Payroll Implementation Manager

About This Opportunity

We are representing a well-funded workforce management technology company that is transforming how frontline organisations handle scheduling, HR, and payroll operations. Our client serves over 100 enterprise customers across multiple markets and is experiencing rapid growth.

As a Payroll Implementation Manager, you'll take end-to-end ownership of onboarding customers onto the payroll platform. You'll work hands-on with the software itself, configuring systems, running parallel payrolls, delivering training, and ensuring clean go-lives. This role offers unusual access to the product team and direct influence over how implementation processes evolve.

This is a startup environment with high-calibre colleagues, fast-moving development, and minimal bureaucracy. You'll need to be comfortable operating without everything being fully defined.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end payroll implementations from discovery through system configuration, parallel runs, training, and go-live
• Configure and troubleshoot UK payroll setups, including general ledger and pensions configuration and RTI processing
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and take ownership of implementing changes
• Partner with Project Managers and Solutions Architects to support the wider implementation journey
• Provide ad hoc on-site customer support for training and launch activities, alongside remote delivery
• Use AI tools confidently in day-to-day work, from reconciliation to communication

What We're Looking For

• Proven, hands-on experience implementing UK payroll systems end-to-end, not just coordinating others who do
• Deep working knowledge of UK payroll legislation and processing requirements
• Genuinely curious, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity
• High attention to detail and strong sense of accountability
• Comfortable using AI in everyday tools like spreadsheets, communications, and reconciliation
• Bonus: CIPP qualification or working towards one
