Senior Payroll Specialist

Payroll at Helsing is not a back-office function — it is a foundation of trust. As a Senior Payroll Specialist, you will own the preparation and delivery of accurate, compliant payroll data across our international entities, with a particular focus on the DACH region. At Helsing, payroll is processed in partnership with an external tax adviser (Steuerberater); your role is to ensure that everything upstream of that process is precise, complete, and delivered on time. Working closely with the Payroll Team Lead, HR, and Finance, you will ensure our payroll infrastructure scales with us as we grow. This is a role with genuine scope: you will lead on statutory compliance, act as the primary escalation point for complex payroll matters, drive process improvement through automation and HRIS integration, and support the development of junior colleagues. The work is detailed, consequential, and sits at the intersection of people, finance, and operations.
