About the role

 

Reward & Payroll Specialist | Cumbernauld

4 -Month FTC | Hybrid

 

Are you a payroll expert with experience across reward and benefits?

Or perhaps you’re a Reward specialist with a strong hands-on payroll background?

 

We are delighted to be exclusively supporting our customer, AG Barr, the iconic business behind some of the UK’s favourite drinks. We’re looking for a Reward & Payroll Specialist to provide cover during a period of absence within the team.

This is a hands-on role combining reward and flexible benefits activity with specialist payroll support. You’ll need to be self-sufficient, comfortable working with data and ready to hit the ground running.

What You’ll Do

  • Payroll: Act as the technical point of escalation for the People Co-ordinators, working with the outsourced payroll provider to resolve complex queries, validate outputs and strengthen reconciliations.
  • Reward and Benefits: Support the flexible benefits programme, reward reporting, benefits enrolment and wider reward projects.
  • Compliance: Support P11Ds, National Minimum Wage checks, company car submissions and preparations for PBIK changes.
  • Projects: Contribute to employee share plan activity, the digitisation of Long-Term Incentive Plans and ongoing process improvements.

What We Need

  • Strong practical experience across UK payroll, reconciliations and complex payroll queries.
  • Experience working with an outsourced payroll provider or within a managed payroll service.
  • Previous reward or flexible benefits experience, or a genuine interest in developing further within this area.
  • Confidence working with data using Excel or Google Sheets, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables.
  • A positive, self-sufficient approach and the confidence to question or challenge when something doesn’t look right.

Why AG Barr?

  • You’ll join an ambitious, friendly and collaborative People team where you’ll be trusted to get stuck in, share your knowledge and make an impact quickly.
  • The role offers hybrid working, with three days per week in Cumbernauld and two from home, alongside flexibility around start and finish times.
  • This is an immediate requirement, so we’re particularly keen to hear from applicants who are available now or at short notice.
