Job description

Description

The Payroll Manager owns end-to-end bi-weekly payroll for a workforce of 2,400+ employees spanning corporate, distribution center, and retail locations across multiple states. This is a high-ownership role requiring deep multi-state payroll and tax expertise, strong independent judgment, and the ability to lead processes with minimal oversight in a fast-moving environment.

This role is based in Acton, MA with a hybrid schedule; may consider additional flexibility for candidates outside a reasonable commuting distance from our corporate office.

What you'll do

  • Be a brand ambassador
  • Manage on-cycle and off-cycle multi-state payroll for 2,400+ employees, including adjustments, reversals, stop payments, and manual checks.
  • Prepare and file federal, state, and local payroll tax returns on weekly, quarterly, and annual schedules. Stay current on changing regulations across all operating states.
  • Manage all W-2 preparation, distribution, and related employee inquiries. Coordinate year-end reconciliation with Finance.
  • Conduct regular payroll audits and reconciliations. Analyze data to identify discrepancies and risks proactively. Support internal and external audit requests.
  • Collaborate with HR, Benefits, and Finance.
  • Respond to employee and manager inquiries with a strong service mindset. Maintain accurate employee payroll data, deductions, and changes.
  • Continuously evaluate payroll workflows and implement improvements to increase accuracy, efficiency, and scalability as the organization grows.

Who you are

  • 5+ years of payroll experience, including at least 3 years managing high-volume payroll for 2,000+ employees across multiple states.
  • Comfortable managing the full payroll cycle independently, including resolving issues proactively and without close supervision.
  • Proven ability to navigate varying state and local tax regulations, filing requirements, and compliance obligations.
  • Experience with Paycom or comparable platforms. Ability to leverage system capabilities for reporting, audits, and workflow efficiency.
  • Experience in retail, distribution, healthcare, construction, or another multi-site, multi-state environment strongly preferred.
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented with strong organizational skills. Handles confidential information with discretion and communicates clearly with employees and leadership alike.
