About the Role:
We're looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Global Payroll Specialist to join Zone's People Strategy team. Reporting directly to the Director of Global Payroll & Total Rewards, you'll own end-to-end payroll processing across four countries — the UK, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Australia — while supporting oversight of several Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements through our partner, Remote.
This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of payroll operations, compliance, HRIS, and benefits. You'll collaborate closely with Finance, Legal, and People team members across time zones, and occasionally cross-train with your US-based payroll counterpart to build organizational resilience and shared expertise.
If you're someone who thrives on getting the details right, appreciates the complexity of multi-country compliance, and wants a role with real ownership and room to grow, we'd love to hear from you!
What you'll do:
Payroll processing & compliance
- Process accurate and timely payroll for employees in the UK, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Australia on a monthly cycle
- Monitor and audit payroll activity across EOR-managed employee populations via Remote, ensuring data accuracy and flagging discrepancies in a timely manner
- Stay current on statutory changes across all jurisdictions — including tax rates, leave entitlements, and reporting obligations — and implement updates proactively
- Manage year-end activities for each country, monthly reporting, and maintain vendor relationships, ensuring accuracy and on-time submission
Controls & reporting
- Proactively perform payroll reconciliations and prepare GL journal entries to support month-end close in partnership with Finance
- Maintain thorough payroll documentation to support internal audit readiness under ISO and SOC 2 frameworks
- Produce regular payroll reports and variance analyses for Finance and People leadership
HRIS & systems
- Serve as a functional owner of the HRIS-to-payroll workflow from BambooHR to Remote, verifying data accuracy and ensuring trust in system source of truth
- Support configuration improvements, data integrity projects, and integrations between BambooHR and downstream systems
- Partner on HRIS improvement initiatives and testing cycles as the People team evolves its tech stack
Benefits & employee experience
- Support the administration of country-specific benefits, including enrollment changes, vendor coordination, and employee education
- Develop familiarity with global benefits programs to serve as a resource for the larger HR team and cross-functional projects
- Handle employee-related inquiries with care, accuracy, and appropriate urgency
Cross-functional collaboration
- Cross-train with the US Payroll Specialist to build shared operational knowledge and support continuity
- Maintain strong working relationships with tax agencies, local payroll vendors, and EOR partners
- Contribute to policy documentation and process improvement projects as the team scales, actively exploring how AI tools can reduce manual lift, improve accuracy, and free up capacity for higher-value work
What You'll Need:
- 4+ years of experience in payroll, with meaningful hands-on exposure to at least two of our four target countries (UK, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Australia)
- Working knowledge of country-specific payroll regulations, including PAYE/RTI, Dutch wage tax, Czech social and health insurance contributions, and Australian STP and superannuation
- Experience working with or alongside EOR providers (Remote system experience is a plus)
- Skilled in BambooHR or a comparable HRIS; able to identify data issues and partner on system improvements
- Strong data and reconciliation skills — you catch errors before they become problems through incredible eye for detail
- Able to manage competing deadlines across time zones without losing the details
- Clear, professional communicator who can translate payroll complexity for non-payroll audiences
- Naturally collaborative, with a high bar for accuracy and discretion
Nice to Have:
- Experience with SOC 2 or ISO audit support in an HR or payroll context
- Familiarity with global benefits administration
- Exposure to US payroll (helpful for cross-training purposes)
- Second European language proficiency
- CIPP or equivalent experience
