The role 

This is a newly created role where the responsibilities for Payroll across the Wayve group will be centralised to an experienced payroll professional. The group is expanding geographically, working with new payroll providers, and significantly growing its number of employees. All these changes mean that the payroll area is at the right time in its development to be shaped by the person in this role. 

Key responsibilities:

  • Compilation of the payrolls for all countries in which Wayve operates
  • Responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all variable pay components (Master Data is the responsibility of the People Team)
  • Implementing and maintaining processes and controls to ensure the payroll is accurate
  • Managing the relationship with the payroll providers
  • Ensure we meet the payroll reporting requirements in each of our payroll jurisdictions
  • Reconciliations of pensions and health care contributions monthly between our payroll records and the service providers
  • Analytical review of payroll spend on a monthly basis for inclusion in management reporting
About you  

In order to set you up for success as a Senior Payroll Specialist at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.  

Essential 

  • 5+ years of payroll experience
  • Previous multi-country payroll experience
  • Attention to detail
  • Passion for processes and controls
  • Ability to work in a fast paced, changeable environment

Desirable 

  • Experience with starting a payroll in a new geography from scratch
  • Experience with analytical review of the Payroll outputs
  • Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) qualification 

This is a full-time role based in our office in London.  At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.   


We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.
