Proactively identify and resolve payroll discrepancies, working directly with employees and internal partners to troubleshoot and prevent recurrence. Manage employee payroll support inquiries with a high degree of professionalism, clarity, and service orientation. Lead day-to-day workflows with outsourced payroll/BPO partners to ensure SLAs are met, quality standards are upheld, and escalations are handled efficiently. Partner closely with HR and other cross-functional teams to ensure clean upstream inputs and accurate downstream reporting. Maintain documentation, process maps, and internal controls to support audit readiness and compliance. Recommend process improvements and identify automation or efficiency opportunities to drive continuous improvement in payroll operations. You might thrive in this role if you have: 6+ years of progressive experience in payroll operations, preferably in a fast-paced or high-growth environment. Strong working knowledge of U.S. federal, state, and local payroll regulations, tax requirements, and standard payroll practices. Hands-on experience with Workday Payroll or other large HCM/payroll systems; ADP or SmartCompliance experience is a plus. Ability to independently manage priorities, take ownership of outcomes, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail. Clear and concise communication skills, with the ability to partner effectively with internal and external stakeholders. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, HR, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. CPP certification is a plus.
