- Working closely with HR, Finance, and Benefits to ensure seamless integration across systems and processes
- Managing statutory reporting, pension contributions, P11Ds, and year-end activities with precision.
- Spotting opportunities to streamline and improve - because payroll should never just be "done", it should be smartly done.
?? What You'll Bring:
- Proven experience in managing end-to-end UK payroll, ideally in a sole or lead capacity
- Confidence working with an outsourced provider - you know how to manage expectations, timelines, and quality control.
- High level of attention to detail - because when you're dealing with top talent, accuracy is everything
- Natural problem-solving ability - you don't just find answers, you make complex things simple
- Comfortable engaging with bright, switched-on colleagues - from tech to trading, they'll be looking to you as the subject matter expert.
- Tech-savvy and curious - we love people who ask questions, explore better ways of doing things, and embrace continuous improvement.
?? What's In It For You?
- A genuinely unique opportunity to join a world-class company at the intersection of finance and technology.
- Hybrid working model - collaborate in our stunning London HQ and enjoy the flexibility of remote days.
- Competitive salary + exceptional bonus potential + outstanding benefits (seriously, our benefits are next level).
