О компании
- We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment of making music.

Обязанности
- is scaling fast, and payroll is becoming mission-critical as our headcount grows. As our first internal Payroll Accounting Manager, you'll own payroll processing and compliance end to end for a rapidly growing Series D company — bringing the function in-house, building the processes and controls it needs, and running it cleanly every cycle. Reporting to the Director of Accounting and partnering closely with the People team and our third-party payroll providers, you'll make sure every employee is paid accurately and on time while keeping us compliant across a growing footprint. You'll also bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI and automation to make payroll faster and more accurate. This is a hands-on, build-and-operate role for someone who wants to stand up the payroll function the right way and grow with it.
- Listen to the song we made about the role:
- Own end-to-end payroll processing across all pay cycles, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time.
- Manage compliance across federal, state, and local requirements — tax withholding and filings, wage-and-hour rules, garnishments, and year-end (W-2) processing.
- Partner closely with the People team on onboarding, compensation changes, benefits and equity-related payroll, and off-boarding.
- Manage third-party payroll providers and reconcile payroll to the general ledger, resolving discrepancies quickly.
- Build the policies, controls, and documentation that make payroll scalable, audit-ready, and self-service as the team grows.
- Bring AI and automation to payroll with the right guardrails — making it faster and more accurate so the people building the world's first Creative Entertainment platform are always paid right and on time.
Требования
- 5-7 years of payroll experience, including hands-on ownership of end-to-end payroll processing at a high-growth company and a passion for payroll.
- An extremely high level of discretion and ownership, capable of handling highly confidential and time sensitive matters.
- Deep knowledge of multi-state payroll compliance — tax withholding and filings, wage-and-hour rules, garnishments, and year-end reporting.
- Hands-on experience with payroll systems and third-party providers (e.g., Rippling, Gusto, ADP, Workday, or similar), including implementations or transitions.
- Strong payroll accounting skills — reconciling payroll to the GL and partnering on the monthly close.
- A demonstrated, measured use of AI and automation to make payroll faster and more accurate.
- A builder's mindset and aptitude for building — you'll set up, document, operate, and then automate, often with little existing infrastructure.
