• Short-term contract | Immediate start | Canterbury-based | Full time hours
• Lead end-to-end payroll in a complex, high-volume environment
• Provide stability during a major systems transition

We're partnering with a well-established organisation navigating a period of change. With a key team member departing and a significant payroll system implementation underway, there is a need for an experienced payroll professional to step in and keep things running smoothly.
 
This is a senior, hands-on role focused on ensuring payroll accuracy, compliance, and continuity, while the wider team remains focused on system implementation and future improvements.
 
About the role
 
You'll have end-to-end responsibility for payroll across a sizeable and diverse workforce, within a detailed and compliance-driven environment. This includes a mix of salaried and waged staff, along with varying payroll requirements.
 
A high level of autonomy is required, along with the ability to troubleshoot issues and maintain accuracy during a busy and evolving period.
 
What we're looking for

• Proven end-to-end payroll experience
• Strong knowledge of NZ payroll legislation (Holidays Act, IRD, etc.)
• Confidence working independently in a complex environment
• Experience with large payroll systems (TechnologyOne exposure highly regarded)
• A calm, solutions-focused approach with strong attention to detail

The opportunity

• Immediate start, with contract running through to approximately end of July
• Competitive hourly rate aligned to senior capability
• Collaborative, supportive team environment
• A chance to play a key role in maintaining business continuity during change
