Are you an experienced payroll professional who enjoys taking ownership, working with detail and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes? We're looking for a Senior Payroll Specialist to join our growing North America team and play an important role in supporting our people and business operations.

In this hands-on role, you’ll manage and focus on the end-to-end bi-weekly US payroll process, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time, with support to the ]Canadian Payroll occasionally. You’ll also prepare payroll-related reports, provide technical payroll guidance, and work closely with the Finance Manager and regional Finance team to support financial reporting and analysis.

A passion for travel is a must-have! With it you’ll bring:

  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience in an end-to-end payroll role, ideally at a senior level.

  • In-depth knowledge of US payroll regulations, tax laws and compliance requirements, including federal, state and local tax codes.

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Business Administration, Accounting or a related field.

  • Ability to understand the flow of transactions within an integrated and automated payroll accounting system.

  • Proficiency with payroll software, particularly ADP and ADP PEO.
