Payroll Manager

We are seeking an experienced Payroll Manager to lead a remote payroll function for a large, multi-location organization. This role oversees a team of payroll professionals and is responsible for accurate, timely payroll delivery across a complex environment with both unionized and non-union employees. The successful candidate will provide day-to-day leadership, set clear expectations, and help build a more structured and consistent payroll operation. This includes managing payroll activity across multiple sites, supporting employees in different provinces, and working through issues tied to collective agreements, deductions, premiums, overtime, benefits, and retroactive adjustments. Experience with modern payroll and workforce systems is important, along with the ability to improve processes, controls, reporting, and service standards. This position involves close collaboration with HR, Finance, Labour Relations, Operations, and site leaders to resolve payroll questions, address escalations, and maintain compliance with applicable legislation, internal policies, and negotiated terms. The manager will also review reconciliations, remittances, audits, and year-end activities, while identifying ways to reduce manual work and improve efficiency. Senior-level reporting and handling confidential employee data are also key parts of the role. Applicants should have strong payroll management experience in a high-volume, multi-site setting and a proven track record of leading and developing a team.
