Senior Payroll Specialist
Why We Have This Role
As Qualtrics continues to scale globally, our payroll operations must be as innovative and reliable as our software. We are looking for a Payroll Specialist to ensure our 5,000+ employees across 25 countries are supported with precision. You will sit at the intersection of people and numbers, playing a critical role in major corporate milestones like M&A integrations and the launch of our new global payroll vendor. Working closely with Finance and HR leadership, you’ll help us build a world-class payroll function that thrives on accuracy and empathy.
How You’ll Find Success
- Meticulous Accuracy: You have a "measure twice, cut once" mentality, ensuring complex data across multiple currencies and tax laws is flawless.
- Analytical Curiosity: You don’t just move data; you enjoy using Excel (vlookups, pivot tables) to find patterns, conduct audits, and identify efficiencies.
- Collaborative Communication: You bridge the gap between different time zones and departments, creating trust through clear and proactive updates.
- Entrepreneurial Initiative: You understand the desired outcome and work independently to research evolving tax regulations or solve problems before they escalate.
- Adaptability: You thrive in a transformational environment, remaining calm and confidential while navigating the "scrappy" nature of a high-growth company.
How You’ll Grow
- Global Jurisdiction Expertise: Gain deep knowledge of payroll, tax, and labor laws across key APJ markets including Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, India, and Singapore.
- Systems Implementation: Participate in a major global payroll software rollout, giving you highly marketable technical implementation experience.
- M&A Exposure: Learn the complexities of corporate growth by assisting in the payroll and data integration of newly acquired companies.
Things You’ll Do
- Ensure Regional Operational Excellence: Support payroll operations for the APJ region to ensure 100% timely and accurate pay cycles.
- Drive Data Integrity: Maintain the "source of truth" for all employment records and verifications to ensure seamless internal reporting.
- Optimize Compliance: Conduct detailed audits of payroll, benefits, and long-term incentives to identify and implement corrective actions.
- Support Global Transformation: Actively contribute to the implementation of our new global payroll system and M&A integrations.
- Maintain Audit Readiness: Facilitate annual internal and external audits to ensure global compliance and risk mitigation.
What We’re Looking For On Your Resume
- Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, Finance, or a related field.
- Capability over Tenure: No prior experience required. 2+ years of experience; we highly value ambitious recent graduates with strong internship experience in HR or Finance.
- Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated experience with Microsoft Excel (specifically vlookups and pivot tables).
- Global Mindset: Experience or a strong interest in working with international teams and navigating diverse regulatory environments.
What You Should Know About This Team
- Collaborative Global Reach: You aren't just working in a silo; you are part of a tight-knit global team that supports every Qualtrics employee worldwide.
- High-Impact Milestones: This team is at the center of the company’s biggest moves, from acquisitions to system overhauls—your work will be visible to leadership.
- Growth-Obsessed: We believe in "passing the mic" and iterating. On this team, if you are ready for a new challenge, it will find you.
Our Team’s Favorite Perks and Benefits
- Qualtrics Experience Program: $1,800 annual stipend for an experience of your choosing (eligible after one year).
- Holistic Time Off: 30 paid days off (15 PTO, 5 Personal Days, and 10 Holiday Closures).
