Global Payroll Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph about Genius Sports (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of the role. The posting includes "The Role We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Global Payroll Manager..." That's role description. Could be "About the role". Then "What You'll Do" with sub-sections: Leadership & Team Management, Payroll Operations, Payroll Systems Environment, Tax Expertise, Compliance & Controls, Process Improvement & Automation, Reporting & Analysis. Those are duties/responsibilities. Could be under "Responsibilities". Then "What You'll Bring" includes qualifications/experience/skills. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Then salary and benefits info: "The salary for this role is based on an annualized range of $110,000 - $130,000 USD. In addition to base salary, this role will be eligible to participate in Genius Sports variable compensation schemes, as well as our US benefits and 401k plans. We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location. As well as a competitive salary and range of benefits, we’re committed to supporting employee wellbeing and helping you grow your skills, experience and career. Learn more about how rewarding life at Genius can be at Reward | Genius Sports. One team, being brave, driving change We strive to create an inclusive working environment, where everyone feels a sense of belonging and the ability to make a difference. Learn more about our values and culture at Culture | Genius Sports. Let us know when you apply if you need any assistance during the recruiting process due to a disability."
We need to include Pay section if salary is stated. Yes salary range given. Benefits: mention US benefits and 401k plans, variable compensation schemes, office-first culture, hybrid working models, employee wellbeing, skill growth. That's benefits. So we can have Benefits section. Pay section: salary range. Schedule: maybe hybrid working models? Could be schedule info. The posting mentions hybrid working models differ depending on role and location. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation & Benefits" but instruction says use headings like Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We could include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections if they have real content. They do.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: "Learn more at geniussports.com." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's company description. Could keep as prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role
By bringing together next-gen technology and the finest live data available, Genius Sports is enabling a new era of sports for fans worldwide, delivering experiences that are more immersive, interactive and personalized than ever before. Learn more at geniussports.com. Join a central team that keeps Genius running smoothly - empowering product, tech, sales, and ops to focus on what they do best: driving the business forward. We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Global Payroll Manager to lead our international payroll operation. This role is pivotal in ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant payroll processing for all regions, while fostering a high-performing, collaborative team culture across borders.
Then Responsibilities: we can combine the bullet points under each subheading? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
with each duty as - . Could also keep subheadings inside
- ? Probably better to just list duties as
- items. But we have many duties grouped under headings. Could flatten them.
List duties:
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 5 regional payroll specialists; foster a unified team culture across time zones and geographies; drive performance, accountability, and continuous improvement; provide operational support by covering sickness and holiday leave for regional payroll specialists when required.
- Oversee end-to-end payroll processing for multiple countries, ensuring accuracy and compliance with local regulations; partner with Finance, HR, and external vendors to resolve payroll issues and optimize workflows; ensure timely submission of statutory filings and payments.
- Play a key role in the design of the to-be global payroll environment; manage the transition of payrolls from individual local providers to Workday native, in-house or global payroll providers, as per environment design, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence; support planning and readiness activities for potential future expansion of Workday Payroll to other global regions; partner with The People Team, Finance, and Technology teams to shape system design, testing, and implementation; champion change management and training efforts to ensure a smooth rollout and adoption across regions.
- Provide expert guidance on U.S. personal tax implications related to payroll, including federal, state, and local requirements; ensure compliance with U.S. tax regulations and support employees with tax-related queries and documentation; liaise with external advisors and internal stakeholders to manage complex tax scenarios.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of international payroll legislation and ensure adherence to all regulatory requirements; ensure payroll operations comply with SOX controls, including documentation, segregation of duties, and audit readiness; implement and monitor internal controls to safeguard payroll integrity; support internal and external audits with timely and accurate information.
- Identify opportunities for standardization and automation across payroll processes; lead or support system implementations and upgrades; collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline operations.
- Provide regular payroll reports and insights to senior leadership; monitor KPIs and drive data-informed decision-making.
That's a lot but okay.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: list items:
- Proven experience managing global payroll operations, ideally across Europe, North America, and South America.
- Strong understanding of international payroll regulations and compliance requirements.
- Deep expertise in U.S. personal tax regulations and payroll-related tax compliance.
- Demonstrated experience operating within SOX-controlled environments, with a strong grasp of audit protocols and control frameworks.
- Experience leading remote or geographically dispersed teams.
- Hands-on experience with Workday Payroll or involvement in Workday implementation projects.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.
Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll use "Requirements".
Then Pay: salary range.
Pay
The salary for this role is based on an annualized range of $110,000 - $130,000 USD.
Then Benefits: include variable compensation, US benefits, 401k, office-first culture, hybrid working models, employee wellbeing, skill growth, inclusive environment, values culture, disability assistance.
We can list as - ... maybe combine.
Benefits:
- Eligible to participate in Genius Sports variable compensation schemes.
- US benefits and 401k plans.
- Office-first culture with opportunities to collaborate, connect, and learn together.
- Hybrid working models (vary by role and location).
- Commitment to supporting employee wellbeing and helping you grow your skills, experience, and career.
- Inclusive working environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and ability to make a difference.
- Values and culture information available at Culture | Genius Sports.
- Assistance during recruiting process for disabilities available upon request.
We could also mention "Learn more about how rewarding life at Genius can be at Reward | Genius Sports." but that's maybe optional.
Schedule: maybe hybrid working models already covered; but we could have Schedule section referencing hybrid working models. However we already included hybrid working models in Benefits. Might be redundant. Could create Schedule section: "We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location." That's schedule.
But we already have office-first and hybrid in Benefits. Might be okay to keep Benefits only and not Schedule. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Pay, Benefits, and maybe Schedule into one "Compensation, Benefits & Schedule" but headings are prescribed. We could still include Pay and Benefits, and omit Schedule if its content is covered elsewhere. The posting does mention hybrid working models; that's schedule info. Could include Schedule section with that info.
Let's decide: include Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
Pay: salary range.
Benefits: variable compensation, US benefits, 401k, employee wellbeing, skill growth, inclusive environment, values/culture, disability assistance.
Schedule: office-first culture, hybrid working models.
But office-first culture is also a benefit? It's more about work arrangement. We'll put in Schedule.
Now ensure we don't repeat content. We'll need to avoid duplication.
Let's craft sections:
