Melbourne, Österreich Fonterra Vollzeit

Position Description

A World of Opportunity Awaits

We are Fonterra, one of the world's largest dairy nutrition companies. Here in Australia, we collect milk from Aussie Farmers across Victoria and Tasmania, and our manufacturing sites turn this into the dairy foods you know and love in our supermarkets, including Perfect Italiano, Mainland, Western Star, and Bega. We also sell dairy ingredients to many of the world's leading food companies and partner with food services businesses across the country to get dairy foods into chefs' hands.

As a Co-operative created and owned by New Zealand dairy farmers, our collaboration, innovation, and passion have enabled us to share the goodness of our dairy with the world. We're committed to caring for the land, our animals, and every drop of milk, producing nutritious food with safe, quality ingredients loved here in Australia and around the world.

As part of the Fonterra Co-op, you'll be solving for a better future alongside a team connected by solid values as we strive to be a leader in dairy sustainability, dairy innovation and science, with a focus on New Zealand milk.

When you join Fonterra, you'll open yourself to a career of opportunities where you can grow with us by developing your skills, sharing your knowledge, and exploring diverse career paths that ignite your passions.

About the Opportunity

We are looking to engage an experienced Payroll Manager for our Australian-based operations. This is an amazing opportunity for a highly skilled leader to establish a new, Australian-based Payroll team, including the recruitment of a new team, setting up roles and responsibilities, team purpose, culture, and ways of working.

A true leadership role, the Payroll Manager will set the direction for the function, leads service delivery standards, and builds current and future capability.

As the Payroll Manager, you will partner with the business providing critical, timely and accurate payroll services across our Australian regions to support our people. This includes the day-to-day management of employment lifecycle events, payment calculations and reporting, through to highly specialised, often complex technical delivery of legislative and contractual changes to ensure compliance with employment laws and policy.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Motivating others to meet and exceed agreed service level agreements.
  • Continuously improving the payroll, time and attendance systems and processes to remove unnecessary complexity and increase efficiencies.
  • Strong leadership and development of Payroll team members, at differing levels of expertise and experience.
  • Build and maintain effective, positive working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.


This role will provide the successful applicant with a career-defining challenge to uplift team capability and win the trust of stakeholders within a complex and high-performing, profitable business.

Based at our Richmond office (free parking) this role will see you operating within a hybrid work model, with work-from-home (WFH) flexibility.

About You

You are an experienced Payroll Manager, with a strong understanding of Australian payroll processes and can translate those to your team.

You will be a supportive people leader and have a keen focus on customer needs and creating and delivering viable solutions that work for your customers. You also possess strong communication and interpersonal skills and can build effective relationships with stakeholders.

We are looking for experience in managing a large, complex, and multi-layered payroll department, coming from a business with both a white- and blue-collar workforce. Your expertise in navigating multiple agreements and legislative changes will see you excel in this position.

You will also have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or Finance related discipline preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience with developing and maintaining strategic relationships with senior leaders.
  • Extensive payroll leadership experience essential, with minimum 7 years' experience in Australian payroll.
  • Experience operating in payroll within an EBA environment.
  • Detailed technical knowledge of the HR / Payroll end-to-end process.


The benefits of life at Fonterra

Our people and what they bring to our Co-op shape our success. We have a collaborative culture, inspiring leaders, and passionate people, making Fonterra a great place to work. We also offer competitive remuneration and a range of benefits, regardless of your role or location.

  • We offer flexible working to ensure the job gets done whilst being there for life's important moments.
  • With a global presence, a world of career opportunities awaits you.
  • We support your health and wellbeing with events, discounts on wellbeing products, and employee assistance programs.
  • We encourage lifelong learning and will help you develop your skills.
  • Enjoy discounted health insurance based on your employment type and location.
  • No matter your life stage or choices, we have leave options, including purchasing additional leave, enhanced parental benefits, and long-service leave.


Our story

We are proud to be Fonterra, with a business enabled by everyday people doing good things together. Being part of Fonterra means being part of a unique history, realising the potential of dairy for generations to come, and solving for a better future together. Our Co-operative spirit guides us with a common purpose: caring for all our people and the land to solve for better together. We provide excellent career development opportunities, benefits, flexibility, and balance to suit everyone's lifestyles and choices.

Fonterra is a place where everyone can be themselves, feel empowered to do their best, and are empowered to create goodness for generations.
