Welcome to Rārangi Utu-a-Mātauranga–Education Payroll. Our team of around 200 people is responsible for delivering the pay to 100,000 teachers and school support staff every fortnight – that’s $283 million per pay period and $7.4 billion each year. It’s the combination of great people and cutting edge technology that enables us to do this well. Check out why we think it’s a great place to work and what roles we have on offer.
Our technology team work on an application built on a modern kubernetes technology stack that uses the latest azure services. This enables us to have agile-minded, technology-focused roles in software development, business analysis, testing, scrum practice, cloud operations, platform engineering, IT system operations and change design.
Our Oracle-based payroll system is run by our wide range of payroll experts, including payroll, salary assessment, overpayment and ACC advisors, tax and customer service specialists, payrun coordinators and payroll system administrators. All of these positions contribute to the fortnightly payrun being successfully delivered to schools.
Our specialist teams keep us at the top of our game and include risk and assurance, people and leadership, finance, communications and engagement and technology assurance.
There are many internal opportunities for growth across the organisation and we pride ourselves on being able to upskill and recruit from within.
