Payroll Officer

Collingwood, Victoria, Australia

IN A NUTSHELL

Bellroy is looking for a Payroll Officer who thrives on getting things right — quietly, consistently and with minimal fuss. You’ll take full ownership of our payroll function (including a mix of corporate and retail employees), and act as the connective tissue between People, Legal and Finance.

This role offers autonomy, a clear remit, and space to refine and improve processes as we scale. You’ll manage end-to-end payroll cycles, ensure compliance across jurisdictions, liaise with internal stakeholders and international providers whilst keeping a close eye on the details, from statutory reporting requirements to onboarding new employees.

We know payroll requires both rigour and trust. So while you’ll be part of a collaborative team, we’ll count on you to run this area with independence, precision and care.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU …

  • Have 4–5 years’ experience in end-to-end payroll processing
  • Worked with retail operations and have a practical understanding of GRIA interpretation - not just awareness of it
  • Managed payroll across multiple entities, and feel comfortable with global contractor management
  • Are highly organised, proactive and autonomous, whilst also comfortable working cross-functionally
  • Can interpret and action statutory reporting requirements to ensure compliance with relevant regulation
  • Have seen and supported businesses through periods of growth or change
  • Are curious about systems and willing to learn - experience with Zone - NetSuite is a bonus

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU MIGHT HAVE …

  • Processed and reconciled fortnightly payroll across our Australian business
  • Liaised with our US payroll partner to ensure compliance for a new US employee
  • Lodged our payroll tax and superannuation returns ensuring accurate reconciliation, and ensured compliance with statutory deadlines
  • Reviewed and updated master employee records to reflect onboarding, promotions and pay adjustments
  • Aligned with Finance to map out a payroll calendar and reporting schedule for Q4
  • Stepped into a quick sync with People & Culture to troubleshoot a tricky onboarding case

LOCATION & HOURS

This is a Melbourne-based role with a hybrid structure: ideally in-office Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. We trust our team to manage their time wisely, and we offer flexibility where it matters, because balance makes for better thinking.
