Senior Payroll Specialist

Do you make sure payroll is always accurate?

Salaries must be paid on time. The paperwork must be in order, and colleagues must be able to trust that everything has been processed carefully. At the same time, laws and regulations are constantly changing, and the organization continues to evolve. That’s exactly what makes this profession so interesting.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Payroll Specialist to join our HR and Finance team, who will be responsible for the payroll administration of approximately 400 employees. You will be the go-to specialist in this field and will ensure that payroll processing is carried out correctly, on time, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, you will have the opportunity to contribute ideas for improvements to processes and systems.

What will you do?

As a Senior Payroll Administrator, you are responsible for the entire payroll process. You monitor the quality of the payroll and ensure that all changes are processed correctly. In doing so, you work closely with colleagues in Finance, HR, and external parties.

Your responsibilities will include, among other things:

• Monthly payroll processing for approximately 400 employees;

• Processing and verifying personnel and payroll changes;

• Managing pension plans, insurance, and other employee benefits;

• Answering questions from employees and managers about salary and employment terms;

• Implementing changes to laws and regulations;

• Providing support for audits, internal controls, and payroll tax issues;

• Preparing reports for Finance and HR;

• Identifying opportunities for improvement and optimizing payroll processes.

You work with AFAS on a daily basis and are also involved in the implementation of Workday.

Your Work Environment

You’ll be joining the Finance team at HeadFirst Group. Although you’ll work closely with HR, responsibility for payroll lies with Finance. This means you’ll have a great deal of freedom to do your job and play a key role in ensuring quality and continuity.

As our organization grows and we continue our international collaboration with Impellam, our Finance and HR processes continue to evolve. This gives you the opportunity to actively contribute ideas for improvements and further professionalization.

What do we offer?

• An independent position with a great deal of responsibility;

• A dedicated Finance team with short lines of communication;

• Plenty of room for initiative and process improvement;

• An international work environment;

• Competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with your knowledge and experience.
