Senior Payroll Consultant

At ING Australia, we're dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity and innovation, with the support and resources you need to succeed.  Join us today and take the first step towards building a career as exceptional as you are.

We’re seeking a proactive and experienced Senior Payroll Consultant to join our lean, high-performing HR team in Sydney.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be responsible for delivering end-to-end payroll for over 2,000 employees, managing complex queries, and driving continuous improvement in our payroll operations.

In this role, you’ll be part of a small, collaborative team where every member plays a critical role. On any given day, you’ll be processing fortnightly pay runs, reconciling superannuation and leave liabilities, liaising with our payroll vendor (ADP), and ensuring compliance with evolving legislation. You’ll also play a key role in identifying inefficiencies, implementing smarter processes, and supporting reporting and audits.

Our ideal candidate will be someone with a “can-do” attitude who can confidently juggle competing priorities, come from a highly regulated industry, respond to urgent tasks with calm efficiency, and bring a sharp focus to accuracy and improvement.

What you’ll do

• Process fortnightly and off-cycle payroll
• Reconcile super, PAYG, leave, and overpayments
• Resolve payroll queries and support audits
• Align data between HRIS and Payroll systems
• Handle terminations, leave, and reporting
• Improve payroll processes and ensure compliance
• Support international payroll and partner with HR/Central People Services

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years’ payroll experience in regulated environments
• Proven payroll systems and compliance knowledge
• Advanced Excel; ADP and Workday preferred
• Skilled in process improvement and stakeholder management
• Detail-oriented, analytical, and adaptable

What’s in it for you?

• Discounted ING Salary Continuance Insurance
• An additional Rest Day to support your wellbeing
• An IMPACT day to volunteer on approved sustainability activity
