Payroll Manager

Job Description:

We are looking for a hands-on and highly operational Payroll Manager to take full ownership of payroll and personnel administration in Italy.

This is not a purely managerial or strategic position. The role requires a senior payroll specialist mindset — someone who enjoys the day-to-day detail, understands operational complexity, and is ready to assume full responsibility while building processes in a hands-on, growing environment.



WHY JOIN:
- Join a multinational company with strong growth ambitions in Italy
- Be part of a high-expansion phase with multiple openings planned this year
- Take ownership of the payroll function, working closely with the HQ in Madrid
- Lead the implementation of a new ERP system
- Contribute directly to building the HR structure in a scaling organization
- Variable salary: 15%

Responsibilities:

- End-to-end payroll management for 400+ employees (and growing)
- Manual review and validation of payroll data
- Reconciliation of variable components (night shifts, overtime, bonuses, etc.)
- Coordination with external labor consultants
- Implementation and parameterization of payroll ERP
- Development and structuring of payroll processes
- Ensure full compliance with Italian labor legislation and CCNL

Requirements:

- 5–7+ years of payroll experience in Italy
- Fluency in English or Spanish, as you will be working with the HQ in Madrid
- Experience managing 200+ employees payroll
- Strong knowledge of Italian labor law and CCNL
- Experience in multi-site environments
- Hands-on experience with variable payroll components
- Experience with payroll ERP systems (implementation or migration is highly valued)
- Advanced Excel skills

Company Description:

Our client is an international company operating in the retail sector, currently undergoing strong expansion in Italy.
