  • Maintain current Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and ensure alignment with evolving business needs.
  • Stay up to date on changes in payroll legislation and communicate key updates to employees and business partners.
  • Lead with a focus on efficiency, innovation, and employee experience.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of payroll leadership experience in complex, multi‑entity organizations.
  • 5+ years managing union payroll, preferably within transportation, hospitality, or travel industries.
  • Proven experience leading the implementation of a new enterprise HR and payroll platform, driving data integrity, automation, and process improvement at scale.
  • Strong working knowledge of collective bargaining agreements and related compliance.
  • Expertise with cloud‑based payroll systems and HRIS platforms such as ADP, Kronos, Workday, or UKG.
  • Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace and project management tools.
  • Strong understanding of FLSA, wage and hour laws, and tax regulations.
  • Proven track record of developing high‑performing teams and scalable payroll operations.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • ADP experience is preferred.
  • Experience with Workday or UKG.
  • Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) designation.
  • Experience interpreting and implementing union agreements.
  • Experience leading payroll integrations following acquisitions or system migrations.
  • We Offer

  • Physical Health
  • Exceptional Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance benefits
  • Competitive compensation packages—including base salary, bonus, and benefits—along with unlimited PTO.
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Financial Wellness Tool
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Paid holidays
  • Pet & Legal Insurance
  • On‑the‑job training and skills development
  • Internal transfer opportunities for career growth
  • Benefits vary by position and location
  • WeDriveU is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment free of discrimination or harassment where thoughts and ideas of all employees are appreciated and respected. We value excellence and recognize that respecting the diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives of our workforce will sustain a competitive advantage and make us an employer of choice.
