About the opportunity
Our client is a leading national leisure and recreation operator, managing a diverse portfolio of aquatic, fitness, wellness and community facilities across Australia and New Zealand.

• Partnering with payroll operations to identify trends, flag risks and prevent downstream errors
• Playing a key role in supporting the Preceda to Dayforce transition from a compliance and reporting perspective

What they're looking for

• Demonstrated experience in payroll reconciliations, statutory reporting and on-cost management
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with complex payroll data
• Ability to translate payroll complexity into plain English 

Nice to have

• Exposure to large, complex organisations (6,000+ employees)
• Familiarity with Preceda and/or Dayforce — transition experience valued
• NZ payroll experience
