At activpayroll, our success is your success. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a truly global service while never compromising on local talent or expertise, and our fantastic teams across the world are unwavering in their commitment to our clients.

With a passion for growth and innovation stemmed from our entrepreneurial roots, we have ambitious plans for the future. We have a stacked pipeline of new business, we keep our eyes on the market for new opportunities and we have the agility and determination to really make things happen. All this means great opportunities for our people, who are at the heart of our enterprise, and fantastic career prospects for those who share our energy and passion!

Tasks

As we venture into the next phase of growth, enabled by technology and one of the most experienced international payroll and expatriate tax teams in the world, we are delighted to be expanding our Germany Operations teams. If you have payroll knowledge and experience, a passion for great client service and would like to be part of a growing international organisation, then this could be the next exciting opportunity for you!

These roles will form part of our committed and driven operational team, who thrive on the excitement of managing a diverse workload, interacting with colleagues and clients across the world, and delivering a best in class service. You’ll be responsible for your own client portfolio, which given that we provide our services to a host of some of the world’s most recognisable brands globally, will be varied and full of its own challenges and opportunities to learn! You’ll manage the end to end payroll processing cycle across the portfolio, building great relationships with your clients, understanding their individual needs and working collaboratively to make sure that their people get paid on time, every time.

Every day is different, but the core deliverables of our team are:

• Processing of German payroll accounting for a diverse range of clients of various headcounts and industry types
• Acting as the contact person for health insurance companies, regulatory authorities, certification and reporting
• Continuous further development of processes and participation in specialist projects

Requirements

Technical knowledge is of course important, and we are looking for candidates who have practical experience in German payroll processing and great knowledge of regulatory requirements within payroll. If you have worked in a bureau environment before, that would certainly be advantageous, and as an international multi-site company with a global footprint, good English language skills are also needed in order to deliver across such a diverse role. We offer and actively promote our colleagues to take up our English coaching classes to support with this, and to support our team’s development.

• Self-motivated with a passion for payroll and service delivery
• Ready to take on a diverse and varied workload, challenging yourself to deliver great service and ensure that we keep ourselves and our clients compliant
