The posting

About Career Team

Career Team is a US-based organization on a mission to connect great talent with great opportunity. With a growing footprint spanning 15+ US states, we operate with precision, purpose, and a relentless drive to do things differently. Our Philippines-based team is a core part of how we deliver excellence globally — and this role sits at the heart of it.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Payroll Systems & Tax Manager to lead our payroll operations from the Philippines. This is a senior-level, people-first, technically demanding role — and we are looking for someone who is genuinely excited by all three of those things.

You will be our ultimate authority on US multi-state payroll and tax compliance, while simultaneously leading and scaling a dedicated PH-based payroll team. You will report directly to the VP of Human Resources and serve as a key advisor to the C-suite.

Your Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership: Supervise, mentor, and develop a Philippines-based payroll team. You are building a high-performance function from the ground up — hiring, structuring, and coaching are central to this role.
  • End-to-End Payroll Oversight: Manage the full payroll lifecycle across 15+ US states, serving as the final escalation point for complex tax and systems issues.
  • Multi-State Tax Compliance: Lead withholding, filing, and reconciliation across all state jurisdictions, including SUTA/FUTA, FICA, and local tax nexus management.
  • Payroll Systems Ownership: Serve as Subject Matter Expert for ADP Workforce Now (or equivalent platform), ensuring system integrity, integration, and continuous optimization.
  • Tax Registration & Filings: Manage registration of new state tax IDs and oversee all compliance obligations across a growing US footprint.
  • Audit & Notice Management: Lead responses to all federal and state tax notices, garnishments, and year-end reconciliations including W-2/W-3 processing.
  • Executive Reporting: Deliver accurate, timely payroll and compliance reporting to the C-suite, including 401(k) contributions, audit status, and trend analysis.
  • Process Improvement: Drive the shift from manual, reactive payroll processing to automated, scalable, and audit-ready operations.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 8+ years of US multi-state payroll experience, with at least 3 years in a people leadership role
  • Demonstrated experience building, structuring, or scaling a Philippines-based payroll team
  • Deep expertise in US multi-state tax compliance (SUTA/FUTA, FICA, W-2/W-3, state nexus) — multi-state experience is non-negotiable
  • Advanced Excel proficiency: Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, Macros, Power Query, and large-dataset modeling
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to translate complex tax topics for US-based stakeholders
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Comfort and commitment working 10:00 PM – 7:00 AM PHST to align with US Eastern/Central business hours

Team and Reporting Structure

This role reports directly to the VP of Human Resources. You will lead a dedicated Philippines-based payroll team and collaborate closely with US-based Finance, HR, and Operations leadership.

The ideal candidate may be stepping into an existing team or building one — either way, you will have a direct hand in shaping its structure, culture, and capabilities.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
