Portfolio are partnering with a leading HR & Payroll technology business to recruit a Senior Payroll Advisor into their growing specialist Payroll Advisory team. This isn't a traditional payroll role. This is an opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to become the go-to escalation expert for complex payroll and software-related issues, supporting clients who rely on best-in-class payroll technology to keep their businesses running smoothly.
