We’re hiring a self-motivated Global Payroll Project Leader with experience leading and implementing global payroll projects.

Payroll is at the end of almost every employment related initiative. The right candidate needs to be comfortable setting up a project program and framework from scratch and work hand in hand with our partner departments. Without collaboration nobody will succeed. The successful candidate will work directly with vendors to ensure deliverables fall within the applicable scope and budget and will coordinate with other departments to ensure all aspects of the projects are managed for a successful and timely implementation. We are looking for a creative and dedicated individual who will fit with our fast-paced, collaborative culture. If you enjoy working with other professionals who believe in creating innovative solutions to problems, we encourage you to apply.
