Payroll Benefits Specialist

$60k - $70k

Creative Financial Staffing

Payroll & Benefits Specialist

Salary: $60,000-$70,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This Payroll & Benefits Specialist role is far from transactional—you'll be trusted to own the function and help shape how payroll and benefits evolve as the company continues to grow.

The Payroll & Benefits Specialist will step into a high-impact role supporting a multi-state workforce, giving you exposure and experience that goes beyond a typical single-location environment.

You'll join a team that values longevity and stability—people stay here, and that says a lot about the culture and leadership.

Leadership is hands-off but supportive—you'll have the autonomy to run with ideas while still having guidance when you need it.

Flexibility is built into the culture – offering a hybrid schedule and realistic expectations around workload.

Strong benefits package including:

  • 401(k) with company match
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Bonus potential + long-term career growth

The Payroll & Benefits Specialist will have the opportunity to drive process improvements, streamline systems, and create efficiencies—your input will truly matter.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Process all new hire paperwork
  • Administer employee benefits programs including health, retirement, and leave management
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employee payroll and benefits questions
  • Enter payroll deductions for any benefits, child support, and wage garnishments
Qualifications:
  • 3+ years of experience in benefits administration
  • Strong knowledge of payroll systems and benefits processes
