Position Title: Global Payroll Manager
Work Arrangement: Remote - India
About The Role
As our company experiences rapid global expansion, we are restructuring our payroll function to build a world-class financial control environment. Moving out of HR and into Finance, the payroll engine requires an expert leader to design, implement, and run our end-to-end global payroll operations.
Reporting directly to the Corporate Controller, the Global Payroll Manager will own global payroll strategy, operational execution, data integrity, and internal controls across all operating jurisdictions (including the Philippines, Colombia, India, and Australia as well as future expansion regions).
You will serve as the bridge between HR (master data owners) and the accounting & finance team who will calculate and process payroll. Additionally, you will coordinate with outsource 3rd-party Payroll/Treasury providers in overseas locations who will support our payroll operations as we grow our regional presence in these locations. This role demands a hands-on payroll subject matter expert who can establish rigorous financial controls while working cross- functionally to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant pay execution worldwide.

outsourced overseas Payroll, Tax, and Treasury consultants to ensure accurate local filings, tax remittances, and statutory reporting.

- Financial Reporting & Treasury Integration
- General Ledger & Reconciliations: Ensure all payroll runs generate timely, accurate GL journal entries and labor cost allocations. Reconcile all payroll clearing accounts, tax liabilities, and benefit accounts in coordination with Finance.
