Human Resource Practitioner: Payroll and Administration

Rent-A-Drum is looking for a precise, deadline-driven, and highly confidential Payroll Practitioner to manage payroll operations with accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. If numbers calm you, deadlines motivate you, and payroll errors keep you up at night — you might be exactly who we need. 

Your Quest 

You will take full ownership of payroll accuracy and compliance across the organisation. Your responsibilities include:

• Processing monthly payroll accurately and on time
• Preparing and validating payroll input (new hires, terminations, increases, deductions, overtime)
• Performing payroll reconciliations before final submission
• Ensuring compliance with PAYE, SSC, medical aid, pension, and other statutory requirements
• Submitting statutory returns and maintaining payroll records
• Managing leave balances and resolving payroll queries professionally
• Preparing payroll journals and monthly payroll reports for Finance
• Using Excel to generate payroll analysis, summaries, and reconciliation reports
• Maintaining strict confidentiality of all payroll information
• Supporting audits with complete and accurate payroll documentation
• Continuously improving payroll processes and internal controls

Your Origin Story

We are looking for someone wired for precision, confidentiality, and accountability:

• Namibian citizen
• Diploma or Degree in Payroll, HR, Finance, or Accounting
• 3–5 years’ experience processing payroll in a medium to large organisation
• Strong knowledge of Namibian payroll legislation and statutory deductions
• Proven experience working on Sage VIP Payroll
• Advanced Excel skills — Pivot Tables, lookups, reconciliations, payroll reporting
• You never miss deadlines and work well under pressure
• You are extremely detail-oriented — figures must balance every time
• You handle confidential information with professionalism and integrity
• You communicate clearly and resolve payroll queries calmly and respectfully

The Rent-A-Drum DNA

This role is for someone who believes in:

• Accuracy over assumptions
• Compliance over shortcuts
• Ownership over blame
• Deadlines over delays
• Professional integrity at all times

If you want a relaxed admin role, this isn’t it.
But if you want to be the person everyone trusts to get payroll right — every time — then you’ll thrive here.

Only applications submitted via the official company website will be considered. If you do not receive feedback within four (4) weeks after the closing date, please consider your application unsuccessful.
