  • Collect and audit data from Time and Attendance systems, ensuring hours are accurate and compliant
  • Maintain and improve payroll systems, especially Workday and ADP SmartCompliance
  • Audit EIB files and interface results between HRIS and payroll platforms
  • Identify and drive opportunities for automation and process improvements
  • Collaborate on system strategy and enhancements with internal teams and external partners
  • Provide high-quality, timely service to employees
  • Educate employees on payroll processes and resolve inquiries professionally

What We're Looking For:

  • 3+ years of experience in Payroll, Accounting, or Finance roles (end-to-end payroll)
  • Proficiency with ADP SmartCompliance, Workday HCM, and NetSuite
  • Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables,INDEX/MATCH, V-XLOOKUPs, formulas)
  • In-depth knowledge of U.S. payroll tax laws and multi-state compliance
  • Strong understanding of payroll-related internal controls
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, meet tight deadlines, and adapt quickly
  • Excellent organizational skills and keen attention to detail
  • High ethical standards and the ability to handle sensitive data discreetly

The posted pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the compensation for this position and is subject to change based on business need. To determine a successful candidate’s starting pay, we carefully consider a variety of factors, including primary work location, an evaluation of the candidate’s skills and experience, market demands, and internal parity.For roles with on-target-earnings (OTE), the pay range includes both base salary and target incentive compensation. Target incentive compensation for some roles may include a ramping draw period. Compensation is higher for those who exceed targets. Candidates may receive more information from the recruiter.
