About the role
- We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Global Payroll Specialist who has personally processed payroll in multiple countries - not simply managed in-country provider (ICP) relationships or acted as a communication liaison.
Responsibilities
- Review, validate, and challenge in-country provider (ICP) outputs where applicable, catching errors before they reach employees rather than passing them through.
- Manage new country launches, including setting up payroll calendars, statutory accounts, registrations, and payroll parameters.
- Maintain compliance with data privacy regulations (GDPR, local equivalents) and internal SOX or audit controls.
- Maintain accurate payroll records and documentation in line with country-specific retention requirements.
Requirements
- Demonstrated ability to process payroll directly including gross-to-net calculations, statutory contributions, and filings not just coordinate with ICPs.
- Strong understanding of country-specific tax regimes, social security systems, and statutory reporting requirements in the countries you've supported.
- Experience auditing and reconciling payroll outputs, including identifying ICP errors and driving corrections.
- Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to work to tight deadlines across time zones.
Nice to have
- Experience launching payroll in a new country.
- Experience transitioning payroll between ICPs or from in-house to outsourced (or vice versa).
- Additional language skills relevant to supported regions.
- GPMI CPP, CIPP (UK), or equivalent payroll certification preferred.
Compensation
- Process new hires, terminations, leavers, transfers, and salary changes across jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with local notice periods, severance rules, and final pay requirements.
Benefits
- Process end-to-end payroll for employees across our global footprint, including gross-to-net calculations, statutory deductions, benefits, bonuses, equity events, and off-cycle payments.
- Manage country-specific statutory contributions, income tax withholdings, social security, pension, and other mandatory filings in accordance with local regulations.
- Partner with internal teams (payroll operations, treasury, accounting, benefits, engineering, and implementation) to resolve issues, improve workflows, and feed real-world payroll requirements into product development.
Company info
- Independently run full payroll cycles across multiple countries, with the ability to validate and audit calculations rather than relying solely on ICP outputs. You'll be expected to ramp into new countries quickly as our footprint expands.
