Payroll Officer

Support accurate, timely payroll across King Living's global operations — a 12-month contract at our Sydney Design & Support Centre.

The King Difference

This is not just a payroll processing role where you run the same pay cycle on repeat.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract with genuine breadth — supporting end-to-end payroll across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UK and South East Asia during a period of real organisational change and growth.

What You Will Own

Payroll Processing Support end-to-end payroll processing across multiple regions and pay cycles — ensuring every team member is paid accurately and on time, every time.

Data & Systems Contribute to data cleansing, validation and systems preparation as King Living continues to invest in and evolve its payroll and HR technology.

Compliance & Query Resolution Support compliance with relevant payroll legislation and act as a first point of contact for employee pay queries — responding with professionalism, care and speed.

Reconciliation & Reporting Assist with payroll reconciliations and reporting in support of Finance — including month end, year end and audit requirements.

Who You Are

You will likely come from an end-to-end payroll processing role — ideally with exposure to multi-region or multi-entity environments. What matters most is your accuracy, your ownership, and your ability to keep payroll running without exception.

You are a payroll professional who takes genuine pride in accuracy, discretion and getting things right every single time.
