  • Own knowledge base documentation in SharePoint (and later Atomicwork): employee-facing guides, internal process docs, and partner resources for HRBPs and Recruiting
  • Support state payroll registrations as we expand into new jurisdictions
  • Flag process gaps and help build the systems and guides that close them
Minimum Requirements
  • 6-8 years in payroll and HR generalist operations roles
  • Hands-on experience running multi-state payroll (NYC and California required); ADP Workforce Now experience preferred
  • AI fluency is key, we want someone who can manage and design the payroll process that will sustain the growth we need
  • Workday proficiency at the transaction level (data entry, employee records)
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort owning recurring, high-stakes processes
  • Clear written communication - you'll be writing docs that employees rely on
