• 5+ years of experience in payroll and HR operations with strong exposure to HRIS and payroll platforms such as ADP, Workday, Paycor, Paylocity, UKG, Ceridian, or similar systems.
• Proven experience in system configuration, implementation, optimization, or transition projects, ideally within complex or multi-entity environments.
• Strong understanding of payroll processes, taxation rules, and compliance requirements across different jurisdictions.
• Prior client-facing or consulting experience is strongly preferred, with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple client projects independently.
• Experience in industries such as construction, manufacturing, or other complex payroll environments is considered a strong advantage.

• Part-time, flexible consulting arrangement with remote work from any location.
• Opportunity to work with diverse clients and complex payroll and HR systems across multiple industries.
