Description
Payroll Manager – Part Time
At Life Scientific, we believe in doing things differently — and better. We’re a fast-scaling, innovation-led company operating internationally across multiple functions and markets. We thrive on agility, bold thinking, and a high-trust, high-performance culture.
About the Role
As a Payroll Specialist, you’ll be a critical part of ensuring our people are paid accurately and on time — across our international operations. You’ll manage payroll processes across multiple jurisdictions through a panel of external providers, working closely with Finance, HR, and country teams.
This isn’t just a transactional role — you’ll be our first point of contact for payroll queries, help drive process improvements, and ensure we meet compliance requirements in every region we operate in. If you're proactive, detail-focused, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role offers the chance to take ownership and drive meaningful impact.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
* Managing fortnightly and monthly payroll processes across our international operations via external service providers
* Acting as the first point of contact for payroll queries, delivering timely, customer-focused support
* Implementing and maintaining robust checks and balances for payroll accuracy and timeliness
* Posting monthly salaries and related costs to SAP and reconciling control accounts
* Supporting payroll setup for new countries and operational expansions
* Responding to internal and external audit queries
* Driving Payroll Process Efficiency and strong vendor management
* Managing inputs such as starters, leavers, RPNs, allowances, and deductions
* Preparing payroll control books, reporting, validations, and reconciliations
* Ensuring full compliance with tax and employment regulations in each region
What You’ll Bring
* Previous experience in payroll, HR, or accounting, ideally in a multi-country setting
* Knowledge of international payroll processes (experience with French payroll a plus)
* Familiarity with accounting for payroll and salary-related costs
* Experience with SAP or similar systems for payroll and GL reconciliations
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills
* A solutions-focused, customer-first mindset
* Ability to manage third-party vendors to agreed SLAs
* Comfort working under pressure and managing shifting priorities
* A track record of driving process improvement and automation
* Autonomy to improve processes and influence how we scale payroll operations
* A collaborative, human-centered culture where initiative is celebrated
* Real opportunities to grow and shape your career
* The chance to join a business that’s disrupting its sector with science and speed
