Payroll & HR Admin Specialist

Job Description & Summary

Ready to kick-start your career where payroll meets AI?

At PwC, we're not just processing payroll. We're reimagining it. If you're curious about how Artificial Intelligence can transform traditional processes, excited about smart automation, and eager to grow in an environment where innovation is the norm, not the exception, this is your opportunity.

We are looking for an Payroll & HR Admin Specialist to join our Workforce - Payroll & HR Administration team in Bucharest. We need someone with 1 to 2 years of experience, a solid foundation, and most importantly, a mindset wired for the future.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't your typical payroll job. Yes, you'll master the fundamentals: legislation, tax, calculations. But here, you'll also learn to think like a technologist. You'll explore how AI can automate what used to take hours, how data can drive smarter decisions, and how your payroll knowledge can become the engine behind intelligent, scalable solutions.

What We Are Looking For

Payroll & Technical Foundation

• 1 to 2 years of experience in payroll, HR, or a related field.
• University degree in Economics, Finance, Human Resources, or a related field.
• Basic understanding of Romanian labour legislation and tax regulations.
• Good proficiency in Excel, including formulas, data analysis, and reporting.

Technology & AI: This Is What Sets You Apart

• A natural curiosity for technology, AI tools, and digital solutions. You don't need to be an expert yet, but you should be genuinely excited about the possibilities.
• Eagerness to learn and experiment with new tools, from payroll software to automation platforms and AI-assisted solutions.
• The ability to think beyond the manual process. If you've ever looked at a repetitive task and thought "there must be a smarter way to do this", you're exactly who we're looking for.

Communication & Teamwork

• Good English language communication skills, both written and verbal.
• A collaborative, team-oriented attitude with proactivity and initiative.

What You Will Learn & Do

• Master the end-to-end payroll process, from input data to salary calculations, payroll reports, and tax return submissions.
• Gain hands-on experience with multiple payroll platforms and learn to adapt quickly between systems.
• Deepen your knowledge of Romanian labour legislation and tax regulations.
• Support the preparation of HR administration documents and employee records in ReGES Online.
• Get real, hands-on exposure to AI tools and automation in payroll and actively participate in digitalization initiatives that are shaping the future of our services.
• Develop client communication skills and learn to manage priorities in a professional services environment.

We Offer

• Learn & Grow: Comprehensive training, hands-on mentoring, and a clear career path, from Junior to Senior and beyond.
• Future-Ready Skills: Work with AI, automation, and digital tools from day one, building skills that will set you apart in the market.
• Impact: Contribute to real projects and make a tangible difference from the start.
• Regional Exposure: As you grow, opportunities to collaborate with PwC teams across multiple countries.
• Work-Life Balance: Hybrid working policy and flexible hours.
• Extra Perks: Office massages, medical centre membership, and partner discounts.

We are committed to building a diverse and welcoming/ safe environment, so we’re excited to receive applications from people of all cultures and backgrounds.

We appreciate the interest shown by all candidates. However, we wish to advise that only suitable candidates will be contacted.
