This is a standout opportunity for a high-performing payroll professional ready to step into a true leadership role at a fast-moving, high-growth company where no two days look the same. Our client is a financially strong, locally based organization that has doubled in size over the past year and is rapidly building a reputation as a leader in their industry. You’ll join an exceptional leadership team and be trusted to take ownership, solve complex problems, and help shape processes in a dynamic, demanding environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on pace, precision, and responsibility and is eager to make the jump from execution to leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of five high-performing payroll specialists, serving as the go-to leader and escalation point in a fast-moving environment
• Take hands-on ownership of complex, multi-state payroll processing, personally overseeing weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly payrolls across 48 states
• Become the in-house payroll systems expert, partnering closely with leadership to drive software optimization, improvements, and system-wide enhancements
• Own payroll compliance end-to-end by staying ahead of tax filings, regulatory changes, and multi-state requirements, ensuring accuracy and confidence at every level

Join a values-driven organization where integrity isn’t just talked about, it’s lived out every day. The energy here is real, the culture is strong, and the leadership team has intentionally built one of the most impressive in-office environments we’ve seen. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a complex payroll function while being a trusted, dependable contributor to a leadership team that truly values teamwork, accountability, and doing the right thing. Our client offers a very flexible schedule, caters in lunches for the staff weekly, and is a dog-friendly office! In this environment, who you are matters as much as what you know – our client is focused on finding the right person over the right resume.
