Job Description

Senior Payroll Specialist

Are you a Payroll professional ready for a challenge, but in the best way? We have a client who needs help YESTERDAY on a contract basis (with potential to turn full-time). This Senior Payroll Specialist will have a chance to be part of a reorganization of sorts, processing while having a say in what could be done better.

As a Senior Payroll Specialist in this position, you would be responsible for:

• Processing multi-state payroll for a large employee population
• Reviewing new hires, terminations, compensation changes, bonuses, and deductions
• Researching and resolving payroll discrepancies
• Preparing payroll reports and variance analysis
• Partnering closely with HR, Finance, and operational teams
• Maintaining payroll data integrity and system accuracy
• Supporting payroll audits, controls, and compliance activities
• Assisting with payroll system enhancements and process improvements

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on in payroll processing while also thinking critically about the data. We're looking for someone who can identify trends, ask questions, and help support a growing payroll function during a period of transition and change.

If you have:

• 3+ years of payroll processing experience
• Multi-state payroll experience, including California
• Experience supporting large employee populations
• ADP experience required (could we overlook it if you have the experience to offset it? Yes.)
• Strong Excel and reporting skills
• Experience working in fast-paced, changing environments

Please apply and we will reach out! Whether you're looking for contract, contract-to-hire, or direct-hire opportunities, we'd love the chance to work with you.
