Payroll Manager

The Opportunity

Perigon Group is excited to partner with a leading ASX-listed organisation in search of a Payroll Manager. We’re looking for an experienced, detail-oriented payroll leader to take ownership of the payroll function across the business.

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you’ll lead a small payroll team, own statutory compliance, and act as the go-to payroll expert for employees and senior management. As a listed organisation, you’ll get the rigour and profile that comes with a public company without sacrificing the balance and flexibility that keeps good people around.

• Manage leave, including Paid Parental Leave (employer and Government), monthly leave reporting, and annual and long service leave provisions
• Own statutory reconciliations, reporting and payments, including Payroll Tax, IAS, Superannuation, FBT, Payment Times Reporting and Workers Compensation
• Manage payroll accruals at month-end, half-year and year-end, and support audit requirements
• Lead, train and develop the payroll team, including day-to-day guidance and performance reviews
• Champion process improvement, maintain procedure manuals and play an active role in system upgrades
• Partner with external stakeholders including banks, auditors and statutory agencies

About You

• Proven experience in a senior payroll or payroll management role, ideally in a multi-entity or high-volume environment
• Strong working knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, awards and statutory obligations
• Experience leading, coaching and developing a team
• Highly accurate, organised and comfortable managing competing deadlines
• Confident with payroll systems and Excel, with a continuous improvement mindset
• Excellent communicator who can support employees and stakeholders at all levels

What’s On Offer

• Senior, visible role with direct exposure to finance leadership and a clear path to progress
• Excellent work-life balance and flexibility
• A generous perks and benefits package that comes with an established listed organisation
• A collaborative, values-led team that backs your development and progression
