Payroll Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Run end-to-end payroll processing each cycle, including wages, overtime, bonuses, commissions, deductions, and benefits across multiple states
• Reconcile timekeeping data, garnishments, and benefits deductions before every close, and flag discrepancies before they become problems
• Own federal, state, and local tax withholding and remittance obligations, and resolve any compliance gaps independently
• Maintain and improve the configuration of Rippling or Deel as headcount grows, roles change, and comp structures evolve
• Partner with HR on new hires, terminations, and compensation changes to keep payroll records accurate in real time

Key Requirements

• 4+ years of progressive payroll or accounting experience, with direct ownership of multi-state payroll and tax compliance
• Hands-on experience at a high-growth tech startup or private company where processes were still being built, not just followed
• Deep familiarity with modern payroll systems — hands-on experience with Rippling or Deel specifically is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to process payroll with zero material errors across complex comp structures, including bonuses, commissions, and equity
• Strong working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax requirements, including withholding, remittance, and filing obligations
