Who We are:

At Wagepoint, we’re good people. Sure, maybe we’re biased. But that’s only because Wagepointers bring the best versions of ourselves to do some of the best work in our careers.

We’re an authentic team who bring our diverse backgrounds, ideas, experiences and cultures together to make payroll magic. Speaking of, we “pull rabbits out of hats” for thousands of small business owners across Canada who rely on our payroll software to pay their employees and process their payroll taxes. And we’re just getting started.

We’re growing and looking for more awesome people to join our merry band of misfits. We are looking for people who share our understanding that when it comes to our commitment to our customers: we mean business. Especially given that the consequences of getting payroll wrong can sometimes be dire.

If you are the kind of person who has always wanted to make a difference and be heard at work, Wagepoint will give you plenty of opportunity to do just that.

The Role at High Level:
We’re looking for a talented Payroll Compliance Lead who doesn’t shy away from tackling complex compliance challenges in the payroll and HR technology space. You will lead the charge in ensuring that Wagepoint’s payroll software stays compliant with all relevant federal and provincial regulations. You’ll report directly to our VP of Product and collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Customer Support teams to keep compliance top of mind across the organization.

What You'll Be Expected To Own:

  • Ensuring Regulatory Compliance in Product Features: You’ll be responsible for ensuring that all product features comply with current federal and provincial payroll regulations. This includes owning the compliance process from end to end, from regulatory research to implementation support.
  • Leading Compliance-Focused Product Development Initiatives: You will initiate and lead projects that ensure our payroll software not only meets but stays ahead of industry compliance standards. This means working closely with cross-functional teams to embed compliance into product development.
  • Collaborating on User Communication for Compliance Updates: Communication is key! You’ll ensure that our users are always well-informed of compliance-related changes by developing user-friendly communication strategies and updating user guides.
  • Maintaining Tax Engine Updates: You’ll make sure our Canadian tax engine remains up-to-date with the latest regulatory guides, working closely with Development and QA teams to implement these changes effectively.
  • Auditing and Automating Payroll Calculations: You’ll regularly audit seed data and automate payroll calculations in the tax engine to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
  • Managing Payroll Documentation: Documentation is your secret weapon. You’ll create comprehensive payroll documentation and guidelines for both common and edge use cases and work closely with the engineering team to translate these requirements into automated tests

What You Bring To The Table:

  • 5+ years of experience in the payroll domain.
  • Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) designation.
  • You have experience in a B2B SaaS environment (ideally Humi, Intuit, Wave, ADP, Ceridian etc.)
  • Strong understanding of Canadian payroll legislation and tax regulations.
  • You’ve worked with cross-functional product and engineering teams to develop features in software apps..
  • Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree.
  • You’re passionate about automation and efficiency improvements.

What We Bring To The Table:

  • Impact: Roll up your sleeves and directly contribute to the growth and success of Wagepoint by shaping our workforce.
  • Culture: The opportunity to work with the world’s friendliest team, solving interesting problems together with an endless amount of laughter (We work hard, but we always have time for a bad joke or two).
  • Growth: Opportunities for professional development and career advancement - we are always, always learning with a growth oriented mindset.
  • Innovation: Work in an environment that encourages creativity and new ideas.
  • Remote: The ability to work from home, forever! Wagepoint is a remote company, so you don’t have to worry about commuting to an office. Plus, more time with your pets is always a bonus!
