Job Description
The Global Payroll Analyst will own end-to-end semi-monthly payroll processing for multi-state U.S. employees while supporting international payroll operations in regions such as the UK, Portugal, and Lithuania.

• Own end-to-end payroll processing for semi-monthly payroll cycles, with a focus on multi-state U.S. payroll.
• Execute payroll accurately in BambooHR, ensuring data integrity, system accuracy, and timely processing.
• Process all payroll-related changes including new hires, terminations, compensation adjustments, bonuses, and corrections.
• Review and audit payroll runs for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable payroll tax and regulatory requirements.
• Support global payroll alignment by coordinating with international payroll partners in regions such as the UK, Portugal, and Lithuania, while not directly owning in-country execution.
• Partner with external vendors and internal HR and Finance teams to ensure smooth, compliant, and efficient payroll operations.
• Handle payroll tax setup, updates, and ongoing maintenance to ensure adherence to federal, state, and local tax regulations.
• Manage payroll compliance activities, including monitoring changes in legislation and implementing necessary updates in systems and processes.
• Identify process inefficiencies and year-end bottlenecks across payroll operations and propose practical solutions.
• Contribute to process improvement and scalability initiatives to support a growing employee population and evolving global footprint.
• Perform payroll reconciliations and audits to validate data accuracy and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner.
• Support ACA reporting activities, including preparation and review of 1094-C and 1095-C forms.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with HR, Finance, and leadership to provide payroll insights and support broader people and finance initiatives.
• Challenge existing workflows, recommend enhancements, and help implement new processes and tools to optimize payroll operations.
• Maintain a hands-on approach to day-to-day payroll tasks, ensuring consistent execution rather than solely providing oversight.

Essential Skills

• 4-7 years of hands-on payroll processing experience, with a focus on multi-state U.S. payroll.
• Proven experience executing payroll in BambooHR (required), including data entry, validation, and processing.
• Deep understanding of payroll tax and compliance requirements at federal, state, and local levels.
• Experience with payroll reconciliation and auditing to ensure accuracy and resolve discrepancies.

• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with a process-oriented mindset.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment with non-traditional schedules and changing priorities.
• Hands-on working style, with a focus on execution rather than purely managerial oversight.
• Effective collaboration skills with HR, Finance, vendors, and leadership to support cross-functional initiatives.
• Experience with Workday or similar HRIS/payroll systems, in addition to BambooHR.
• Competence in vendor management related to payroll and benefits administration.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with ACA reporting, including 1094-C and 1095-C forms.
