Job description

Our Payroll Specialist ensures accurate and timely payroll processing, maintains compliance with labor and tax regulations, and helps drive continuous improvement across payroll operations.

About Ahold Delhaize  
We’re Ahold Delhaize, one of the world’s largest food retail groups. Together with our seventeen strong local retail brands in Europe, the United States, and Indonesia, we share a passion for delivering great food, value and innovations. By bringing ideas to the table and acting on them, you help create a healthier tomorrow. Together, we make better choices accessible for millions of people every day.

Your new team

As a Payroll Specialist, you will be joining our HR team. You’ll become part of a team of five payroll professionals, led by the HR Services & Rewards Manager, responsible for delivering accurate and timely payroll for more than 13,000 colleagues. If working at scale motivates you, you’ll feel right at home in our team.

Key focus areas of your role 

  • End-to-End Payroll Processing: Independently manage payroll calculations, employee compensation, and payments for external engagements, ensuring accuracy and timely execution

  • Legal Compliance: Monitor regulatory changes, interpret labor legislation, and implement all relevant updates to ensure full compliance with legal requirements

  • Tax Filings & Administration: Prepare and submit tax returns, maintain payroll documentation, and perform regular data reconciliation and compliance checks

  • Reporting & Analytics: Generate internal and external reports, maintain data accuracy, and ensure timely preparation and distribution of payslips.

  • Process Improvement & Data Security: Proactively identify and mitigate payroll-related risks while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and protection of employee data.

What’s in it for you?  
At Ahold Delhaize, we create a caring culture where you feel safe and supported. Being part of our family of brands comes with cross-cultural teamwork, international experience, and room to explore across brands and functions. Your curiosity drives what’s next! 
 
We value your well-being, both at work and beyond. That’s why we offer benefits like flexible work options in a hybrid way of working: partly from home and partly from our office in Belgrade (Belville), along with well-being initiatives. This way, you can add something meaningful to our recipe. We enjoy connecting in our office and encourage you to spend at least three days a week here, based on a forty-hour work week. 

Plus:

  • Permanent employment contract with a 6-month probation period
  • Private health insurance
  • Minimum of 26 days of annual leave
  • Employee discount card offering 12% off purchases in our stores, along with a range of additional benefits

The ingredients you bring

Everyone brings their unique flavor. We believe this role comes to life when you bring the following experience: 

  • Minimum secondary education diploma (Level IV), preferably in Economics or a related field
  • At least 3 years of payroll experience, ideally within a large organization or payroll service provider
  • Experience working with SAP
  • Strong knowledge and interpretation of labor law and payroll regulations
  • Good command of English, preferrably

Aside from this, proactivity, initiative, and the ability to work independently will take you far. We are looking for someone who understands the bigger picture behind payroll processes, confidently navigates labor law requirements, and builds strong relationships through effective communication and stakeholder management.
