About the role
A strategic operations leader who balances deep regulatory rigor with a commercial, growth-oriented mindset. You view payroll and tax implementation as a strategic asset that accelerates growth channels and enables GTM success. You bridge the gap between complex tax compliance and commercial scalability, ensuring operational excellence becomes a competitive advantage.
What they're looking for
- Serve as the strategic commercial partner to GTM teams, transforming implementation into a competitive advantage that accelerates deal closure and time-to-revenue
- Architect scalable implementation frameworks that operationalize complex tax and compliance requirements, removing friction for sales and enhancing the client experience from day one
- Lead complex client migrations and platform transitions, managing risk with high-fidelity operational rigor while proactively advocating for client-centric, commercially viable solutions
- Define and execute the operational playbook for new growth channels, ensuring that compliance and regulatory standards act as a foundation for, rather than a barrier to, commercial velocity
- Collaborate with Product and Sales leadership to turn operational complexity into clear, compelling value propositions, fostering client trust through predictable, high-accuracy transitions
- Ensure accurate quarter and year-end processing including federal, state, and local tax reconciliations, W-2/1099 issuance, and audit-ready documentation
