Job Title

Payroll Operations Manager

As the Payroll Operations Manager, you will own U.S. payroll operations for a multi-state manufacturing workforce: accurate and compliant processing, payroll tax, timekeeping, vendor management, internal controls, and audit readiness. You will serve as the company’s subject matter expert on Workday Payroll and UKG/Kronos Workforce Management, and drives efficiency through automation, analytics, and AI-enabled tools. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. Works independently with guidance in only the most complex or precedent-setting matters.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Deliver accurate, timely, and compliant U.S. payroll across multiple states.
  • Own the payroll calendar end to end — deadlines, approvals, funding, quarter-end and year-end close, tax reconciliations, and W-2 issuance.
  • Own configuration, administration, and integration of Workday Payroll and UKG/Kronos, maintaining data integrity across time, earnings, deductions, taxes, and garnishments.
  • Interpret and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local payroll and wage-and-hour requirements, including overtime, shift premiums, garnishments, and deductions affecting an hourly workforce.
  • Build and maintain payroll policies, procedures, and internal controls; lead payroll audits and keep documentation audit-ready.
  • Manage payroll vendors — service levels, regulatory filings, reconciliations, and issue resolution.
  • Build reporting and exception dashboards that surface anomalies, trends, and compliance risk before payroll runs.
  • Investigate complex payroll issues, resolve them, and correct the root cause.
  • Partner with HRIS, IT, Finance, Accounting, Tax, Legal, and plant leadership on system releases, testing, integrations, acquisitions, and process changes.
  • Apply automation and AI-enabled tools to improve accuracy, efficiency, and employee experience within privacy and compliance requirements.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Human Resources, or a related field.

Experience

  • 8+ years of progressively responsible multi-state U.S. payroll and timekeeping experience, including payroll service delivery in a shared services, outsourced, or vendor-managed model.
  • Hands-on Workday Payroll experience — required.
  • Hands-on UKG/Kronos Workforce Management experience — required.
  • Payroll tax compliance, wage and hour regulations, garnishments, deductions, reconciliations, payroll accounting, and audits.
  • Payroll system implementations, upgrades, integrations, or process transitions.
  • Preferred: large hourly manufacturing or industrial workforce experience; CPP certification; SOX control environment.

Functional / Technical Skills

  • Expert knowledge of U.S. federal, state, and local payroll regulations.
  • Advanced proficiency in Workday Payroll and UKG/Kronos.
  • Advanced payroll accounting — reconciliations, general ledger impacts, funding, and controls.
  • Strong analytical skills; identifies anomalies and performs root cause analysis.
  • Uses AI, automation, and reporting tools effectively while protecting compliance and data privacy.
  • Influences stakeholders and leads cross-functional initiatives without direct authority.
  • Advanced Excel and reporting capability.
  • Clear communicator and project manager; works effectively across cultures, functions, and sites.

Why it works

3×

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.
