THE ROLE

Reporting to Finance and working closely with HR and operational leaders, you will be accountable for payroll accuracy, statutory compliance, and governance across the business.

You will operate in a complex, multi-site environment requiring sound judgement, strong systems thinking, and the confidence to challenge when something doesn’t look right.

THE ROLE

• End-to-end payroll processing across the organisation

• BAS, PAYG, superannuation and ATO compliance

• Oversight of Time & Attendance processes

• Workers’ compensation wage declarations

• Payroll master data, controls, and approvals

• Audit-ready records and compliance documentation

• Continuous improvement of payroll systems and processes

ABOUT YOU

• Proven experience managing end-to-end payroll in a medium to large organisation

• Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, superannuation and ATO requirements

• Experience with BAS, PAYG and statutory submissions

• Experience in multi-site or operational environments

• Strong Excel, payroll system and HRIS capability

• Able to interpret awards and employment contracts

• Comfortable owning outcomes and holding the line on compliance

WHY JOIN LASERBOND

This is a role for a senior payroll professional who wants genuine ownership, not constant oversight.

You will have clear accountability, the authority to set standards, and the backing of Finance and HR to run the payroll function properly — in a stable, growing Australian business where compliance matters and good work is recognised.

LaserBond offers a supportive and inclusive working environment, along with a competitive salary and benefits, including an employee share scheme.
