Summary:
Payroll is where precision meets impact — get one number wrong and it ripples across an entire team's paycheck. We're looking for an experienced Payroll Analyst who thrives on that kind of accountability, ready to own full-cycle payroll operations across multiple EMEA countries.
You'll be the person who keeps payroll running like clockwork — from data validation through processing, reconciliation, and reporting — with deep, hands-on knowledge of how payroll works across Germany, the UK, Ireland, and Spain. If you love the challenge of juggling multiple countries and deadlines without dropping a single detail, this role is built for you.
What You'll Do:
- Manage end-to-end payroll processing across multiple EMEA countries
- Support the complete payroll lifecycle, including preparation, data validation, processing, reconciliation, and reporting
- Ensure payroll information is processed accurately and within established deadlines
- Review payroll data and identify and resolve discrepancies prior to payroll completion
- Support payroll operations for employees across Germany, the UK, Ireland, Spain, and other EMEA locations as needed
- Maintain accurate payroll records and documentation
- Partner with internal teams and external payroll providers to resolve payroll-related questions and issues
- Assist with payroll reconciliations, reporting, and other payroll-related activities
- Ensure payroll processes align with applicable local requirements and internal procedures
- Provide responsive support for payroll inquiries and time-sensitive payroll matters
What You Bring:
- Demonstrated experience managing full-cycle, end-to-end payroll processing
- Strong international payroll experience, specifically within EMEA
- Hands-on payroll knowledge across Germany, the UK, Ireland, and Spain strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of payroll processing, reconciliation, reporting, and data validation
- Ability to manage multiple payroll deadlines and priorities simultaneously
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to payroll accuracy
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
Bonus Points If You Have:
