The Team 
Netlight’s global HR organization consists of 25 colleagues across HR, Payroll, and Learning & Development. Payroll is part of HR and serves as a bridge between HR and Finance, with HR as the home function. 
The Payroll team includes responsibility for both in-house and outsourced payroll solutions across multiple countries. The role is based in Stockholm City (Urban Escape, Gallerian). 
 
The Role – Global Payroll Specialist 
The primary responsibility of this role is to coordinate outsourced payroll processes for Netlight’s Nordic offices and the Netherlands, with potential to expand to additional countries as Netlight continues to grow.

 • Coordinating end-to-end payroll processes with external payroll providers
• Collecting, validating, and quality-assuring payroll data prior to submission
• Daily communication with payroll providers
• Ensuring correct reporting to Finance and relevant authorities
• Handling complex payroll-related questions from the organization
• Contributing to process development and continuous improvement within payroll
• Supporting the setup of payroll processes for new countries and offices
• Participating in long-term initiatives to streamline and potentially centralize payroll providers globally

Profile 
Netlight is looking for a payroll professional who is confident in their expertise, enjoys collaboration, and takes ownership of their area. 
The role suits someone who is structured yet flexible, comfortable working in a fast-growing organization, and motivated by both operational payroll work and development opportunities. 
In addition, they value:  
• Strong communication and service mindset
• High attention to detail and reliability
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and complex payroll questions

• Experience working with outsourced payroll providers
Meritorious: 
 • Experience with Swedish payroll
• Experience managing payroll processes end-to-end (“from hire to pay”)

• A role with both operational responsibility and long-term development potential
• A strong culture built on trust, collaboration, and feedback
