Description

KatKin's Opportunity Cats are undeniably champions of the Internet. They're cute, hilarious, and can be jerks, so honestly what's not to love? But, while they've been getting the recognition they deserve online, they've been left by the wayside in the pet food industry, with legacy FMCG companies opting to offer variations of food for them rather than providing food formulated for their dietary needs – did you know they're obligate carnivores, so a high meat diet is a biological necessity? Enter KatKin. What we do at KatKin Why You’ll Love Working With Us The Role As our Payroll & People Administrator, you'll be the person who keeps the day-to-day running smoothly. You'll maintain accurate records, support payroll processing, manage our time and attendance systems, ensure documentation is up to date, and provide general administrative support across the site. You'll also help bring the team together, organising events and initiatives that keep morale high.

Highly organised and detail-oriented, ensuring HR processes run smoothly with accuracy and efficiency. A problem-solver who handles challenges with a logical and fair approach, making sound decisions in sensitive situations. Discreet and trustworthy, maintaining confidentiality and handling sensitive employee information with professionalism. Adaptable and flexible, able to navigate a fast-paced environment and respond to changing HR needs. A supportive team player, assisting with employee relations, training coordination, and performance management. Tech-savvy, with a strong grasp of Google Suite tools (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar) and HR systems to manage data and generate reports efficiently.
