Our values guide how we operate, execute, and collaborate across borders. By putting them into action, you’ll help us scale faster, compete harder, and lead the future of global work.

What Makes You A Great Fit

We're looking for a strategic, transformational leader to head our Global Payroll product that we offer within our Employer of Record (EOR) services, international payroll and expense management solutions, and a growing suite of innovative, tech-enabled payroll solutions. This is a high-impact leadership role, responsible not only for operational excellence but also for shaping the future of payroll as a global product offering.

If you've partnered with global organizations on large-scale internal transformations, reimagined payroll as more than just a back-office function, and partnered with clients to streamline and enhance their payroll operations, this is your opportunity to make an industry-defining impact.

You'll lead a diverse global team of 50+ professionals and serve as a strategic partner across product, engineering, and finance, while engaging directly with clients across 185+ countries.

This role requires candidates to be located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, or Brazil. Applicants outside of these locations will not be considered.

How You'll Make an Impact:

• Execute and shape global payroll strategy in partnership with senior leadership, ensuring alignment across Employer of Record services, technology, client service, and operations.

• Support the payroll product roadmap by collaborating with R&D and cross-functional teams, contributing insights to drive scalability, automation, and stronger customer experiences

• Oversee global payroll operations, ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant delivery across multiple regions.

• Advise clients and internal stakeholders on payroll best practices and process improvements, providing a consultative approach to optimize global payroll execution.

• Lead internal process improvements, streamlining workflows, integrating systems, and leveraging automation and data to improve efficiency and accuracy.

• Manage and develop a global payroll team, fostering collaboration, accountability, and a focus on continuous improvement.

• Maintain compliance and mitigate risks by working closely with Legal, Compliance, and regional experts to meet regulatory requirements worldwide.

Let's Connect If You Have:

• Experience partnering with clients to improve payroll/financial services delivery, particularly within complex, multi-country environments.

• Proven track record implementing transformation initiatives within fast-moving, global organizations.

• Solid understanding of payroll as a product, with experience enhancing payroll capabilities or contributing to tech-enabled solutions. Examples of client or project work in payroll, especially in high-growth environments, are strongly preferred.

• Background in consulting or operational roles, with demonstrated skills in data-driven decision-making, KPI tracking, and stakeholder collaboration.

• Experience leading regional or global teams, delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines, and working effectively in ambiguous, changing contexts.

• Commitment to continuous improvement, operational excellence, and customer-focused delivery.

This is more than a payroll leadership role; it's an opportunity to redefine how global payroll is delivered, experienced, and scaled worldwide. If you're ready to bring strategic vision, operational depth, and transformational leadership to one of the most dynamic categories in the global employment space, we'd love to meet you.
