Senior Payroll Specialist

Payroll ownership with a path into project accounting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Integrity PSC is hiring a Senior Payroll Specialist to own multiple payroll cycles across multiple company divisions from start to finish and get it right every single time. This is a remote role for someone based in the Phoenix Metro area.

You will be the go-to owner for payroll, garnishments, new state setups, and timecard questions. You will also build the processes and SOPs that make our payroll function run smoothly as we grow and move toward a new ERP.

If you are an experienced payroll pro who has hit a ceiling and want a clear path into job costing, project accounting, and business operations, this role was designed with you in mind.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Own all payroll cycles

■ Process weekly, bi-weekly, and bi-monthly payroll accurately and on time, with full ownership of the results

■ Keep a clear tracker of state accounts, registrations, and renewals

Build processes and SOPs

■ Document payroll, garnishment, timecard, and new state setup processes as clear, repeatable SOPs

■ Spot gaps and inefficiencies and recommend practical fixes

Support the future ERP conversion

NICE TO HAVE

GROWTH PATH

This role is a launchpad, not a ceiling. Once payroll is running smoothly, you will have room to grow into cost accounting, job costing, project accounting, and broader business operations.

HOW WE WORK

This is a fully remote role, but we like to connect face to face now and then. Expect more time together during your first 90 days, then about once a quarter after that. In person time is relaxed, often as simple as lunch with the team, not regular office attendance.

WHY INTEGRITY

■ A payroll function you get to shape, with real ownership from day one

■ A clear path from payroll into accounting and operations

■ A team that values experience, practical problem solving, and getting it right

■ Competitive pay of $65,000 to $80,000, plus benefits
