Payroll Implementation Consultant

Job Title: Payroll Implementation Consultant

Salary: Up to £40,000

Location: Fully Remote (UK) – Flexible Working Hours

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

We’re partnering with a high-growth payroll and HR technology provider supporting staffing and recruitment agencies across the UK. The business operates in a fast-paced, start-up environment and is scaling quickly, making this a great opportunity for someone early in their implementation career who already has solid hands-on experience and is keen to grow.

This role focuses on end-to-end payroll software implementations, working closely with clients throughout the full lifecycle — from discovery through to go-live. You’ll be client-facing, tech-savvy, and comfortable juggling multiple projects at once.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage multiple payroll implementation projects in parallel, ensuring successful and timely go-lives.
• Own end-to-end delivery including timelines, risks, and stakeholder communication.
• Work closely with clients to gather requirements and translate them into system configurations.
• Support payroll data management, migration, validation, and testing.
• Configure and adapt the platform to meet client-specific requirements while maintaining scalable solutions.
• Build reports and dashboards to support client visibility post-implementation.
• Act as a trusted point of contact for clients, balancing approachability with the confidence to challenge where needed.

Experience & Skills Required:

• Proven end-to-end payroll implementation experience.
• Experience implementing payroll software and strong technical confidence.
• Solid understanding of UK payroll legislation and payroll terminology.
• Experience working with payroll data, including migration and validation.
• Exposure to staffing, recruitment, healthcare, or education payrolls (highly desirable due to complex shift patterns).
• Experience with Salesforce is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong client-facing skills with a consultative, personable approach.
