## About the role

Partner with Finance Operations, who processes reimbursements; you decide what lands on a W-2 Equity administration across the full instrument set. Restricted stock and 83(b) mechanics, ISO versus NSO treatment and disqualifying dispositions, vesting and repurchase schedules, and reconciliation between a cap table system and payroll. You have administered more than one instrument type , and can steward an existing book while standing up a new one.

## What they're looking for

- Payroll tax mechanics at depth. Multi-state withholding and wage bases, supplemental rates, quarterly and annual filings, and what changes when a company leaves a PEO
- Fringe benefit and accountable-plan taxability. You can explain the three-part test and apply it to a relocation package without looking it up
- Controls instinct. You have designed or materially improved a payroll approval workflow. You do not process a file simply because someone sent it
- 8+ years in payroll operations, stock plan administration, or a blended People/Finance operations role at a company that grew through the 100 to 300 employee range. Two prerequisites within that:
- You have designed a payroll approval workflow, not only operated one
- You have been through a PEO exit or a payroll platform migration
