Payroll Generalist

Tired of the 9-to-5 grind? Imagine a World without borders, where opportunities are endless. That’s the future of work, and we’re building it at WorkMotion. Our all-in-one HR platform makes it easy to hire and manage global teams, ensuring compliance and streamlining processes. So whether you’re a digital nomad or a remote-first company, we’ve got you covered. Ready to join the future of work? Let’s build something amazing together. As we value work-life balance, please apply only if you’re based within 2 hours of the Central European Time Zone.

Our Partners & Contractors Management Experience team is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated professional to join us as a Payroll Generalist, supporting day-to-day coordination and ensuring the smooth execution of operational payroll tasks. This role is ideal for someone looking to grow their career in global HR operations through hands-on experience in a well-structured team.

This is not a traditional payroll job—and we’re not looking for someone with a payroll background. We’re looking for someone with the right mindset, ambition, and capability to break into a new field and add value fast.

What you will do as a Payroll Generalist…

You’ll be responsible for managing and processing all payroll-related administrative data across the full cycle. This includes:

Collecting and submitting monthly inputs to our payroll partners
Validating payroll outputs to ensure accuracy before release
Managing all post-payroll tasks such as invoice processing, reporting, and client billing support
Processing partner invoices and entering them accurately in our systems
Using payroll data to assist in compiling WorkMotion client invoices
Resolving payroll-related queries with partners and responding to clients and employees
Ensuring all tasks are delivered on time and to a high standard
Monitoring KPIs and SLAs, investigating non-compliance, and driving improvements
Completing monthly service measure data
Supporting ad hoc requests and team initiatives
We pride ourselves on accuracy, accountability, and timely delivery. You’ll be expected to take full ownership of your work, manage your time independently, and ensure everything is delivered to a high standard—without hand-holding.

This isn’t a repetitive admin job. It’s a chance to learn payroll from the ground up, work in a fast-paced, evolving environment, and gain exposure to international processes. But you need to be ready to work hard, learn fast, and take initiative.

Requirements

Confident working with spreadsheets, formulas, systems, and data
