• You will coordinate with each EOR provider, validate invoices against actuals, and resolve discrepancies — turning a high-volume, distributed model into an auditable workflow.
• You own the processing of the payments, and support the finance team’s general ledger journals, month-end reconciliations, and variance analysis.
• You will work closely with the finance team to ensure payroll liabilities, accruals, and actual disbursements are reflected accurately across entities.
• You will manage cycle-by-cycle processing for variable compensation, working directly with Finance and Revenue Operations to ensure timing, accuracy, and correct tax withholding
• You will stay ahead of — not just keep up with — evolving payroll tax requirements across every jurisdiction WRITER operates in.
• You will manage W-2s, P60s, P45s, T4s, and other international equivalents, and ensure our regulatory filings are complete, accurate, and on time across monthly, quarterly and annual cycles.
• You will reconcile benefits deductions against carrier invoices and manage international statutory leave top-up calculations across jurisdictions with varying leave frameworks.
• As Writer expands, you will lead new country setup for Payroll operations: systems configuration, testing, and end to end cycle execution.
• You will be a trusted resource for employees navigating payroll questions, tax situations, payslip discrepancies, and equity withholding — especially during peak seasons like tax filing and open enrollment.
• You will identify manual inefficiencies and build scalable workflows that integrate cleanly with Finance and HR systems.
