Are you an experienced payroll professional who thrives on accuracy, confidentiality, and building strong relationships with employees? We’re looking for a Payroll Administrator & Benefits Coordinator (80/20) to join our team and ensure our employees are paid correctly and on time while receiving the benefits they deserve.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, people-focused professional who enjoys both the technical aspects of payroll/benefits administration and the interpersonal side of assisting employees with their questions and needs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Maintain payroll and benefit records, ensuring compliance with policies, procedures, and regulations.

  • Manage employee onboarding and offboarding for payroll and benefits.

  • Coordinate annual open enrollment for healthcare and other benefits.

  • Communicate with third-party benefit administrators and prepare payments/remittances.

  • Prepare required reports, including taxes, garnishments, unemployment, and compliance filings.

  • Assist with audits and state-mandated reporting.

  • Partner closely with the Chief Human Resource Officer on payroll and benefits-related matters.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 3–5 years of hands-on payroll experience (multi-state experience a plus).

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience with integrated payroll/HRIS systems.

  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and math aptitude.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and resolve employee issues effectively.

  • Payroll certification (FPC, CPP, or similar) a plus.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a collaborative team in a supportive environment.

  • Play a critical role in ensuring employees are paid accurately and supported in their benefits.

  • Opportunities to contribute to continuous improvement in payroll and benefits processes.

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.

If you’re a payroll professional who values accuracy, service, and teamwork, we’d love to hear from you.
