Position Overview
We’re looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist with a staffing industry background to join our fast-paced, collaborative, and fun Operations team!


In this role, you’ll work closely with the Operations Manager to keep payroll running smoothly for a high-volume workforce.

Just as importantly, we’re looking for a true team player who brings a positive attitude, jumps in when help is needed, and enjoys working with others to solve problems. We work hard, move quickly, and believe that getting the job done and having fun can—and should—go hand in hand.


In addition to owning key payroll responsibilities, you’ll assist with employee onboarding and other operational projects as our team and business continue to grow.
