 6–9-month contract based at their Enderby, Leicester site.

As Senior Payroll Analyst, you will own UK & Ireland payroll end to end and make sure every run is accurate, on time and fully compliant with local legislation. You'll also guide the UK & Ireland payroll team day to day, work closely with HR, Finance and Digital HCM, and play an active part in local and global projects that improve payroll and time processes.

If you're CIPP-qualified, know UK and Irish payroll legislation inside out and enjoy a varied role that covers expat payroll and executive compensation, we'd love to hear from you.

**Key responsibilities**

**Payroll processing:** Oversee the preparation, processing and distribution of monthly payroll for all UK & Ireland employees, in line with company policy and statutory requirements.

**Compliance:** Ensure payroll practices meet all country and local regulations, including tax reporting, wage and hour laws and record keeping.

**Global mobility & executive compensation:** Maintain expat and modified payrolls for employees on hypothetical tax status, ensuring accurate tax calculations reach stakeholders on time. Deliver executive compensation tasks, including RSU tax estimates, tax calculations and employee communications.

**Team coordination:** Coordinate the daily activities of the UK & Ireland payroll team, providing guidance, supporting their development and contributing to performance reviews.

**Reporting & audits:** Prepare and review payroll reports covering earnings, deductions, taxes and leave balances. Lead payroll audits with internal and external auditors, produce UK & Ireland payroll journals and resolve balancing queries with the finance teams.

**Collaboration & stakeholder management:** Work with HR, Digital HCM, Finance and other teams on benefits, bonuses and year-end reporting. Resolve discrepancies and payroll queries, hold quarterly stakeholder presentations, and manage payroll vendor relationships and performance.

**Process improvement:** Continually review and improve payroll processes for efficiency, accuracy and employee experience. Keep up to date with legislative changes and industry best practice and help shape payroll objectives and SLAs.

To be considered for the role, you must demonstrate the following skills and experience:

**Strong knowledge of UK and Ireland payroll legislation and statutory obligations

**Hands-on experience with payroll systems such as Workday, SAP, ADP or local in-country platforms

**CIPP (Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals) qualification

**Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, formulas and reconciliations

** Excellent numerical accuracy and attention to detail

** A strong sense of confidentiality and good awareness of data protection

While not essential, it would be considered highly desirable to have experience working with external payroll providers

**Interested?**

Apply now with your up-to-date CV to our Recruitment Partner Sara Zorriasatein at Jaberu Recruitment team for a confidential conversation about the role.

**Jaberu Recruitment is acting as an employment business in relation to this vacancy. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.**
