  • Handle sensitive information with discretion and maintain compliance with payroll, tax, and data-privacy standards.
What you'll bring
  • Advanced Excel skills (listed above) and confidence working with large data sets.
  • Strong analytical/problem-solving skills; bias for action and ownership.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and follow-through in fast-moving environments.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; collaborative approach with cross-functional teams.
  • Nice to have: prior payroll experience (multi-state or international), familiarity with HRIS/payroll systems, basic understanding of payroll accounting (accruals, GL reconciliation).
