  • Collaborate with OSV on U.S. tax filings, amendments, and the resolution of agency notices.
  • Review, reconcile, and analyze payroll tax liabilities and funding across jurisdictions.
  • Coordinate with international payroll vendors to validate inputs and ensure timely and accurate delivery of gross-to-net calculations, payments, and statutory reports.
  • Manage quarter-end and year-end payroll close processes, including W-2s, T4s, P11Ds, PSA filings, and other statutory deliverables.
  • Conduct system testing and support Workday configuration updates to meet evolving payroll and compliance needs.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of payroll processes, statutory requirements, and audit trails for all payroll entities.
  • Provide support during internal and external audits, responding to requests related to both U.S. and international payroll.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or CPP certification required.
  • 5–7+ years of payroll experience, including full-cycle payroll processing in both large corporate and startup settings.
  • Proven expertise managing multi-country payrolls across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
  • Minimum 5 years of hands-on Workday Payroll experience.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. and international payroll tax compliance and reporting.
  • Experience with OneSource Virtual (OSV) or comparable tax vendors is highly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of payroll accounting, tax reconciliations, and funding processes.
  • Advanced Excel and data analysis skills, with the ability to manage large, complex data sets.
