A well-established, growth-oriented company is hiring a Payroll Specialist to join its People team. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys the detail work of payroll and wants to build out their cross-border experience.
About the Role
You'll report to the Manager overseeing Payroll & Benefits and take ownership of day-to-day payroll processing for a salaried and hourly workforce spanning Canada and several U.S. states. The job mixes hands-on processing with some exposure to benefits and retirement plan support.

What You Bring
A couple years of hands-on payroll experience, with solid grounding in Canadian payroll Some exposure to U.S. payroll is a bonus, not a must-have Comfortable in a payroll/HR software platform and time-tracking tools Good with spreadsheets and comfortable learning new systems Careful, detail-oriented, and trustworthy with sensitive information Able to juggle a few deadlines at once without things slipping A degree is nice to have but not required; payroll certifications are a plus
