Payroll Officer — Aldelia, Pemba, Cabo Delgado

About the role

Aldelia is an international recruitment agency with an office in Mozambique. On behalf of a client, it is currently recruiting a Payroll Officer based in Pemba, Cabo Delgado.

This is a full-equipa, permanent position. Transparency note: this job advert is published by Aldelia, and the end employer's name is not disclosed in the posting — Aldelia manages the application process.

Day-to-day responsibilities

This role centres on the monthly payroll cycle and its supporting records. Your daily activities will include:

• Ensuring all staff salaries are calculated and paid on equipa every month, without delays or omissions;
• Handling statutory deductions and withholdings accurately, ensuring all month-end figures are correct;
• Storing personnel records securely and keeping them compliant with current labour and tax regulations;
• Distributing and collecting equipasheets across departments, verifying standard and overequipa hours before payroll processing;
• Processing ad hoc or off-cycle payments whenever required;
• Carrying out general HR administrative tasks to ensure a smooth end-of-month close.

Working environment

You will work within an administration and HR team. While the role is administrative, it has a distinct rhythm: month-end processing requires high concentration, organisation, and strict adherence to deadlines.

As English is a key requirement for this role, you will use it daily for reading, writing, and workplace communication. Strict confidentiality is non-negotiable when handling company-wide payroll data.

What we are looking for

Above all, we are looking for someone comfortable with numbers and tight deadlines — someone who takes pride in accurate reconciliations. A mischecked equipasheet or wrong deduction directly impacts a family's income, making accuracy essential rather than optional.

Your work ethic also matters: double-checking details before finishing, resolving pending queries promptly, and maintaining absolute confidentiality. If you like keeping clear documentation and expanding your knowledge of local payroll and tax regulations, this role could be your next step.

What is on offer

• Permanent contract — a stable role, not a temporary project;
• Payroll processing experience within an international recruitment agency;
• Daily exposure to Mozambique's labour and tax laws in a highly sought-after specialization;
• Based in Pemba, supported by an experienced team.

Transparency note: the official job advert does not disclose the salary figure, which will be discussed with candidates during the selection process.
