Payroll, HRIS & Global Mobility Manager

About the Company
Our client is a purpose-driven global investment firm with approximately 200 employees and a growing international presence. Known for its strong values, high performance and people-first culture, the business operates across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, the US and Asia.

About the Role
Reporting in to the Head of Reward, this is a key leadership position within the People & Culture team, overseeing payroll operations across eight countries with additional involvement in HRIS and global mobility. You’ll manage a small team (currently one direct report) and ensure seamless payroll delivery, supported by established vendors and detailed in-house documentation.

The role offers variety—balancing hands-on delivery, vendor and compliance oversight, and project work across systems and mobility. You’ll support international employee transfers, coordinate with external partners, and contribute to HRIS configuration and integration. It’s a broad and rewarding role with genuine scope to make an impact.

About You
You’re an experienced Payroll Manager with strong international payroll knowledge, a hands-on approach and experience in financial or professional services. You’re also well versed in working across broader HRIS and mobility functions. Experience with Datacom, ADP or Payescape would be an advantage.

You thrive in both detail and strategy, bringing a proactive, solutions-focused mindset. You enjoy building and improving processes, and you're comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Above all, you're collaborative, adaptable, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves. 

About Culture and Benefits
A genuinely global working environment that is collaborative, agile, and grounded in operational excellence. As the company continues to grow, there’s significant opportunity to shape and influence systems, people, and processes.

The culture is grounded and people-focused where collaboration and kindness go hand-in-hand with performance. The People & Culture team is tight-knit, supportive, and committed to great work.

Flexible work is embedded in the culture. Longer-term arrangements can include hybrid work (up to 50%), part-time (four days/week or a nine-day fortnight), and other flexible options.
