• This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Payroll/ Systems Consultant in the United States. This role is designed for a systems-savvy payroll and HR professional who enjoys improving how organizations run their HRIS and payroll platforms. You will work directly with clients to assess, optimize, and configure systems such as Paycor, Workday, ADP, Paylocity, and UKG. The position blends technical system configuration with hands-on payroll and HR operations expertise, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across client environments. You will act as a trusted advisor, helping organizations streamline complex payroll processes and improve overall system performance. The environment is highly collaborative, flexible, and consulting-driven, with a strong focus on client impact. This is a part-time, remote role that offers autonomy, variety, and meaningful project-based work.
• Accountabilities: Partner with clients to evaluate existing HRIS and payroll workflows, identifying inefficiencies and opportunities for system and process improvement, and translating business needs into optimized configurations. Configure, enhance, and support HR and payroll systems such as Workday, ADP, Paycor, Paylocity, UKG, and similar platforms, including system cleanups, redesigns, and optimization initiatives. Support system implementations, upgrades, and transitions, including setup, testing, validation of payroll components, and go-live readiness. Assist with payroll processing and troubleshooting, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, including complex multi-state or specialized payroll environments. Deliver client training, documentation, and ongoing support while serving as a key point of contact for system-related questions and issue resolution. Requirements: 5+ years of experience in payroll and HR operations with strong exposure to HRIS and payroll platforms such as ADP, Workday, Paycor, Paylocity, UKG, Ceridian, or similar systems. Proven experience in system configuration, implementation, optimization, or transition projects, ideally within complex or multi-entity environments. Strong understanding of payroll processes, taxation rules, and compliance requirements across different jurisdictions. Prior client-facing or consulting experience is strongly preferred, with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple client projects independently. Experience in industries such as construction, manufacturing, or other complex payroll environments is considered a strong advantage. Benefits: Part-time, flexible consulting arrangement with remote work from any location. Opportunity to work with diverse clients and complex payroll and HR systems across multiple industries.
