Geo-Technology Associates (GTA) is a growing, multi-state AEC firm looking for a seasoned payroll professional to own payroll end-to-end, serve as the primary point person for payroll systems, and help modernize how payroll and HR data flow through the organization.

This role is designed for an individual contributor who wants responsibility, influence and enjoys improving processes as much as running them.

• Process automation and reporting improvements

• 3+ years of payroll experience, a plus for those with multi-state exposure
• Strong understanding of payroll compliance and controls
• Experience working within payroll and HRIS systems;
  Paycom, Paycor, ADP, etc
• Comfort with Excel, reconciliations, and payroll data
• A mindset of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Confidence partnering across teams

• You’re not “processing payroll” — you own it
• You’ll influence systems and processes, not just follow them
