At IRIS Software Group, we help thousands of businesses, schools, and accountancy firms run more efficiently every day. One of the ways we do this is through our Managed Payroll Services team - delivering accurate, reliable payroll for clients so they can focus on their people.
We’re now looking for experienced Client Payroll Executives to join our growing team in Leeds. If you’ve run payrolls from start to finish and enjoy building strong relationships with clients, this is a great opportunity to join a fast-paced, supportive environment where your experience will be valued.
You’ll be based in our Leeds city centre office (LS1 2AY) at least three days a week, with the option to work remotely on the other days. This setup gives you the structure to collaborate with your team in person, while still offering flexibility where it matters.

??

• Managing the end-to-end payroll process for a portfolio of commercial or education clients
• Acting as the key point of contact for your clients – gathering data, confirming deadlines, and handling queries
• Processing starters, leavers, statutory payments, pensions, and year-end tasks
• Producing BACS files, submitting RTI returns, and ensuring compliance with current legislation
• Explaining payroll changes or regulations clearly to clients, using your expertise to support them
• Troubleshooting issues quickly and professionally, always keeping clients informed
• Sharing knowledge with the team and helping support junior colleagues when needed

??

• Experience running payrolls in either a bureau or fast-paced in-house environment
• A good understanding of UK payroll legislation, including RTI and auto-enrolment
• Confidence managing multiple payrolls and meeting tight deadlines
• Strong communication skills – both written and verbal - with a customer-first mindset
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
• Comfortable using payroll software and MS Excel
• Desirable: CIPP Diploma (Level 3 or 5), or a relevant payroll qualification

??

• A hybrid working model - with a minimum of 3 days a week in our Leeds office, and remote working the rest of the week
• A friendly and experienced team that shares knowledge and supports one another
• Clear career progression into more senior, technical, or leadership roles
• Ongoing training, optional CIPP membership, and study support if you’d like to pursue further qualifications
• A full range of employee benefits – including wellbeing support, income protection, and financial perks
• The chance to do meaningful work - helping clients stay compliant and ensuring their teams are paid accurately and on time

??
We’ve designed a supportive and inclusive process to help you shine:
?1?? Apply Online
Send us your CV and a short application - we’re keen to hear why you’re interested in HR and what excites you about joining IRIS.
2?? Initial Interview (plus Online Assessments)

A friendly chat with our Talent team and two short assessments (CCAT + EPP).

• The CCAT is a quick 15-minute timed test - best completed somewhere quiet with a pen and paper.
• The EPP is untimed, giving you space to work through it comfortably.

3?? Group Assessment Day
Join us at our Leeds office (LS1 2AY) for an interactive, in-person session with other candidates (date to be confirmed). You’ll take part in team-based activities, meet our team, and get a real feel for our culture.
