Job description

Central Payroll & HR Business Unit

Central is the first payroll & benefits back-office for startups that works like a teammate and proactively handles everything needed to run a compliant business. Unlike traditional payroll / HR software that forces you to do all the work, Central actually handles multi-state registrations, insurance, HR tasks, government mail, and everything else related to hiring & paying people.

We're on a mission to kill business bullshit so startups can fly. Building a company is still way too hard. Founders still have to register in multiple states to run payroll, set up workers' compensation, pay various payroll-related taxes, deal with intimidating government mail, update addresses across state filings, and troubleshoot with insurance companies. Imagine a world where ambitious founders have more time to solve the world's most difficult problemsfrom preventing medical mistakes in hospitals to building next-generation night vision to curing brain cancer. That's what founders on Central are doing.

Currently, hundreds of companies run on Central, and we're growing rapidly. We've raised a huge seed / A from YC and some of the best investors in the world (not announced yet, happy to share in private). As a founding member, you'll have a seat at the table and help Central scale to serve thousands of companies.

Central is a high-performance sports team with an extremely high bar and 3 core values :

  • Think clearly
  • Show high agency
  • Craft magic

  • Plus : HR / Payroll / Tax exposure or certification (e.g., SHRM, CPP, EA)
  • What you will do :

  • Own the success of Central's Payroll & HR business unit, including retention, customer satisfaction, and efficiency.
  • Build and optimize processes that make operations scalable, reliable, and efficient while removing any bottlenecks.
  • Run migrations and activation for new customers, ensuring a seamless user and operations experience
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Ops to shape strategy and execution as well as coming up with ideas for product enhancements.
  • Lead customer escalations and complex payroll / HR cases when needed, ensuring world-class service.
  • Stay ahead of regulatory and compliance requirements, ensuring processes meet high standards
  • What we offer :

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Comprehensive benefits : Medical, dental, vision, 401k (US employees only)
  • Unlimited PTO and sick leave
  • Remote work
  • 2-4 off-sites per year
