About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Payroll Administrator to take complete ownership of payroll for our multi-state, multi-entity organization. This is a high-trust, high-impact role built for someone who takes pride in precision, thrives on accountability, and genuinely enjoys owning a process from beginning to end. As our payroll subject-matter expert, you'll independently run every payroll cycle and keep us compliant across a complex multi-state footprint. You'll work closely with Human Resources, Accounting, property leadership, and managers across the organization to resolve discrepancies, enforce payroll deadlines, maintain strong internal controls, and continuously improve payroll processes. If you're the kind of person who catches the discrepancy before anyone else notices, who never lets a deadline slip, and who takes real satisfaction in a clean reconciliation, this role was made for you. Direct experience with Rippling is a strong plus.
