The successful candidate will collate and quality-check payroll data, manage client communication over email and Teams, liaise with in-country partners across European markets, and coordinate HR and employment law matters including terminations that carry strict country-specific requirements.

At least 3 years of relevant experience in accounting, payroll or a closely related field, broadly equivalent to a newly qualified SAIPA clerk

Strong Microsoft Excel skills and comfort working with detailed data and documentation
Exposure to payroll systems and payment tools or platforms is advantageous
Experience working with international clients or cross-border processes is a plus
Excellent written and verbal communication in English
Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment
Ambitious, with a genuine interest in building a long-term career in international payroll
Key Responsibilities
Process payroll payments for international clients accurately and on time using relevant payment tools and payment files
Understand payroll calculation structures including employee tax, employer tax and statutory requirements across different countries
Check payroll data and payment files for completeness before processing
Prepare journal entries to account for payroll transactions accurately
Communicate with clients over email and Teams to gather required information and follow up on missing details
Answer client questions on international payroll matters, escalating complex legislative questions to in-country specialists as needed
Liaise with local in-country partners across European and other international markets to gather and confirm payroll-related information
Filter and route information appropriately between clients, partners and the legal team
Help interpret and explain country-specific HR and employment law requirements to clients in plain, practical terms
Apply sound judgement to identify when matters, particularly around terminations, need to be escalated to legal or a specialist
Keep clear, organised records of client communications and payroll processing steps
Support project management of international payroll portfolios across multiple countries and partners
Communicate proactively when deadlines or processing agreements are at risk
Build relationships with wider payroll, tax and legal teams across the organisation
