Description
Our EMEA Payroll team is at the heart of our ongoing global payroll operations, acting as the interface between our global customers and in-country partners to ensure that payrolls are consistently delivered accurately and on time while providing a best-in-class customer experience. With a core portfolio of customers, you'll have autonomy and responsibility for delivering a great service, building long term relationships and supporting our customers to be successful.
We have office bases in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, where we have embraced hybrid working of 2 days a week in the office and 3 days from home. We're happy to talk about how this might work for you as part of the hiring process.
On a typical day you’ll be…
- Acting as the focal point for a varied portfolio of payroll clients, delivering consistently fantastic customer service
- Working closely with our network of in-country payroll partners to ensure customer payrolls are delivered on time and accurately
- Hosting and chairing regular governance calls with customers to track progress, review performance and identify opportunities for improvement
- Preparing monthly governance reports by country
- Ensuring that payroll manuals are relevant and updated regularly to reflect current processes
- Preparing payroll calendars and checklists, ensuring that checking sheets are completed for every payroll processed
- Answering queries from customers, partners and colleagues, troubleshooting and resolving where possible, or escalating more complex issues through our internal channels
Does this sound like you?
This role is primarily a coordination role - managing stakeholders, keeping payrolls on schedule and managing queries from customers and partners.

- Really good skills with databases, systems and software packages, especially Microsoft Excel
- A proactive approach to customer management, making sure that customers are fully updated and never in any doubt as to how their service is being delivered
- An honest and authentic communication style, able to face into both positive and difficult conversations
- A drive to be a brilliant team player, supporting colleagues across the team to ensure that customer service delivery is consistent across the department, providing help and guidance and ensuring no one is left behind
