  • Manage and mentor a team of consultants and managers across multiple engagements.
  • Review technical deliverables and ensure high‑quality client service.
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the team.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of Federal and State payroll taxation, payroll systems, equity compensation, fringe benefits, and worker classification rules.
  • Proficient in conducting research independently on complex tax topics.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship‑building skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for growing business and developing innovative solutions.
  • Experience with global mobility or international payroll tax issues.
  • Familiarity with Workday, ADP, or other payroll platforms.
