Key Responsibilities

This role is the guardian of the company’s largest expense: its people. You will manage a high-volume, dual-stream payroll environment that requires both surgical precision in calculation and a "detective" mindset for financial controls.

1. In-house Payroll Management

• Own the full payroll cycle (pre-closing to payment) for local employees.

• Calculate gross-to-net salaries, social charges, and tax liabilities (BPS, IRPF, IRNR).

• Validate external payroll data and ensure 100% accuracy before processing.

• Prepare journal entries and ensure alignment with Accounting and Treasury.

2. Remote & International Compensation

• Manage end-to-end payroll for remote teams, including reimbursements and fee calculations.

• Oversee multi-method payments (bank transfers and digital wallets) for global disbursements.

• Perform final payroll audits and communicate status company-wide.

• Automate and streamline processes using salary macros and reporting tools.

3. Financial Control & Reconciliation

• Execute rigorous mid-cycle and final payroll audits.

• Reconcile payroll accounts, ensuring all payments match ledger and bank records.

• Manage off-cycle adjustments and resolve discrepancies promptly.

4. Payroll Reporting & Forecasting

• Prepare monthly payroll projections to support Finance planning.

• Present monthly payroll reports, including spend, capitalization, and compliance insights.

Requirements

• Mathematical Accuracy: Exceptional ability to handle complex formulas for remote fee structures and local tax brackets.

• Audit mindset: You don't just "input" data; you "control" it. You must be able to spot anomalies in large datasets before they reach the payment stage.

• Process Documentation: Ability to manage "Salary Macros" and maintain the logic behind these tools to ensure continuity.

• English: Upper intermediate
