Overview
At IRIS Software Group, we help organisations run every day – including making sure thousands of people are paid correctly and on time.
This role sits within our Paycheck Plus team, part of our Managed Payroll Services function – where we take full responsibility for running payroll on behalf of our clients.
This is not internal payroll.
This is real client delivery, real responsibility, and work that matters every single month.

Payroll is simple when it works – and critical when it doesn’t.
As a Client Payroll Executive, you’ll be trusted to manage payrolls for multiple clients, making sure everything is:
- Accurate
- On time
- Fully compliant
You are the person clients rely on to get it right.
When you do, employees get paid correctly, clients trust us, and relationships grow.

You’ll join our Paycheck Plus team – a specialist payroll bureau within Managed Payroll Services.
- Around 10 experienced Client Payroll Executives and Senior colleagues

You’ll bring:
- IPASS qualification (or working towards it)
- Strong experience processing Irish payroll end-to-end
- Experience managing multiple client payrolls
- Knowledge of Sage Micropay, payroll journals, CSO returns, benefits
- Confidence using Excel and Outlook
- Strong attention to detail – you spot what others miss
- Clear, professional communication skills
- The ability to manage your own deadlines and workload
- A team-focused mindset with a willingness to support others
🎯 What You’ll Gain
- Ownership of your own client portfolio
- A structured, professional payroll environment with clear standards

- A supportive team that understands the demands of payroll
