  • Validate payroll inputs (compensation changes, bonuses, commissions, benefits, leave, etc.) and review calculations
  • Oversee payroll reconciliations and perform monthly payroll-related close activities (payroll-related journal entries, accruals, and variance analyses)
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for payroll queries from employees and internal stakeholders
  • Lead process improvements to increase accuracy, scalability, and automation of payroll workflows
  • Partner with People Ops to transition and modernize our global HRIS and payroll systems including platform implementation
  • Develop and maintain robust documentation, including global playbooks, country-level SOPs, and integration maps to support future scale
  • Act as a subject matter expert for payroll system integrations with other platforms (e.g., accounting software, benefits administration)
  • Implement and monitor KPIs to measure payroll process efficiency and accuracy
  • Ensure compliance with local tax regulations, and statutory reporting requirements across supported countries
  • Maintain and enhance internal controls over payroll, including segregation of duties, approvals, documentation standard
  • Manage audits (financial, tax, and internal) requiring payroll support
  • Stay current on global payroll legislation changes and coordinate implementation of required updates
  • Conduct periodic internal audits and risk assessments to identify control gaps
  • Manage relationships with global payroll providers, PEOs, and local in-country partners
  • Evaluate vendor performance and partner on RFP efforts with Procurement

Requirements

  • 6–10 years of progressive payroll experience
  • 3+ years of experience managing global payroll across multiple countries
  • CPP, CPA, or similar certification
  • Expertise in US and Canadian payroll compliance
  • Experience with EMEA/APAC payroll jurisdictions is a strong plus
  • Strong understanding of payroll accounting, including payroll accruals, reconciliations, and month-end close processes
  • Proven experience implementing or upgrading payroll systems and process improvements
  • Deep attention to detail, high ownership, and an ability to operate in a fast-paced, scaling environment
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort interacting with colleagues at all levels

What we offer

  • An open and inclusive culture and work environment
  • Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research
  • Weekly lunch stipend, in-office lunches & snacks
  • Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget to take care of your mental health
  • 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months
  • Personal enrichment benefits towards arts and culture, fitness and well-being, quality time, and workspace improvement
