Payroll Specialist

UK Payroll Specialist (In-House) | Build It. Own It. Lead It.
Company: GCO Partners (in collaboration with a UK-based client)
Location: Johannesburg (Hybrid)
Contract Type: Annual Renewable Contract
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a maintenance payroll role.

Full end-to-end UK payroll ownership for 100–150 temporary workers
Managing and processing weekly timesheets accurately and on time

Payroll reconciliations, reporting, and ...
