Full Job Description
The Opportunity:

We're looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to own payroll operations across Canada and the United States as part of our Accounting & Finance team. As Jetson's payroll expert, you'll manage pay for a fast-growing workforce, including hourly, salaried, piece-rate and commissioned employees. This is a highly visible role where accuracy, compliance and sound judgment matter. This is a chance to build the payroll function as it grows: shape the processes, set up ADP to scale, and support our expansion into new markets while helping Jetson electrify homes across North America.

What You'll Do:
  • Run end-to-end payroll in ADP for Canada and the US, covering hourly, salaried, piece-rate and commission-earning employees
  • Calculate and check piece-rate pay for field technicians, including minimum wage floors, overtime and vacation/PTO rules in each province and state
  • Calculate sales commissions with Sales and Finance, check them against CRM and sales data, and pay them accurately and on time
  • Report to the Accounting & Finance team: reconcile payroll to the general ledger, prepare journal entries and support month-end close and audits
  • Ensure compliance with Canadian and US payroll requirements, including provincial/state employment standards, CRA and IRS withholding and remittances, workers' compensation, and year-end T4 and W-2 filings
  • Maintain employee pay data and ADP setup (earnings codes, deductions, benefits), and answer employee payroll questions
  • Set up payroll for new provinces and states as Jetson enters new markets, and find ways to automate and improve payroll processes as we grow

What You Bring:
  • 5+ years of payroll experience, ideally across both Canada and the US
  • A PCP/CPM (Canada) or CPP (US) designation is an asset
  • Strong hands-on expertise with ADP (Workforce Now or similar)
  • Experience paying mixed workforces: hourly, salaried, piece rate and variable or commission pay
  • Solid knowledge of multi-jurisdiction payroll compliance (CRA, IRS, provincial and state rules)
  • High accuracy, strong Excel/Sheets skills, and sound judgment with confidential information
  • Experience with modern tools, including AI, to automate and make your day more efficient
  • Familiarity with modern tools including AI for efficiency

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: $82,000 - $102,000 per annum

Benefits/Perks:
  • Dental, Vision & Life Insurance: 100% company-paid premiums
  • Extended Health Care
  • Disability Insurance
  • Parental Leave Top-Up
  • Education Support
  • Equity

Work Location: In person - North Vancouver, BC
