Требования

The Director, Payroll Business Lead is the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for the successful execution of the Payroll FY27 plan . You own the outcome — the bookings, the LTV, the margin trajectory, and the decisions that get us there.
You are a business owner first with strong General Management instincts. You treat Payroll as a P&L and a growth engine to run, not a function to coordinate. You are comfortable setting commercial strategy, informing the pricing decisions, and getting into the operational detail when the numbers are off track. You thrive in creation environments where product, pricing, and operating models are still taking shape, and you bring the structure, discipline, and financial rigor to scale the business profitably. You lead through ownership and influence rather than headcount, and you are trusted to run a business line and deliver its results.
You will report to the leader with oversight of our Acquisition System and Payroll business line, in the CMO organization. 
Minimum 10 years of professional experience, with a track record of owning a business line, P&L, or comparable end-to-end commercial outcome.
Demonstrated experience as a co-founder, General Manager, DRI or business owner — personally accountable for revenue, margin, or growth, not solely program coordination.
Experience in SaaS, fintech, B2B services, or other regulated or operationally complex environments preferred.
High business and financial acumen; fluency with P&L, unit economics, LTV/CAC, ARPC, and pricing and packaging.
Proven ability to set commercial strategy and drive it through execution across functions.
Strong analytical skills and familiarity with data tools (e.g., Excel, SQL).
Record of leading cross-functional initiatives to measurable outcomes through influence rather than direct authority.
Ability to succeed in an entrepreneurial, ambiguous environment and bring structure without slowing innovation.
Executive presence sufficient to represent a business line in leadership forums.
Strong sense of ownership and a focus on results and outcomes, not just process.
Unquestionable professional ethics, strong judgment, and commitment to excellence.
The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $240,000.00 - $263,500.00 per year.
