- Experience with payroll implementations, process optimization, and automation.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to resolve complex payroll issues.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining payroll concepts to various stakeholders.

Requirements
- This role combines hands-on payroll processing with strategic SME responsibilities, ensuring both compliance and efficiency in payroll operations.
Working Model
This position is in the Local Country Team. Our payroll operations are supported by a collaborative working model that combines centralized and local expertise. The centralized teams are responsible for handling the main payroll processing, adhering to a standardized workflow across all regions. The local country teams provide training, guidance, and support to the centralized teams, while focusing on client-facing tasks. Local teams lead implementations, configure payroll engines, conduct final reviews and signoffs, manage local payroll submissions, and address client inquiries. Although the local teams hold senior positions and work closely with the centralized teams, the latter maintain their own standardized processes and do not report directly to the local teams. This approach ensures both efficiency and high-quality service delivery.

Overview
We Measure Success by Results, Not Hours Worked. No timesheets. At GoGlobal, we give you the autonomy to make decisions that create real impact. We prioritize results over hours worked, focusing on quality of outcomes rather than tracking time.
As a privately owned company, we are free from the pressures of venture capital or private equity investors demanding exponential growth in unreasonable time frames. Sometimes, things just take time to do well. In our business, delivering great results is a process - and we're committed to doing it right.
We are not for sale. We believe that financial success is a natural outcome of our work, not the primary goal. Unlike many investors who view money as a goal, our focus is on long-term growth and sustainable success.
We are a global team, built for those who want to go further. Here's what your career at GoGlobal looks like:
- A company small enough for your voice to be heard meaningfully, yet large enough to make a global impact
- Collaborating with a diverse, global and supportive team
- Built for the long-haul - no VC or PE pressure, just a focus on sustainable growth

- Our hybrid partnership-corporate model offers all employees the opportunity to become a partner, while maintaining a streamlined corporate structure so that decisions are made quickly.
- We do not offer equity plans.
- As we are not for sale and are not chasing an exit, "stock options" hold little value in our business model. Instead, we provide opportunities for outstanding employees to make partner and share in the profits. We believe it’s better to build lasting value than to chase a one-time payout.
- We prioritize organic and sustainable growth.
- We're global. We offer career opportunities across the world-whether it's new job roles or international locations.
- English is our official language, but for many, it's our second language.
- We embrace this and find it rewarding communicating with colleagues from all over the world.
- We are not a family. We operate more like a high-performing sports team where each individual's contribution is crucial to our collective success.
