This team is responsible for the compliant processing of payments to all University staff, statutory bodies and pension schemes, along with several related organisations. You will lead and develop the team, in addition you will need to build positive relationships across the University.  You will have responsibility for the development of improved processes and functionality supporting the HR and Payroll function.
