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

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 ahead
  • Take ownership of the payroll function
  • Lead the implementation of a new ERP system
  • Contribute directly to building the HR structure in a scaling organization

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • End-to-end payroll management for 200+ 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

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

  • 7+ years of payroll experience in Italy in multi-site environments
  • Fluency in English (Spanish is a plus)
  • Experience managing a high volume of employees
  • Strong knowledge of Italian labor law and CCNL
  • Hands-on experience with variable payroll components
  • Experience with payroll ERP systems (implementation or migration is highly valued)
  • Advanced Excel skills
