Payroll Specialist

Payroll Specialist

Location: Seattle
Salary: $30–$40/hour DOE

A growing and well-established organization in Seattle is seeking a Payroll Specialist to join their team and take ownership of a critical function that keeps the business running.

In a city where precision meets pace, this role sits at the center of it all — ensuring employees are paid accurately, on time, and with confidence. You’ll be the person everyone relies on when it comes to payroll accuracy, compliance, and consistency. If you take pride in clean data, tight processes, and being the one who “gets it right,” this is a role where your work will truly stand out.

What You’ll Do

• Process full-cycle payroll on a bi-weekly or semi-monthly basis

• Ensure accuracy of wages, deductions, and tax withholdings

• Maintain payroll records and support audits

• Handle payroll-related inquiries from employees

• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local payroll regulations

• Reconcile payroll accounts and assist with reporting

What You Bring

• 2+ years of payroll experience

• Experience with full-cycle payroll processing

• Knowledge of payroll laws and tax regulations

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills

• Proficiency in payroll systems and Excel

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive Seattle-market compensation

• High-impact role with ownership of payroll operations

• Stable organization with strong internal support

• Opportunity to contribute to process improvements and efficiency

If you’re looking for a payroll role where accuracy matters, your work is visible, and your skillset is valued, this is a strong next step.
