Payroll Coordinator - Part Time

Trade Me Role Description

At Trade Me, we're about connecting Kiwi to create the life they want.

Whether it's the big things like finding a home, a job, a car or growing their

business, or the smaller things, like finding that right bedside table or parting

ways with some old stuff. At Trade Me our vision is to be the place where Kiwi

look first.

Every fortnight, Trade Me runs a payroll variance review to ensure all changes are accurate and fully supported before pay is loaded to the bank. This role owns that fortnightly review, approval and payment process, manages twice-monthly PAYE payments, serves as the key link to our outsourced payroll provider and provides flexible support to the wider FinOps team.

Own our fortnightly payroll review, ensure accuracy across all pay updates and manage twice-monthly PAYE payments in this flexible part-time role.

Here is what you can expect from this role

• Complete the fortnightly Payroll Variance Review accurately and on time, covering new starters, leavers, variations and team changes
• Act as the key point of contact between our outsourced payroll provider and People Team
• Load payroll and PAYE payments into the bank, ensuring dual approvals and ownership through to final payment
• Maintain supporting documentation and audit requirements in line with Delegated Financial Authority (DFA)
• Prepare audit reports and other payroll reports promptly on request
• Coordinate quarterly sales commissions with sales leaders against supporting calculations and DFA approvals
• Support the wider FinOps team with flexible finance operations tasks during non-pay weeks

What you will bring to our team

Proven experience in payroll processing, payroll review or a finance operations/accounts role

Understanding and experience applying the Holidays Act 2003 (annual leave, sick leave, final pay entitlements)

High attention to detail, strict confidentiality and strong organisation across fortnightly deadlines

Clear communication skills to liaise comfortably with internal stakeholders and external providers

Proficiency with Google Workspace; experience with MYOB PayGlobal or outsourced payroll providers is an advantage
