Houston, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/2/2026

We’re looking for a Sr. Payroll Tax & Technology Analyst for a global organization with U.S. and Canadian operations.


What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the go-to payroll technical expert, validating end-to-end payroll calculations, system outputs, and vendor-generated results to confirm everything aligns with regulations, internal policies, and expected outcomes
  • Run independent manual calculations on payroll and payroll taxes to spot discrepancies, then perform root cause analysis to determine whether issues stem from inputs, configuration, integrations, or vendor processing
  • Partner with internal HRIS and the payroll vendor (UKG) to ensure system configurations consistently produce accurate, compliant results — including investigating configuration issues and driving fixes to resolution
  • Own payroll tax validation across federal, state, local, and Canadian jurisdictions, covering tax calculation reviews, reconciliations, year-end reporting outputs (W-2, W-2C, T-4), and the setup of new tax jurisdictions alongside HRIS and the Senior Manager
  • Lead payroll system testing efforts by building test scenarios, executing UAT, and validating system changes before they go live


What We’re Looking For

  • 4 - 8 years of experience processing Payroll Tax
  • Experience with multi state tax experience and processing Canada Tax reports
  • Experience managing payroll systems
