Payroll manager

Snoonu is looking for a Payroll Manager to lead and scale our payroll function as the company grows.

Role will support a multi-country, multi-brand workforce spanning HQ staff, Snoomart, Grocery, Garage,

Accommodation, and our large rider and driver population. You will build a stronger, more resilient payroll

structure — growing and diversifying the team, strengthening controls, increasing automation and

segregation of duties, and ensuring accurate, compliant payroll across every market and business line we

operate in.

What You’ll Get Your Hands On: Build & Lead the Payroll Team: Grow, structure, and manage the payroll function, addressing today's thin team coverage and reducing key-person risk by hiring and developing a more diverse, resilient team. Own End-to-End Payroll Governance: Oversee accurate, on-time payroll processing across all business units (HQ, Snoomart, Grocery, Garage, Accommodation) and worker categories (staff, full-time riders/drivers, 3 PL). Strengthen Controls & Segregation of Duties: Implement proper segregation of duties, approval workflows, and review controls across payroll processing that are currently under- resourced given the team's size. Ensure Multi-Country Compliance: Ensure payroll complies with labor law, Wage Protection System (WPS), and social security requirements across Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and other relevant markets. Manage Leave, Settlements & Disputes: Oversee leave and final settlement processing, and act as the escalation point for complex payroll disputes and queries. Partner on Payroll Systems: Work with the Automation & AI Engineering team to modernize payroll workflows (e.g., Keka integration, bank file automation) as part of the wider Dynamics 365 transformation. Manage Cash & Distribution Oversight: Provide oversight of cash salary distribution and COD- related payroll adjustments for fleet and frontline teams. Report on Payroll Metrics: Deliver payroll cost, headcount, and compliance reporting to Finance leadership. Build Succession & Coverage: Establish cross-training and succession plans so payroll processing is never dependent on any single individual or nationality group. The Magic You Bring Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, or a related field. Experience: 6+ years of payroll experience, including at least 2–3 years in a payroll leadership or management role, ideally across multiple countries or business units. Multi-Country Payroll Knowledge: Strong understanding of GCC payroll and labor law requirements (Qatar, Kuwait, Oman), including WPS and end-of-service benefit calculations. Systems Knowledge: Experience with payroll systems (e.g., Keka) and ERP integration; exposure to Dynamics 365 is a plus. Team Building: Proven ability to build, diversify, and develop a team, with a deliberate focus on redundancy and succession planning. Controls & Governance: Strong understanding of payroll controls and segregation of duties. Communication: Confident communicator able to manage sensitive payroll queries and disputes professionally. Adaptability: Comfortable scaling a function to match a fast-growing, multi-brand, multi-country business. Inside Snoonu’s Universe
