Payroll and Pensions Manager

The Payroll and Pension Manager is responsible for the weekly and monthly payrolls for all staff across the NT in each pay period. The Payroll and Pension Manager provides a key interface between the Payroll department and People team, and with members of the finance department and the NT s staff.

As the NT continues to evolve under the management of a new Artistic Director, the work of the payroll department will continue to change and the team must be continually able to identify and implement ways to improve the efficiency of the department.

Payroll costs form almost 40% of the NT s cost base. With increased pressure on public funding, the way in which the NT spends will be under even more scrutiny. This puts increased demand on the payroll team to provide accurate and detailed management information.

The successful candidate will have the following:

• Proven experience of running a complex payroll department and a high degree of professionalism
• Strong technical, payroll system and taxation knowledge and the ability to keep up to date with changes to legislation and best practice
• The ability to critically appraise the payroll system, processes and controls, and identify and implement changes to the payroll processes and procedures
• Proven experience of managing staff with the ability to encourage and motivate, creating an open and positive environment to enable people to succeed
• A resilient, highly motivated individual who has the ability to work on own initiative and effectively as part of a team.

If that sounds like you, this may be the role for you!
