Payroll Manager Required in London - London

Payroll Manager Required in London

This is not a support role. This is ownership.

We’re looking for a top-tier Payroll Manager who wants full accountability, real autonomy, and the trust that comes with owning one of the most critical processes in the business.
If you’re someone who knows payroll inside out — compliance, controls, deadlines, and risk — and you want to run it properly without micromanagement, this role is for you.

The role
You’ll have end-to-end responsibility for UK (and potentially Ireland) payroll, working with senior HR and Finance stakeholders to ensure payroll is accurate, compliant, well-controlled, and boring in all the right ways.
This is a fully remote role, designed for an experienced professional who doesn’t need hand-holding and takes pride in getting payroll right every single time.

What you’ll be responsible for
End-to-end ownership of monthly payroll processing
Managing and optimising payroll bureaus and vendors
Ensuring full compliance with UK payroll legislation (Ireland a bonus)
Payroll approvals, reconciliations, and funding coordination
Acting as the escalation point for payroll issues and queries
Maintaining strong controls, documentation, and audit readiness
Driving continuous improvement across payroll processes and systems

What we’re looking for
Proven experience as a Payroll Manager / Head of Payroll
Deep, hands-on knowledge of UK payroll
Confident managing payroll partners and senior stakeholders
Detail-obsessed, calm under pressure, and highly reliable
Comfortable working fully remotely with autonomy and accountability
Experience in multi-entity or scaling environments is a plus

Why this role stands out
£70,000 – £95,000 salary (depending on experience)
Fully remote — work from anywhere in the UK
Senior-level trust and ownership
Minimal bureaucracy, maximum responsibility
A role where payroll is respected, not treated as admin
