• Manage payroll-adjacent compliance areas including EEO reporting and workers’ compensation across multiple states
• Prepare payroll and finance reports for budgeting and audits
• Drive process improvement — identifying where automation or better tools can strengthen the connection between Payroll, Benefits, and HRIS
• Support payroll, HR, and operations during mergers & acquisitions
• Serve as backup to our payroll processor, stepping in as needed — understanding payroll processing is important, though it’s not the daily focus
