HR & Payroll Coordinator

Description

Most people only notice payroll when something goes wrong. The best payroll people take that as a compliment. You might be one of them if you audit a timecard twice, know your COBRA timelines by heart, and keep confidential things confidential without being asked. If that's you, we'd like to meet you.

The HR & Payroll Coordinator will run payroll and benefits and keep our employee records in order. You'll also help with everything from the first job posting to an employee's last day. Every employee here will count on your work, and they'll all know your name.
