Are you an experienced Payroll Manager looking for a role where your expertise directly contributes to a people-first culture? At Expel, we believe in fostering an environment where every employee feels valued, understood, and confident in their compensation. If you're passionate about making payroll seamless and transparent, and you thrive on improving processes, we want to hear from you.

As a global company with employees across the US, UK, and Ireland, we're seeking a Payroll Manager to elevate our payroll operations. The importance of this position cannot be overstated when it comes to ensuring our diverse "Expletive" crew (that's what we call ourselves!) is paid accurately and on time, while also making complex payroll information simple and easy to understand.

You'll be joining a team of thoughtful and collaborative individuals, partnering closely with our Employee Experience, Finance, and Sales Operations departments. This cross-functional collaboration will allow you to apply your expertise in processing payroll and educating our employees, ensuring a smooth and positive experience for everyone.


What Expel can do for you

  • Give you the opportunity to shine and take the creative leaps needed to improve payroll functionality
  • Surprise you with the capability of our team and our willingness to support your efforts
  • Ensure you get the support, mentoring, and feedback needed to make you successful

What you can do for Expel

  • Ensure we pay our people accurately and timely regardless of where the work is performed
  • Validate US payroll deductions are sent to our carriers after each payroll cycle (401k, FSA, DCA, & HSA)
  • Continuously review and update our Workday system integrations to ensure optimal performance
  • Provide operational support by leading and facilitating training, and crafting end user documentation
  • Design and build new reports
  • Add more humor to the day to day (we try not to take ourselves too seriously)

What you should bring with you

  • 6+ years of progressive payroll experience.
  • 2+ years working with Workday; specifically payroll, absence, benefits, and integrations. Bonus points if you have experience working with OSV Atmosphere, OSV Support, and/or OSV money movement services.
  • A meticulous attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and implementing process improvements.
  • Excellent customer service skills and a service mindset
  • Ability to lead multiple projects (with often shifting priorities) and multi-task in a fast-paced environment
  • Artistry to translate and shift communication styles between internal partners, including at the executive level, and external development resources to ensure clarity and consensus
  • Prowess to consistently manage timelines, communicate delays, and clarify ambiguous requirements (in other words, you set & meet expectations like a pro)
  • A college degree or a compelling story
