## About the role

LiveKit's team is growing fast, in the US and around the world, and Finance is taking over payroll. You'll be the person who makes it run: every employee, every state, every country, every filing. Most senior payroll roles hand you a well-oiled machine and ask you not to break it. This one asks you to build it. You'll own US and international payroll, set up the calendar and controls, assist with month end close, and be the internal expert on anything that touches a paycheck. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience running both US and international payroll, including Canada and/or the EU
- Experience managing payroll tax filings directly, not just handing them off to a provider
- Experience with multi-state US payroll for a remote, distributed team
- Strong experience working within PEO and/or EOR structures
- Familiarity with startup-focused platforms such as Rippling, Deel, Remote, or similar
- Comfort working independently as the subject-matter expert, juggling many moving pieces and flagging tax, legal, and compliance risk before it becomes a problem
