  • Support P11D and PSA reporting processes
  • Improve payroll documentation, controls, and process efficiency as the business scales

  • Has solid UK payroll experience with end-to-end ownership
  • Has a strong understanding of UK payroll processes and HMRC compliance
  • Is comfortable working with payroll systems (ideally PayFit or similar)
  • Has experience processing invoices and completing basic accounts payable tasks
  • Has experience working with contractor or multi-jurisdiction payroll (e.g. Deel exposure is a plus)
  • Has strong Excel skills and is confident handling payroll data and reconciliations
  • Has high attention to detail and takes pride in accuracy
  • Takes ownership and can operate independently without close supervision
  • Is proactive, adaptable, and comfortable improving processes in a fast-moving environment
