Who We Are:

At Omaze, we give our community in the UK and Germany the chance to win luxury homes and other life-changing prizes — all while raising money for the causes they love.

Thanks to our Omaze Community, we’ve raised over £100 million for UK charities in just five years. That’s millions helping organisations like Age UK, the RSPCA, British Heart Foundation and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity deliver life-saving work.

And the best part? We’re only just getting started. Omaze is building a business and culture committed to growth and creating significant social impact on a global scale.

🔑 About the Job

We’re looking for a Global Payroll Manager to take ownership of our payroll operations across multiple regions, and has deep expertise directly owning and driving UK payroll. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our people are paid accurately, on time, and in compliance with local regulations — helping us deliver a seamless employee experience.

You’ll be the go-to expert for payroll, partnering closely with our HR Administrator (who currently supports payroll), Finance, and external providers to continuously improve processes, drive efficiencies, and support our growing international footprint.

This role will initially focus primarily on the UK and Europe, but will expand to support US payroll as the business scales.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own and manage the full payroll cycle across key regions, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance

  • Partner closely with our People Team to streamline and evolve current payroll processes

  • Act as the primary point of contact for our global payroll provider (including ADP)

  • Oversee payroll operations in the UK and Europe (including Germany), with future scope to support the US

  • Ensure compliance with local payroll legislation, tax requirements, and reporting obligations

  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, automate processes, and enhance controls

  • Partner with Finance to support reconciliations, reporting, and audits

  • Maintain accurate payroll records and documentation

  • Provide guidance and support to employees on payroll-related queries

  • Contribute to broader People and systems projects, including process improvements and implementations

🙋 About You

  • Proven experience managing payroll across multiple countries

  • Strong knowledge of UK and European payroll (Germany experience highly beneficial)

  • Experience working with ADP or a similar global payroll provider

  • Demonstrated experience creating efficiencies and improving payroll processes in previous roles

  • Strong understanding of payroll compliance, tax, and regulatory requirements

  • Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy and accountability

  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling environment

  • Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement

  • Strong communication skills — able to explain complex payroll topics clearly

  • 🙌 What’s In It For You

  • Generous stock options scheme

  • 25 days annual leave PLUS Bank Holidays

  • Private medical and dental insurance

  • 9% employer pension contributions, when you contribute at least 2%

  • A generous personal learning and development budget each year to use on training courses, conferences and professional memberships

  • Personal equipment budget to work from home

  • Enhanced family leave policies

  • Life assurance of 4x your salary
