- Proven track record of building or significantly improving payroll processes and systems in a high-growth or scaling company
- Strong proficiency with payroll platforms (e.g., Rippling, ADP, Workday, or equivalent) and HRIS integrations
- Experience partnering with Finance and Accounting teams to ensure payroll data integrity and support audits
- CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) designation or equivalent certification
- Experience standing up payroll operations in new countries or regions as a company expands internationally
- Familiarity with equity compensation payroll treatment (RSUs, stock options, ESPP)
- Experience at a high-growth startup or technology company
- Exposure to employer of record (EOR) and contractor payroll models
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms
Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
