As Director of Finance Operations and Systems, you’ll:
- Lead Payroll Operations and Billing/Accounts Receivable; deliver weekly payroll and invoicing with <0.1% error rate.
- Manage a team of payroll and billing specialists (onshore and offshore).
- Design and own reconciliations across time → pay → bill → cash → general ledger by implementing automation, alerts, and internal controls.
- Translate business needs into system requirements by partnering with Engineering to scope, prioritize, test, and launch changes.
- Establish SOPs, runbooks, and QC sampling while instilling a culture of continuous improvement.
- Partner with the CFO on revenue recognition inputs, tax/filing calendars, and month-end close processes.
- Define and report weekly KPIs; conduct root cause analyses and drive corrective actions.
- Ensure compliance with labor laws, tax rules, and audit standards while improving efficiency.
Requirements

- A proven record of reducing defects and manual work through process re-design and systems improvements.
- Working knowledge of FLSA, multi-state payroll, overtime, garnishments, and reimbursements.
- Comfort with advanced applications of SQL/Excel and reading schemas—you can define data models, requirements, and tests (not just run reports).
- Strong program management and cross-functional skills; can align Ops, Engineering, Finance, and Client teams.
- Experience managing distributed/onshore-offshore teams and building scalable workflows.
You'll really stand out to us if you have:
- A blend of data engineering, finance, and operations experience.
- Experience scaling payroll and billing operations and systems in a fast-pace environment.

Company description
HireArt's mission is to make it easy for companies to build and manage a world-class contract workforce.
Today, mid-sized companies with contract workforces must navigate significant legal, financial, talent acquisition, and operational complexities to build and manage these workforces on a global scale. In most cases, they rely on a stack of point solutions: agencies to source and employ talent, a software system to track workers and agencies (VMS), and a service to provide day-to-day management of the program (MSP). The default contract workforce stack doesn’t provide much visibility into or control over the workforce, because the pieces of the stack don’t integrate well together, resulting in massive administrative headaches and frustration for companies.
HireArt’s delightful intersection of humans and software provide all of the tooling needed for mid-sized companies to hire contractors anywhere in the world compliantly, and contract workers to have as great an experience as full-time employees have day-to-day.
