Senior Payroll Officer
Easygo · Belgrade
Easygo is the Australian technology powerhouse behind global brands Stake, KICK, and Easygo Gaming. As we continue to grow our presence in Serbia, we’re strengthening our local People & Culture operations and looking for an experienced Senior Payroll Officer to join us in Belgrade.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of payroll operations for our Serbian entities, Easygo Tech Europe and MB Care, supporting 200+ employees while working closely with our local People & Culture and Finance teams, as well as our global team in Melbourne.
You’ll play an important role in bringing our payroll operations in-house — leading the transition from an external payroll provider to Pantheon, improving data accuracy, and helping us build more efficient and consistent payroll processes as the business continues to grow.
The Role
As Senior Payroll Officer, you’ll be a key member of our People & Culture team, responsible for ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant payroll processing across our Serbian entities.
The role combines hands-on payroll management with HR administration, systems integration, and process improvement. You’ll work closely with local and global stakeholders, support employees with payroll-related queries, and contribute to the development of our internal payroll operations.

- Payroll Transformation: Support the transition from an external payroll provider to an in-house payroll function using Pantheon, working closely with implementation partners and internal teams.
- Systems Integration: Support and maintain the integration between HiBob and Pantheon, ensuring employee data, leave, overtime, and salary changes flow accurately between systems.
- Process Improvement: Identify and resolve data inconsistencies between HR and payroll systems, improve data accuracy, and help automate payroll processes across both Serbian entities.
