Latitude Financial Services is currently implementing a partially outsourced Payroll model where payroll services will be managed in collaboration with external vendor Frontier Software.

This role will act as the key liaison between Latitude and external vendors to ensure payroll services are delivered seamlessly. You will also oversee internal payroll activities, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and timely delivery.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and embed the partially outsourced payroll model while identifying opportunities for further efficiencies.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve payroll queries promptly, ensuring an excellent employee experience.
  • Develop and implement frameworks, policies, tools, processes, and reporting to enhance payroll efficiency.
  • Support payroll-related projects, such as new incentive schemes, ensuring seamless integration, testing, and execution with vendors.
  • Provide payroll advice to business stakeholders, including People Partners, to aid decision-making.
  • Ensure data accuracy and compliance in HRIS systems (Workday, Chris21) while supporting integrations across HR platforms.
  • Deliver timely reports, analytics, and insights to support business needs.
  • Manage regulatory reporting and payroll compliance across all relevant regions.

What we’re looking for:

Experience & Knowledge:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Business, Commerce, Law, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong knowledge of Australian and New Zealand payroll legislation and regulations.
  • Experience managing or overseeing outsourced payroll models.
  • Proficiency in MS Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP, charts).
  • Strong experience in HRIS platforms such as Workday, Chris21, or equivalent.
  • Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to deliver clear insights from data.
  • Strong stakeholder management, collaboration, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and maintain attention to detail.
  • Execution-focused mindset with a proactive, solution-oriented approach.

What We Do

Everyone has aspirations, and a goal that needs financing. However, sometimes dealing with money can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed.

As Australia’s biggest non-bank lender, we want to change that. And we will.

Latitude is an independent digital payments and finance company backed by decades of experience that combines start-up thinking with industry smarts.

We believe in transparency over transactions, and lending to all Australians. But the biggest difference is that we want to partner with our customers.

We’re the kind of people that commit to helping our customers shop and live better by championing good money habits. We want our customers to get that new car. Update their bathroom. Grow their business. Or, take the kids overseas for the first time and feel good about it.

With over 2.4 million customers, Latitude believes in helping people from all walks of life prosper.

So, let's work together; let's make great things happen.

Latitude. Partners in money.
