The Job in Short
As a Senior Payroll Specialist, you will own the accurate, timely, and compliant delivery of payroll across the Netherlands, UK, and Spain. You’ll be a subject-matter expert and trusted advisor to employees, HR, Finance, Payroll Vendors and other stakeholders, helping us navigate complex payroll questions, legislation, and employee inquiries.
But this role is about more than simply running payroll.
Backbase is a fast-moving, scrappy environment. We don’t always have perfect processes, clean data, or a neatly documented answer waiting for you. You’ll need to be a self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity, can dig into messy processes, identify what isn’t working, and figure out how to make it better.
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just say
“that’s how we’ve always done it.”
You’ll challenge inefficient ways of working, simplify processes, eliminate manual work, and look for opportunities to automate, use AI, or improve our systems and data. You’ll have the autonomy to investigate problems, bring stakeholders together, and drive solutions through to completion.
Alongside your hands-on payroll responsibilities, you’ll act as a advisor on payroll, tax, benefits, and employment-related matters, proactively identifying risks and helping the wider HR organization understand and navigate payroll requirements.
We care as much about how you approach problems as your technical payroll expertise.
You’re a self-starter.
You don’t wait for someone to give you a perfectly defined task or solution.
You thrive in ambiguity.
You can make progress even when information is incomplete, processes are unclear, or ownership is fragmented.
You’re a problem solver.
When something doesn’t work, you investigate the root cause and figure out how to fix it.
You think automation-first.
You actively look for opportunities to automate repetitive work, improve integrations, leverage AI, and reduce manual effort.
You take ownership.
You follow problems through to resolution rather than passing them from team to team.
You’re commercially minded.
You understand that payroll needs to be compliant and controlled, but also practical, efficient, and scalable.
