Ensure high-value customer service and effective communication with all partner functions. Liaise with external vendors to ensure deliverables are on time, meet company standards, and compliance requirements. Lead and participate in testing activities related to payroll systems, integrations, and process changes. Prepare and verify documentation and reports related to payroll projects. Conduct research and prepare presentations or reports to support management decisions. Qualifications REQUIRED: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business, related field, or equivalent experience. Minimum 7 years of payroll experience, including direct payroll processing responsibilities. Expert-level knowledge of U.S. payroll, including federal, state, and local tax regulations and reporting. Experience working in a matrixed or global organization, managing multiple stakeholders across regions.
