About the role
- Today that work is split across three outsourced providers and one internal person, with no single owner.
- We have grown to a size where equity administration requires an owner as well.
- This is a Finance role, not an HR administration role, and not an accounting role.
Responsibilities
- Own the single documented path by which anything enters payroll
- Maintain maker/checker separation, a change log and a published cutoff calendar
- Own the funding calendar against the PEO debit schedule
- Calculate, document and route for approval
- maintain the audit trail
- Own the earned-versus-paid accrual file delivered to close
- Calculate, document and route for approval; maintain the audit trail
- Own the accountable-plan test under IRC 62(c)
- Partner with Finance Operations, who processes reimbursements; you decide what lands on a W-2
- Own the vendor relationship
Requirements
- You have administered more than one instrument type, and can steward an existing book while standing up a new one.
- You can explain the three-part test and apply it to a relocation package without looking it up.
- You have been through a PEO exit or a payroll platform migration
- Direct experience with a PEO exit or a payroll platform migration
- Payroll tax mechanics at depth. Multi-state withholding and wage bases, supplemental rates, quarterly and annual filings, and what changes when a company leaves a PEO.
- Equity administration across the full instrument set. Restricted stock and 83(b) mechanics, ISO versus NSO treatment and disqualifying dispositions, vesting and repurchase schedules, and reconciliation between a cap table system and payroll. You have administered more than one instrument type, and can steward an existing book while standing up a new one.
- Fringe benefit and accountable-plan taxability. You can explain the three-part test and apply it to a relocation package without looking it up.
- Controls instinct. You have designed or materially improved a payroll approval workflow. You do not process a file simply because someone sent it.
- 8+ years in payroll operations, stock plan administration, or a blended People/Finance operations role at a company that grew through the 100 to 300 employee range. Two prerequisites within that:
- You have designed a payroll approval workflow, not only operated one
- CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) or CEP (Certified Equity Professional)
- Carta or equivalent cap table administration
- Working comfort with accruals, GL coding and reconciliation, enough to hand a clean file to accounting, not to own the close
Nice to have
- Rox runs US payroll through a PEO, plus international employees through an EOR, and pays out variable compensation across several plan types every month.
Compensation
- $185,000 to $215,000, depending on depth of equity administration experience
- Up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave at 100% pay (birth, adoption, or foster)
- Annual renewal cycle, plan selection and contribution modeling
Benefits
- Base salary: $185,000 to $215,000, depending on depth of equity administration experience
- Equity: standard early-stage grant, four-year vest with a one-year cliff.
- Send a short note describing a payroll or equity process you designed or fixed, and what broke before you fixed it.
