Kickstart your career in payroll with a growing Waterford-based business.

We're working with a small but ambitious company based in Waterford, providing outsourced payroll services to a growing list of clients nationwide. Due to continued growth, they're looking to add a Payroll Processor / Administrator to the team — someone organised, eager to learn, and ready to play a vital role in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.


The Role

As Payroll Administrator, you’ll support the delivery of payroll services for multiple clients across different industries. Working closely with a senior payroll specialist, you'll be involved in gathering payroll inputs, processing data, and ensuring accurate records and returns.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build a strong foundation in payroll while working in a supportive and fast-paced environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Input and maintain employee data (e.g. starters/leavers, hours worked, deductions).

  • Help ensure accurate and timely Revenue submissions (RTS/PAYE Modernisation).

  • Prepare payslips, reports, and basic reconciliations.

  • Answer routine payroll queries from clients and employees.

  • Keep up to date with payroll deadlines and help ensure compliance with Irish legislation.

  • Provide general administrative support to the payroll function.


What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years’ experience in an admin, finance, or payroll support role (payroll experience a bonus).

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work with numbers.

  • Comfortable with Excel and confident using business systems.

  • Good communication skills and a team-player attitude.

  • Willingness to learn and develop in a busy professional services environment.

  • IPASS training or interest in pursuing IPASS is a plus.


What You’ll Get

  • Hands-on training and mentorship from experienced payroll professionals.

  • Exposure to a wide variety of clients and payroll processes.

  • Friendly team environment with opportunities to grow as the company scales.
