Are you a seasoned payroll pro who thrives in a complex, high-volume environment and loves leading a great team? We're partnering with a globally recognized, Fort Worth-based company — privately owned with 50+ years of success and 100+ locations across North America, Europe, and Asia — to find their next Senior Payroll Manager. This is a stable, well-resourced organization where payroll is taken seriously and your expertise will genuinely matter.

The Role

You'll own North America payroll end-to-end — managing in-house U.S. multi-state payroll while overseeing third-party providers in Canada and Mexico. You'll lead a payroll team, drive process improvements, ensure compliance, and serve as the go-to expert for auditors, government agencies, and vendors. Systems-wise, you'll be working with UKG/UltiPro, Varicent, and Kronos.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of progressive payroll experience, including multi-state U.S. payroll
  • 3+ years leading and developing a payroll team
  • Strong systems chops — Kronos required, UKG/UltiPro a major plus
  • Solid grasp of payroll tax compliance, journal entries, and reconciliations
  • CPP designation? Even better.

Why You'll Love It

This company genuinely invests in its people — competitive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k with match, HSA), tuition reimbursement, ongoing professional development, and a culture centered on community and giving back.

If you're ready to step into a highly visible role at a company with real staying power, we'd love to connect.
