Adairs & The Opportunity

Adairs is on an exciting journey to become Australia’s Ultimate Home Style Destination, and this is the perfect time to join us as we grow. For over 100 years, we’ve helped Australians create homes that are stylish, functional, and uniquely theirs. Be part of a supportive payroll team reporting to the Payroll Manager, where you’ll own payroll for dedicated business units while working closely with others to deliver a seamless end-to-end function. This role suits a Payroll Officer who thrives in a high-volume environment and enjoys full ownership of a fast-paced pay cycle.

How you will spend your day

• Take complete ownership of the fortnightly Australian retail payroll
• Validate, reconcile and process high-volume data from multiple sources
• Ensure compliance with legislation, awards and internal controls
• Be the primary contact for payroll queries across the retail network
• Investigate discrepancies, analyse data, and resolve issues quickly
• Work with UKG (T&A) and HR3 (processing) to ensure clean, accurate inputs
• Maintain strong checks and balances across the entire payroll workflow
• Support process improvements and question the status quo to drive efficiency
  
  

About You

• Experienced in end-to-end, high-volume payroll processing
• Comfortable owning a pay run from start to finish
• Exceptional attention to detail - accuracy matters to you
• Confident interpreting awards and applying them correctly
• Data-savvy with strong Excel skills (including XLOOKUPs, pivot tables, formulas)
• Curious and proactive - you ask why and look for better ways of working
• Outstanding customer service skills and a calm, helpful approach
• Experience with UKG is highly regarded; HR3 experience is a bonus, not essential

Retail or FMCG experience will serve you well. There is an occasional requirement to work public holidays to meet payroll delivery timelines.
