## About the role

Giga is hiring a Sr. Manager, Total Rewards & Payroll to be the first dedicated owner of the employee rewards stack: payroll, benefits, compensation, and equity administration. Today, payroll sits inside a busy accounting team, benefits and compensation work is spread across People and Finance, equity administration sits with external counsel, and no single person is accountable for the whole system. You will change that.

## What they're looking for

- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of payroll for a multi-state workforce, including hands-on processing, corrections, garnishments, and year-end. You have personally run payroll, not just overseen a vendor
- Strong payroll controls and compliance fundamentals: reconciliations, multi-state tax coordination, approval and segregation rules, year-end processing, and audit-ready records working alongside accounting
- Working depth in benefits administration: enrollment, eligibility, broker or vendor management, renewals, employee issues, and utilization, not just plan selection
- Systems fluency with modern payroll and HRIS platforms such as Rippling or comparable tools, including configuration, reporting, and data quality
- Discretion and judgment with sensitive employee and compensation data, and clear, direct communication with employees, executives, and vendors
