What the job involves
- Line management: You will report directly to the Head of Finance
- Ensure timely and accurate payroll delivery globally, through efficient communication to internal and external stakeholders of all transactions impacting payroll and by providing clear deadlines
- Ensure that payroll processes are compliant with local requirements and company policies, and that they are reviewed regularly, improved when necessary and appropriately documented and communicated internally

- Lead the payroll processes and compliance globally - approx. 50 team members across 10 states in the US, 140 team members in the UK, and a very small number in Ireland and Portugal. This means defining and owning procedures for each pay run to happen smoothly, for employment updates (new hires, termination, salary changes) to be incorporated appropriately, and for new compliance requirements to be captured

- Partner with the rest of the Finance team regarding general ledger entries, payroll liabilities reconciliation, state/local tax compliance, annual / ad-hoc audit support, reporting inquiries and other projects as necessary
