Managed Services & Payroll Lead

Own life after placement — attendance, monthly payroll, overtime, replacements, and conversions — so clients never get wrong bills.

  • Lagos, Nigeria
  • Full-time
  • ₦180,000 – ₦230,000 / month
  • Posted June 2026
Apply for this role

About the role

  • Classic household / fleet payroll desk, powered by Pukena’s in-app invoices instead of WhatsApp and spreadsheets.
  • You review every draft bill before a client sees it, and you run replacements when a placement breaks.

Traditional responsibilities

The core of the job — how this role shows up in a staffing or household ops team, with or without software.

  • Build and check monthly salary, overtime, travel, and extra-day charges against the engagement terms
  • Chase clock-outs and dispute stories with staff and employers until the numbers are fair
  • Run replacement and conversion cases with clear communication on both sides
  • Advise on mid-month starts, live-in rules (no OT), and salary review requests
  • Keep clients and founder informed when cash or attendance goes off-track

In the Pukena console

You will also run these workflows in the admin console — tools that support the work above, not the whole job description.

  • Review, approve, and send draft payroll invoices each month
  • Monitor Attendance (clock-out, OT, travel, extra days)
  • Process replacements, conversions, and salary reviews in Operations
  • Partner with Finance on paid / disbursed flags and Earnings rollup

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years in agency payroll, household HR, or managed staffing operations
  • Strong numeracy — comfortable with line-item invoices and pro-rata salary
  • Patient follow-up with drivers, clients, and admin on attendance disputes
  • Integrity — never issue an invoice you have not reviewed
  • Based in Lagos

Nice to have

  • Experience with monthly driver overtime in Lagos households
  • Familiarity with Paystack payroll or wallet flows
  • Prior use of attendance or timesheet tools

Benefits

  • Small team with real ownership — you run a function, not a ticket queue
  • Hybrid or on-site options (Lagos-first)
  • Training on Pukena SOPs and the admin console
  • Performance tied to clean placements, payroll accuracy, and client retention
