• Position is currently hybrid with some days in both North Chicago office and home office

Spotlight Call Notes:Most important thing is skill set of global mobility – looking for ex-patriate, expat payroll – the talent outside of the US. This talent, expat payroll/tax is what is needed.
Location: It is located in North Chicago at headquarters. We are recruiting locally in N. Chicago – do not want it to be a remote role. Have tried remote in the past and it has not worked.
Hybrid scheduled – three days in the office, two days at home.
Canadian payroll – Canadian is helpful, but really looking for individuals with multi-country payroll experiences –
Any specific countries – multi countries, Ireland, Germany, Singapore, there are 48 different countries that *** touches so is why we need multi-country payroll experiences
Ex-pat payroll – someone doing just US would not have the expat knowledge needed and we need this person to have this coming into the role so they do not have to train it.
Associates would be considered if in related fields, but bachelor is preferred.
Yetti Simon and Angie Byrne – initial interview.
Simonetta and Anna will be the final interview.
Specific years of experience – 3 to 5
Analyzing international global mobility payroll – expat payroll, not operationally doing payroll
Bachelor’s required, stellar candidate with AA is fine but must be a stellar candidate
Day to day work look like for a candidate – 40 hours/week, 8/day – 3 days in the office, 2 days from home. Analyzing payroll, doing tax equalizations, which is a specific tax calculation. Attending team calls, interacting with expat, explaining their payroll to them. Data analysts and working with the team and leadership of the team.
Workday is HRIS system, working in Workday, as well as the vendors platforms, various platforms. Assignment Pro is one of the tools, but doubt this would show on someone’s resume.
Do need someone who is a stellar user of Excel.
How large of a payroll – we have 180 – 200 ex pats that touch 48 countries. Beyond this, there are FTE relocations that touch the group as FTE’s moving from one country to another country – to provide different countries with the appropriate information for their payroll.
Possibility of extensions – yes, extensions. Annual funding for this position. Good to start on a six-month contract before determining extensions for them.
Mentioned earlier, really want this to be local to Chicagoland, very difficult to work on this engagement in a remote area. Really appreciate help to find someone locally.
If they want to relocate, that is fine.
Working hours – EST/PST/CST
Team works well together, lots of collaboration, team of 12 that works like a well-oiled machine. Wants someone who can be engaged, lean in and enjoy what they are doing. Complex calculations – and support people doing amazing things for people around the globe.
Really need the payroll and global tax, ex-patriate payroll, it is not just domestic payroll. Global mobility payroll are needed..... do NOT submit domestic payroll individuals – will not work.
Open to any industry experience – as long as they have global tax/payroll, ex-patriate experience and analytical in nature.
Spotlight Call Notes:Resumes to date, some are over-qualified, they are sitting in a Mgr/Dir role, it would be a stretch for a director to take on a GM Analyst role.
Other resumes that do not fit the role are financially heavy, but do NOT have the global mobility/ex-pat experience. Needs to be a local hire in the Chicago market.
If we have someone that is on the payroll firm, market clients experience, global experience, processed payroll in multiple countries, similar to an ADP corporation. Yes, would entertain this individual for sure.
Regarding over-qualification – it’s more when we get resumes that were/are directors/managers – this is more of an analyst work, more operational reporting into a payroll manager. We do not want someone overqualified, reports to Simon Yetty (Payroll Manager) and Angie Byrne (Tax Manager). They will be bored and not so interested in this type of position.
In terms of educational qualifications, MA is not needed. BA is appreciated. I would consider solid experience if working toward a bachelor's degree.
As far as pharmacy experience, - would be a plus, not a requirement.
Looking at JD, previous experience, two/three onsite. Local pool is limited. Three days is what we want this person to be able to do. We can provide some flex as it would not have to be three every week, but at minimum two and three in most weeks.
Shift time: Flex in start times (Yetty is in Irvine, CA PST). They could start later if they prefer, Angie starts at 7 CST. There is flex in the actual daily schedule.
Candidate based in NJ or CA, willing to work onsite in those locations, would you consider. We would consider CA, but not NJ. Pr
