German Payroll Specialist (x5)
Remote, Germany | Up to €60,000 + Benefits
Help shape the future of German payroll.
We’re partnering with an international organisation that’s investing heavily in the growth and transformation of its German payroll operation.
Following continued business growth, organisational change and an exciting pipeline of new client wins, we’re looking to appoint five experienced German Payroll Specialists to join a collaborative, high-performing team.
This is more than a payroll processing role. You’ll play a key part in strengthening an established function, supporting future growth and contributing to the evolution of the payroll service as the business embarks on the implementation of a new payroll platform.
If you’re passionate about delivering exceptional payroll services and enjoy working in a modern, remote-first environment, we’d love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
You’ll be responsible for managing end-to-end German payroll operations while delivering an outstanding service to both internal stakeholders and external clients.
Working within an experienced payroll team, you’ll help ensure payroll accuracy, legislative compliance and an excellent customer experience as the business continues to grow across Germany.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation where your expertise will make an immediate impact and where you’ll play an important role in the next phase of the payroll team’s development.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage end-to-end German payroll processing.
- Ensure compliance with all German payroll legislation and statutory requirements.
- Deliver an exceptional customer experience to clients and stakeholders.
- Resolve payroll queries accurately and efficiently.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across Germany and the wider international business.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives across payroll operations.
- Contribute to payroll transformation projects, including the implementation of a new payroll platform.
About You
We’re looking for experienced payroll professionals who can hit the ground running.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Proven end-to-end German payroll experience.
- Strong knowledge of German payroll legislation and compliance.
- Experience managing multiple payrolls or supporting a portfolio of clients.
- Excellent stakeholder and customer relationship skills.
- Fluent German and business-level English.
- The ability to work independently within a remote and collaborative environment.
- A proactive approach with excellent attention to detail.
Payroll Systems
Experience with ADDISON Payroll (Wolters Kluwer) would be highly advantageous.
However, candidates with strong German payroll experience gained using other enterprise payroll platforms (such as DATEV, SAP Payroll, ADP, SD Worx, Sage, P&I LOGA, Oracle, Workday or similar) are strongly encouraged to apply.
The business is investing in the future of its payroll technology, so experience supporting payroll transformation or system implementations would be an added advantage.
What’s on Offer
- Salary up to €60,000, depending on experience.
- Fully remote working anywhere in Germany.
- 28 days’ annual leave.
- Company pension scheme.
- Life insurance.
- Disability insurance.
- Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) share scheme.
- The opportunity to join a growing international organisation investing in both its people and technology.
- Long-term career development and progression.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to become part of a business that’s committed to building one of the strongest German payroll teams in the market.
You’ll join a supportive, collaborative environment where your expertise is genuinely valued, your ideas are welcomed, and you’ll have the chance to influence the future direction of the payroll function while working with colleagues who are passionate about delivering exceptional service.
If you’re looking for your next challenge in German payroll and want to be part of an exciting period of growth and transformation, we’d love to hear from you.
