Payroll/ Systems Consultant

BPM LLP

23h • $50 - $65 • Remote

About The Position

You’re a systems-minded payroll and HR professional who loves getting inside HR and payroll platforms and making them work better. You understand how payroll and HR operations actually run — and you know how to optimize systems like Paycor, Workday, ADP, Paylocity, UKG, or similar platforms so that clients can operate more efficiently, accurately, and confidently.

This is a client-facing consulting role focused on:
- System optimization
- Configuration and setup
- Process improvement
- Client support and training

We’re looking for someone who understands payroll and HR operations and knows how to translate that knowledge into well-configured, well-functioning systems.

You may come from a background where you:
Process payroll and also helped implement or configure systems
Led HRIS or payroll system transitions
Supported Paycor or Workday as a system owner or power user
Worked in construction, manufacturing, or other complex payroll environments

The ideal candidate has both payroll processing experience and system implementation/configuration experience — but strong experience in either is welcome.

Work Arrangement:
Part-time, non-benefited consulting role
Fully remote with occasional video meetings
Flexible schedule based on client needs and project work
No daily commute — work from wherever you do your best work

• 5+ years of experience in payroll and HR operations
• Experience working with HRIS and payroll platforms such as Paycor, Workday, ADP, Paylocity, UKG, Ceridian, or similar
• Experience with system implementation, configuration, optimization, or transitions
• Strong understanding of payroll processing, taxes, and compliance
• Client-facing or consulting experience strongly preferred
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently in a consulting environment
• Ability to manage multiple client projects at once

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients on HRIS and payroll system optimization
• Partner directly with clients to understand their payroll and HR workflows and identify opportunities for improvement

• Review existing system setups and recommend improvements to increase efficiency, accuracy, and compliance
• Support system cleanups, reconfigurations, and process redesign
• Assist with new system implementations, upgrades, and transitions
• Support system setup, configuration, testing, and go-live activities

• Validate payroll configurations including earnings, deductions, taxes, and reporting
• Support payroll processing and validation as needed
• Troubleshoot payroll and system issues and drive resolution
• Ensure payroll configurations align with federal, state, and local compliance requirements
• Support complex payroll environments including multi-state, union, and job-costing (construction experience is a plus)
• Act as a primary point of contact for system-related questions
• Communicate clearly and confidently with client stakeholders at all levels
• Deliver system training and documentation to ensure client self-sufficiency
• Translate technical system functionality into practical business solutions
