Interim Payroll Consultant

Initial 3-Month Contract | Fully Remote (Occasional London Travel)

LHH Recruitment Solutions are currently looking to speak with Senior Interim Payroll Consultants to support a global client on a strategic review and audit of their UK payroll function.

This is not a hands-on payroll processing role. Instead, the focus is on evaluating and strengthening existing payroll operations, controls, and governance.

• Review and assess current UK payroll processes and frameworks
• Identify gaps, risks, inefficiencies, and compliance issues
• Evaluate controls, documentation, and governance structures
• Provide clear, practical recommendations to improve and future-proof the UK payroll function
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to present findings and proposed improvements

• Proven experience as a Senior Payroll Consultant or Interim Payroll Specialist
• Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation, compliance, and best practice
• Experience conducting payroll reviews, audits, or transformation projects
• Ability to work independently and deliver clear, structured recommendations
• Comfortable operating in a global or complex organisational environment
• Initial 3-month contract (with potential extension)
• Fully remote, with occasional travel to London
• Competitive daily rate (dependent on experience)

If you’re an experienced payroll professional who enjoys advisory and review-based work rather than day-to-day processing, this is an excellent opportunity to add real strategic value.
