Why This Opportunity Stands Out


This Payroll & Benefits Specialist opportunity is with a stable organization seeking a payroll professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in accuracy.



  • Highly visible role partnering with employees and leadership across the organization

  • Opportunity to become the payroll expert while expanding your knowledge of benefits administration

  • Stable company seeking someone looking for a long-term home

  • Strong, collaborative team with hands-on leadership

  • Competitive benefits package including 3 weeks of PTO


Key Responsibilities


As the Payroll & Benefits Specialist, you will:



  • Process payroll for a large employee population with a high level of accuracy

  • Audit payroll records, identify discrepancies, and ensure compliance with payroll regulations

  • Maintain payroll records and process employee payroll changes

  • Utilize advanced Excel to analyze payroll data and create reports

  • Support benefits administration and employee inquiries (training provided)

  • Partner with internal departments to ensure timely and accurate payroll processing


Qualifications


Ideal candidates for this Payroll & Benefits Specialist role will have:



  • 5+ years of payroll experience, preferably processing payroll for 800+ employees

  • Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables (Excel assessment required)

  • Experience auditing payroll and resolving payroll discrepancies

  • Strong tenure with previous employers and a commitment to long-term stability

  • Benefits experience is a plus but not required—payroll expertise is the priority


Why This Role?


This Payroll & Benefits Specialist position is ideal for someone who enjoys owning the payroll process and wants to join a stable organization where strong payroll expertise is highly valued. If you're looking for a long-term opportunity with a collaborative team and the chance to expand into benefits administration, this could be an excellent fit.
