Leeds, UK

Permanent full time

Start a rewarding career in a people-focused role - with a company that supports your growth.

At IRIS Software Group, we’re best known for providing software that helps schools, businesses, and accountants run more efficiently. But we’re more than just a tech company - we also deliver critical services to thousands of organisations across the UK.

Our Managed Payroll Services team is one of those services. We take care of the entire payroll process on behalf of our clients - ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time, every time. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for organised, friendly, and reliable people to join us as Client Payroll Associates. You’ll be supporting clients in either our Commercial or Education teams - running payrolls, answering questions, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

You’ll spend at least three days a week in our Leeds city centre office (just a short walk from the station), with the flexibility to work from home the rest of the week - or be in the office full-time if that suits you better. It’s a great place to learn, get support from your team, and build confidence in a hands-on, customer-facing role.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Running payrolls from start to finish for a group of clients
• Speaking to customers to gather payroll information and confirm key details
• Inputting data, generating payslips and reports, and arranging payments
• Creating BACS files and handling HMRC submissions
• Answering client queries by phone and email
• Staying organised, meeting deadlines, and keeping accurate records
• Learning the ins and outs of payroll, tax rules, and reporting (with support)
• Supporting your team and growing your confidence in a customer-facing role

What Are We Looking For?

This role is open to early-career starters, career changers, and those with experience in education looking to move into a new role.

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

• Comfortable speaking with people in a professional setting
• Great at staying organised and working to deadlines
• Detail-focused - you like to get things right first time
• Interested in learning new systems and processes
• A team player who’s supportive and keen to develop
• Familiar with basic Word and Excel (you don’t need to be an expert!)

Whether you’re just starting out, returning to work, or switching careers from customer service, admin, teaching support or finance - we’ll give you the tools, training, and encouragement to succeed.

What Can IRIS Offer You?

• Full training and clear progression pathways
• A friendly, inclusive team that will support your development
• Hybrid working – with a minimum of 3 days in our Leeds office
• Option to work in the office full-time if you prefer
• A role where your people skills and attention to detail really matter
• A company that invests in your wellbeing, learning, and future
