If you're a detail-driven payroll professional ready to support a complex, high-volume environment as a Payroll Specialist, this is a strong opportunity to join a well-established organization with a North America workforce. This team operates with a high standard of accuracy and efficiency, leveraging UKG Pro to deliver reliable payroll operations at scale.

What you'll be doing as the Payroll Specialist:

  • Support North America employees, and third-party administrators from hire through retirement
  • Perform payroll processing functions in UKG Pro using established procedures
  • Ensure statutory and regulatory compliance requirements are consistently met
  • Maintain payroll records in accordance with statutory and corporate governance standards
  • Audit payroll data and ensure accuracy and timely processing
  • Identify deficiencies and recommend improvements to payroll processes and documentation

This Payroll Specialist role offers a blend of structure and operational impact. You'll play a key role in ensuring payroll is processed with speed, precision, and compliance while partnering closely with internal stakeholders.

What they're looking for in a Payroll Specialist:

  • Degree in an accounting-related field or a combination of accounting/HR education and relevant experience
  • 3-4 years of payroll experience, ideally supporting multi-state and/or union environments within North America
  • Experience with computerized payroll systems (UKG Pro strongly preferred)
  • High proficiency in Excel and solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office
  • Strong organizational, time-management, and prioritization skills

This Payroll Specialist opportunity offers the chance to be part of a collaborative payroll team that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement. You'll support a large and diverse employee population while strengthening payroll processes in a dynamic environment.
