🌍 100% Remote, USD competitive salary, paid time off, and more.
This role is the guardian of the company’s largest expense: its people. You will manage a high-volume, dual-stream payroll environment that requires both surgical precision in calculation and a "detective" mindset for financial controls.
1. In-house Payroll Management
Own the full payroll cycle (pre-closing to payment) for local employees.
Calculate gross-to-net salaries, social charges, and tax liabilities (BPS, IRPF, IRNR).
Validate external payroll data and ensure 100% accuracy before processing.
Prepare journal entries and ensure alignment with Accounting and Treasury.
2. Remote & International Compensation
Manage end-to-end payroll for remote teams, including reimbursements and fee calculations.
Oversee multi-method payments (bank transfers and digital wallets) for global disbursements.
Perform final payroll audits and communicate status company-wide.
Automate and streamline processes using salary macros and reporting tools.
3. Financial Control & Reconciliation
Execute rigorous mid-cycle and final payroll audits.
Reconcile payroll accounts, ensuring all payments match ledger and bank records.
Manage off-cycle adjustments and resolve discrepancies promptly.
4. Payroll Reporting & Forecasting
Prepare monthly payroll projections to support Finance planning.
Present monthly payroll reports, including spend, capitalization, and compliance insights.
Mathematical Accuracy: Exceptional ability to handle complex formulas for remote fee structures and local tax brackets.
Audit mindset: You don't just "input" data; you "control" it. You must be able to spot anomalies in large datasets before they reach the payment stage.
Process Documentation: Ability to manage "Salary Macros" and maintain the logic behind these tools to ensure continuity.
