Senior Payroll Administrator

Job Description

Who are we?

Ki is the biggest global insurance tech company you’ve never heard of, unless you’ve been looking to insure a satellite, wind farm or music festival recently.

Having written over $877m in gross written premium in 2023, we’ve achieved significant growth since our beginnings in 2021. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. There are hardly any industries left that are mainly paper based, but the specialty insurance market is one. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helps insurance brokers place risk in a fast and frictionless way. We’re continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities.

Purpose of the Role

As Senior Payroll Administrator, you will hold responsibility for ensuring all employees are paid accurately and on time in line with defined internal deadline, and in compliance with regulative bodies and internal departments. Additionally, you will administer Ki’s employee benefits ensuring accuracy across this process. You will work closely with the Rewards, Wellbeing and Benefits Lead as well as the finance and wider HR department to ensure the payroll process runs smoothly.

You will be responsible for ensuring all data is approved and audit resilient, as well as liaising with finance to ensure that the control accounts are reconciled on a monthly basis. You will run weekly starter, leaver and mover reports confirming all changes to ensure accuracy across the payroll. As part of the role, you will work to build excellent working relationships with both third-party providers and internal stakeholders.

Ideally, you will have a thorough understanding of the relevant payroll related statutory PAYE and NIC legislation including principles of best practice. Proven experience in running a payroll in a stand-alone role will be highly advantageous, along with prior experience working in a complex, regulatory environment.

Our culture

Inclusion & Diversity is at the heart of our business at Ki. We recognise that diversity in age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, thought and social background bring richness to our working environment. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, or who you love, we believe you should be you.

You’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.

If this sounds like a role and a culture that appeals to you, let us know.
