Skills and experience:

To succeed as Payroll Manager, you’ll need experience within a high-volume UK payroll environment, strong Excel skills and current knowledge of payroll legislation. You’ll be comfortable managing deadlines, investigating discrepancies and taking a practical approach to resolving queries.
