Position Overview:

As the Global Payroll Manager your focus will be on two main areas: (1) all transactional components related to the processing of payroll across multiple geographies, and (2) strategic inputs, recommendations, and implementation of future payroll related tools/providers, processes, and entity expansion. Your work in these areas will be end to end, from transactional/strategic inputs through to the recording of the payroll in our books or the implementation of tools and processes. This is an individual contributor role with the potential to expand to a people manager role as the Company continues its impressive growth trajectory.

• Assist in the stabilization of NetSuite where applicable, and work closely with our financial systems manager on data migration, testing and training
• Assist in the annual audit process including evidence gathering for external auditors and the group accounting department
• Identify and drive process improvement with a focus on future scalability
