Payroll Manager

Are you a hands-on payroll expert who leads with heart, technical excellence, and a growth mindset?

At Mosaic, we are looking for a Payroll Manager who brings the perfect balance of strong people leadership and deep, technical payroll expertise. This is a 100% remote position, but it isn't a role where you just delegate from afar—you’ll be actively engaged in our day-to-day payroll operations while coaching, empowering, and developing a high-performing team.

If you are a relational leader who thrives on solving complex tax and compliance challenges, driving continuous process improvement, and guiding teams through system and regulatory changes, we’d love to connect with you!

What You’ll Do

• Lead & Develop: Serve as a relational, service-oriented leader. Hire, coach, and build accountability within your team while cultivating a supportive, highly engaged work environment.
• Drive Full-Cycle Payroll: Direct and execute full life cycle multi-state payroll processing, off-cycle pay runs, garnishments, and audits to ensure timely and accurate execution.
• Own Tax & Compliance: Act as the subject matter expert on complex payroll tax and regulatory requirements. Directly prepare and manage in-house payroll tax filings, reconciliations, year-end processing, and tax notice resolutions.
• Innovate & Improve: Approach challenges with a growth mindset. Analyze systems and workflows to improve processes, prevent recurring issues, and lead functional testing/system upgrades (PeopleSoft).
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with Accounting, Finance, HR, and Operations to resolve discrepancies, ensure wage/hour compliance, and align payroll processes with organizational needs.
