Payroll Partner (Fixed Term - 1 year) | People Team:
Milano
Team description:
SumUp's People Operations team keeps our people experience running smoothly across Europe — and payroll sits right at the heart of that. As we grow rapidly across Southern Europe, we're looking for a Payroll Partner to join us on a one-year fixed-term contract, taking full ownership of the payroll cycle for Spain and Italy. This is a solid next step for someone with a few years of payroll experience who's ready to go beyond the basics — driving real process improvements, working across two markets, and contributing to a People team that's building smarter, more efficient ways of working.
What you'll do:
- Own the end-to-end payroll cycle for Spain and Italy, ensuring accuracy and compliance with local laws and regulations
- Spot and implement opportunities for automation and process improvement, using tools like Workday and Payslip to reduce manual effort and sharpen payroll quality
- Handle employee payroll queries through our ticketing system, resolving issues with care and efficiency
- Collaborate with People Operations, Compensation and Benefits, and Accounting to keep payroll data accurate and up to date
- Support the regional payroll lead in managing relationships with external providers, including health insurers and pension providers
- Review and update country-level payroll policies and procedures as the business evolves
What we're looking for:
- Hands-on payroll experience covering the full cycle, with familiarity processing payroll in Spain or Italy.
- Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and VLOOKUPs, and a natural comfort with data accuracy and attention to detail.
- Experience working cross-functionally and communicating clearly with different teams and stakeholders.
- A proactive approach to process improvement, with an interest in automation tools and finding smarter ways to work.
- Fluency in English plus Spanish or Italian.
