Brackenfell, Western Cape, South Africa Montego Pet Nutrition Full time R250 000 - R500 000 per year

Do you find joy in the symmetry of spreadsheets, the thrill of a flawless reconciliation, and the beauty of a perfectly balanced payslip? Then you might just be the analytical hero our HR team's been waiting for.

We're looking for an
HR Data & Payroll Analyst
who can turn raw data into meaningful insight — and ensure that every line, column, and decimal contributes to strategic, people-focused decision-making. This role is part detective, part data artist, and part payroll pro — ideal for someone who can balance analytical rigour with a good sense of humour (and maybe a strong coffee).

What You'll Do (and Do Brilliantly)

HR Data Management & Integrity

  • Keep our HR and payroll data squeaky clean, accurate, and compliant.
  • Reconcile data across systems monthly and ensure everyone plays by the data-quality rulebook.
  • Validate employee master data and benefits — because precision is power.

Data Analysis, Reporting & BI Dashboards

  • Build and maintain interactive HR dashboards in Excel and Power BI that make managers say, "Wow"
  • Deliver crisp reports on headcount, overtime, leave, and cost trends — then automate it all.
  • Turn data into stories that help shape smarter HR strategies.

Payroll Support & Stand-In Duties

  • Validate imports, perform reconciliations, and keep payroll humming in harmony.
  • Stand in for the Payroll Officer when needed — because data waits for no one.
  • Conduct variance analysis to keep everything perfectly in sync.

System Maintenance & Integration

  • Maintain and update configurations in HR systems (Sage People 300, Jarrison, and friends).
  • Work with IT and HR to improve interfaces and automate reporting magic.
  • Test and document changes like a pro.

Compliance & Reporting

  • Ensure every report meets BCEA, LRA, and tax standards.
  • Keep sensitive HR data under lock and key — POPIA says thank you.
  • Support Employment Equity and statutory reporting.

People Support & Collaboration

  • Partner with HR, Finance, and Management to deliver data-driven insight.
  • Guide colleagues on how to make the most of HR systems and reporting tools.
  • Help shape conversations and decisions with your data-savvy brilliance.
