Location: Boston, MA | Relocation

We're looking for an experienced payroll leader ready to relocate to Boston and take ownership of a complex, high-volume payroll function.
Why This Director of Payroll Opportunity Stands Out
This highly visible role offers the opportunity to lead payroll transformation for a large, nationally recognized organization experiencing significant growth.

Lead payroll operations for a workforce of more than 10,000 employees
Partner directly with executive leadership during a major growth period
Modernize payroll processes, controls, automation, and the UKG environment
Receive comprehensive relocation support, including moving, temporary housing, and travel assistance

Key Responsibilities of the Director of Payroll

Lead multi-state payroll operations, timekeeping, compliance, and reporting
Oversee complex union payroll requirements across multiple collective bargaining agreements
Manage and develop the payroll team while strengthening service and accountability
Drive UKG optimization, automation, process improvements, and internal controls
Oversee payroll taxes, audits, year-end processing, and regulatory compliance

Qualifications for the Director of Payroll

10+ years of progressive payroll leadership experience within a large, complex organization
Experience overseeing payroll for 10,000+ employees across multiple states
Significant union payroll experience involving multiple collective bargaining agreements
Hands-on UKG experience required; Kronos or Dimensions experience strongly preferred
