Job description

Senior Payroll Specialist

Do you love Payroll & HR, but also want a life outside of it? We can help with that!

myHR Partner has a remote full-time Senior Payroll Specialist role available, working with clients across a range of industries and mentoring the rest of our payroll team along the way. It's a good time to join our growing remote team - we've been named a Best Places to Work in PA for three years running, and we're an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company!

If you're the person your team already comes to with the tricky payroll question, and you're ready to bring that expertise to a portfolio of clients instead of just one, we'd love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

Our clients depend on us for accurate, on-time payroll and benefits administration. Each client keeps their own vendor of choice, so no two days look the same. Your day-to-day may include:

• Work across multiple payroll and HR tech platforms - we currently use ADP, Paylocity, Workday, iSolved, Bamboo, Gusto and more
• Own payroll processing for an assigned portfolio of clients, working directly with them on payroll-related needs
• Have the tough conversations when a client's payroll practices put them at risk, and help them get back on track
• Serve as the main point of contact for payroll information during audits, benefits census requests, and workers' comp reviews
• Manage payroll compliance work: year-end tasks, state-specific requirements, and everything in between
• Support employee benefits administration, reporting, and payroll setup as needed
• Lead payroll implementations, transitions, and other large-scale projects
• Build and run custom payroll reports, and conduct payroll audits
• Serve as a payroll subject matter expert for the team, coaching and mentoring other Specialists

What you need to thrive in this role

• Align with our Core Values: Embrace learning & growth; deliver a five-star experience; do what you say and own what you do; foster empathy and respect; think beyond the task
• Experience: 5+ years of payroll experience working at an independent level, with solid multi-state experience. Bonus if you've handled California or New York!
• Leadership: You've had hard conversations before and you're comfortable having more. You like helping teammates grow in their roles, and you're looking to grow further into that kind of role.
• Client-Facing Experience: We love it if you've worked directly with clients before, but we don't want to overlook great talent if the rest of your background is strong, we're flexible here!
• Location: We offer remote positions within the Eastern and Central time zones only. Sorry West Coast - it's not you, it's us.
• Schedule: This is a full-time, salaried, W2 role. Our core business hours are 8:30am–5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday, with Mondays-Wednesdays tending to be the heaviest days across our payroll team.
• Software Skills: Well-versed in MS Office; the more payroll platforms you've touched, the better. ADP, Paylocity, and Workday experience are especially useful.
• Adaptability: You're good at building relationships and adjusting your style across a diverse client base.
• Equality & Inclusion: We believe deeply in diversity and in all the things that make people different from one another.
