Implementation Analyst II (Payroll Integrations)

Client-Facing | Project-Driven | Mid-Senior Level

About Us

We are a fast-growing benefits technology organization partnering with mid-market and enterprise employers across the U.S. to solve complex data and administration challenges. Our platform connects HR, payroll, and vendor systems to streamline eligibility, deductions, compliance, and ongoing plan management. We operate with a “work anywhere” mindset, value long-term client relationships, and are continuing to expand due to increased demand for our services. Our team culture emphasizes collaboration, accountability, and a genuine commitment to doing right by clients and partners.

About The Role

We’re looking for a technically strong, client-facing Analyst who can build data integrations from the ground up and guide customers through onboarding. This isn’t a heads-down processing role...this position engages directly with clients, gathers requirements, and translates them into fully functioning payroll and benefits data feeds.

You’ll work on multiple concurrent implementation projects, partnering closely with internal teams and external vendors to ensure every file is configured accurately and launched on schedule. Success in this role requires both analytical skill and professional polish.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own end-to-end development of new data exchanges, including requirements gathering, build, testing, launch, and transition to ongoing support.
  • Lead calls with clients and vendor partners to uncover needs, clarify file logic, and capture specs.
  • Build new payroll deduction and HRIS data feeds, including field mapping and data validation.
  • Apply programming-style logic (e.g., conditional mapping, transformation rules) to large, complex datasets.
  • Coordinate with internal project managers and configuration teams to ensure timelines and requirements are aligned.
  • Document technical specifications, file layouts, transfer protocols, and testing results.
  • Identify issues quickly and drive resolution across internal and external teams.
  • Support quality assurance efforts and contribute to continuous process improvements.
  • Serve as the primary connection between client stakeholders and internal resources throughout the onboarding lifecycle.
  • Ensure a smooth handoff into steady-state operations with complete documentation and issue resolution.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree preferred
  • 4+ years working in data integrations, HR / payroll connectivity, SaaS onboarding, or file-based implementation work
  • Hands-on experience building payroll files or similar data feeds...not just maintaining existing ones
  • Experience working with XML-based integrations (XSLT, XPath, or similar transformation technology); familiarity with JavaScript or other coding languages is a plus.
  • Experience building or maintaining file-based interfaces (e.g., CSV / flat files) between HR, benefits, payroll systems, and external vendors.
  • Strong ability to read and implement complex conditional logic and mapping tables (e.g., deriving vendor codes from plan IDs, coverage levels, and plan classes).
  • Comfort working with dates and numeric calculations related to payroll or benefits (effective dates, term dates, contribution amounts).
  • Ability to analyze input and output files to troubleshoot why particular records appear, change, or are suppressed.
  • Ability to understand and apply programming-style logic in a non-software engineering role
  • Experience working directly with clients - comfortable leading calls and translating requirements
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple workstreams with overlapping deadlines
  • So, if you're interested in joining a well-established industry leader with incredible opportunities for growth, apply today!
