Your work will integrate seamlessly with People and Finance teams to align global benefits, compensation, and mobility initiatives into a unified payroll flow.
• Day-to-day, you will balance hands-on payroll processing with strategic initiatives—standardizing multi-country processes, identifying automation opportunities, improving data security and quality controls, and partnering cross-functionally to enhance the employee experience.
• You will thrive in a high-growth, mission-driven environment where your analytical rigor, proactive improvement mindset, and ability to translate complex payroll requirements into clear insights will directly impact operational excellence and employee trust.
• This role offers the opportunity to lead transformative change in global payroll infrastructure at a purpose-led fintech scaling internationally, gaining deep exposure to multi-jurisdictional compliance, EOR management, and systems modernization—positioning you as a strategic leader in global payroll and finance operations.

🎯 Requirements

• Extensive experience managing multi-country payroll and benefits, specifically within the tech sector.
• Deep technical knowledge of US and Canadian payroll regulations and tax compliance.
• Hands-on proficiency with Deel (experience with Rippling is a significant bonus).
• Proven experience auditing and changing payroll systems or providers at a global scale.
• A solid understanding of payroll accounting and benefits administration across diverse jurisdictions.

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting financial inclusion for immigrants and the Global South through a mission-driven fintech platform.
• Work in a high-growth, Series B company with 400+ employees across 20+ countries, offering exposure to international operations and scalable systems.
• Collaborative, values-driven culture emphasizing sharp customer focus, data-led decision-making, ownership, and grit.
• Flexibility to balance hands-on execution with strategic project leadership in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
• Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equitable hiring—encouraging applicants from all backgrounds to apply even if they don’t meet every requirement.
