Job description

Payroll Specialist — Join a Growing Payroll Team for our US Client!

Ready to grow your payroll career with hands-on exposure to Workday, high-volume processing, and real ownership? Our US client is expanding its payroll team and looking for a Payroll Specialist to support our current Payroll lead as the team scales.

About the Role

You'll be a key part of a payroll team supporting 500+ employees, working closely with our Payroll Lead, plus HR, Finance, and business stakeholders. The role is a mix of hands-on payroll processing (about 80% of your time) and ad hoc support like fielding payroll questions and requests (about 20%) — so you'll need to be just as comfortable running a clean bi-weekly payroll cycle as you are jumping on a call to help an employee sort out a paycheck question.

What You’ll Do

• Process bi-weekly (and related cycle) payroll accurately and on time, including uploading payroll data and processing changes
• Support day-to-day payroll operations — garnishments, wage verifications, deductions, and PTO accruals
• Manage the electronic timekeeping system and QA employee timesheets for accuracy
• Ensure commissions, incentives, and bonuses are paid correctly and on schedule
• Field payroll-related inquiries via phone and email — discrepancies, requests, and general questions from employees
• Run payroll reports to support audits, reconciliations, and business needs
• Partner with HR, Finance, and HRIS teams to help improve payroll processes and system accuracy
• Pitch in on Workday-related payroll initiatives as the team continues to roll it out

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of US payroll experience, ideally including high-volume payroll (500+ employees)
• Experience with bi-weekly payroll cycles
• Comfortable working across payroll systems — Workday experience is a strong plus, but if you've worked in another major payroll system and are eager to learn Workday, we want to hear from you
• Strong time management skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once
• Good communication skills — you'll be talking directly with employees about their pay
• Tech-savvy and quick to pick up new systems and tools
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion
• Fluent English

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with ADP
• Exposure to Workday implementation projects
• Payroll certification (not required — equivalent hands‑on experience works too)

What’s In It For You

• A true growth opportunity — join a team that's actively expanding, with room to grow into more responsibility over time
• Minimal red tape: work directly with a Payroll Lead who will help you ramp up quickly
• Exposure to a modern payroll systems environment, including hands‑on Workday experience
• Cross‑functional collaboration with HR, Finance, and business leaders — great visibility for someone looking to build a broader HR/payroll career
