Director of Payroll

$170k - $190k

Creative Financial Staffing

Director of Payroll
Compensation: $170,000-$190,000 + Bonus
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.


What makes this opportunity compelling:

  • 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
