Kontrakttype: Fuld tid
Are you ready to elevate payroll beyond compliance and accuracy – and turn it into a driver for efficiency, professionalism and business-impact? EG is a fast-growing software company looking for a strong leader to head our European payroll operations.
As our new Senior Manager for Payroll, you will ensure high-quality payroll services across countries while leading ongoing improvements, automation, and standardization efforts. You are curious about new technologies – including AI – and how they can help us work smarter, faster, and more professionally. You take pride in building robust processes, but you’re just as excited about optimizing and future-proofing them. The position is based in Ballerup.
EG is growing rapidly, both organically and through acquisitions, creating a dynamic environment with exciting professional challenges. Payroll is part of our Group Finance function, primarily located in Denmark and India, consisting of approx. 150 dedicated colleagues working closely across countries and teams. The tone is informal, the collaboration strong, and the responsibility shared.
If you are passionate about people, processes, and progress – and want to shape the payroll of tomorrow – this is your opportunity.
The role
As Senior Manager for Payroll, you will lead our Nordic payroll team of 7 employees and drive the continued development of EG’s European payroll operations. Your key responsibilities include ensuring timely and accurate monthly salary payouts, delivering financial insights to stakeholders, and enabling scalability through streamlined processes and strong governance.
The payroll team handles payroll for approx. 2000 employees and is distributed across the Nordic countries and is an integrated part of our Finance organization. You will take ownership of fostering a strong team spirit and collaboration across locations, while ensuring that the team’s skills and capabilities are aligned with current and future business needs.
You will play a pivotal role in shaping the payroll agenda – working closely with stakeholders such as HR, Group Controlling, and our Nordic outsourcing partner – and use your expertise to promote best practices, automation, and continuous improvement.
At EG, you will step into a dynamic, fast-paced environment where transformation, leadership, and strategic execution go hand in hand.
Your profile
We imagine that you bring a strong mix of structure, business understanding, and a passion for making processes better. To succeed in this role, you may come from a background where you've led and scaled a payroll function, or you may have gained deep expertise through a consulting or advisory role, working with payroll setups across organisations.
What matters most is that you bring solid knowledge of payroll, operational efficiency, and an ability to translate insight into strategic impact in a growing and acquisitive company.
We believe the right candidate will bring many of the following qualifications:
