Director of Payroll Services

Position Overview

Shaw Industries Group, Inc. is a leader in flooring and other surface solutions designed for residential housing, commercial spaces and outdoor environments. Leveraging strengths in design, innovation and operational excellence, the company takes a people-centered, customer-focused, and growth-minded approach to meet diverse market needs.

Headquartered in Dalton, Georgia, Shaw is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. with more than $5 billion in annual sales and approximately 18,000 associates worldwide.

Position Overview

This position would be located in Shaw Industries Global HQ office in Dalton Georgia. Shaw is open to candidates outside of the Dalton area and is willing to relocate candidates to the area.

Reporting to the Vice President of Total Rewards, the Director of Payroll Services is a strategic HR business leader and department head with full management authority within general policy guidelines and budgetary parameters established by the company. This leader provides enterprise-wide strategic and operational oversight for more than $1 billion in annual payroll supporting approximately 18,000 U.S. and international associates, while leading a team of 20+ employees and contractors and managing a multimillion-dollar operating budget.

As a trusted partner to HR, Operations, Finance, IT, Tax, Legal, Internal Audit, vendors, and executive leadership, the role leverages relational excellence to build trust, influence decisions, and foster alignment across the organization.

A forward-thinking leader, this role positions Payroll as a strategic, analytical, and technology-enabled enterprise function, not simply a transactional service.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
