Payroll Specialist

Chicago, IL (Hybrid)

Up to $85K base

A growing, well-established Chicago-based firm is adding a Payroll Specialist to its team. This is a newly created role, not a backfill.

You’ll own payroll from the inside — not just processing it, but staying close enough to the details to catch issues early and make real recommendations when something needs to change. That means you’ve actually run payroll before, not just reviewed someone else’s output.

What you’d be doing:

  • Owning day-to-day payroll processing and the systems behind it
  • Keeping payroll data clean and current, recommending changes when something needs to improve
  • Leading payroll system upgrades
  • Serving as the go-to person when a payroll issue comes up, and actually solving it

What they want to see:

  • Real, hands-on experience running payroll for a company
  • Comfortable across a couple of different payroll systems
  • Confident enough to make a recommendation, not just execute what you’re told

Comprehensive benefits package: Medical, dental, vision, etc.
