Payroll Officer

united kingdom

At Sweaty Betty, we’re more than just a global activewear and lifestyle brand for women.

We’re also a community that believes fitness is a flip-the-switch trigger for becoming the woman you want to be. Leggings and sports bras won’t change the world on their own. But with a grab-my-hand, let’s-go-for-it-now spirit, the women who wear them can.

As a Payroll Officer joining the SB team, you will be the first point of contact for Payroll and Pension queries. Partnering with the wider Finance and People team, you will play a key role in ensuring that the expectations of our teams across Retail Stores, Customer Care and Support Office are always met when it comes to all manner of queries. You will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual, ready to roll up your sleeves and support in the running of the full payroll cycle, never afraid to suggest new ways of doing things to make the process super slick!

The role can be offered as a hybrid (​Kings Place, ​90 York Way, ​London

​N1 9AG) or remote

∙ We Really Care ∙ First, Best, Bravest ∙ Our Strength is in Each Other ∙ Stand Up, Speak Up, Shout Out

Our D&I Commitment

We are working to create a culture and team that represents our empowerment mission. We want to celebrate our diversity, embody inclusion and create an equitable business. This means doing more and working harder to make the long-lasting changes necessary. We care about our people, our community and our world.

We want to stand up for what we believe in and give our people a platform to use their voices. To actively listen and learn from what they have to say. This involves focusing on learning, development and progression across the business and being clear on the responsibilities we hold to each other and to our community. It also means being committed to equal employment opportunities. Ensuring we consider ALL applicants for jobs and working harder to make our job advertising more inclusive.

Our DEI mission is "to embed diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of our business. To create a culture of belonging that empowers everyone to be their best authentic self. We commit to celebrating different perspectives and to continuously learning, developing and challenging ourselves and our partners."

We know we’re on a journey. And far from perfect. But we want to be a part of the solution to the problem. It might not be comfortable or straightforward. But if we weren’t up for doing the hard work and breaking the mould, we wouldn’t be Sweaty Betty. We are committed to working across our business and with our DEI Committee & DEI Collective to be champions, allies and inclusive, always. Because when we say all, we mean it.
