The opportunity: We're looking for a Global Payroll Manager to join our HR team at Envision Pharma Group. In this role, you'll be responsible for the accurate, compliant, and timely delivery of global payrolls. The Global Payroll Manager ensures payroll processing adheres to federal, state, and local requirements, maintains strong internal controls, and partners closely with Total Rewards, HR, and Finance to keep payroll accurate and audit-ready. This is a hands-on, technical role suited to someone who wants deep ownership of the US payroll function while gaining exposure to global payroll operations. We're open to candidates applying from either the US or UK; however, advanced experience with US payroll is an essential requirement.
