About the Team & Department

The Payroll team at AGC Biologics consists of five dedicated professionals and operates within the Finance Department and in close collaboration with People and Culture (P&C).

Key responsibilities include financial planning, resource allocation, monitoring financial performance, and delivering timely fiscal status reports.

As a Payroll Manager, reporting to the Finance VP, you will lead and oversee the payroll function, ensuring accurate and timely payroll processing in compliance with company policies and external regulations.

Your Primary Tasks Will Be

  1. Oversee payroll operations, ensuring accurate preparation, calculation, and disbursement in compliance with legal and company standards.

  3. Ensure compliance with payroll regulations and tax laws; stay updated on legislative changes and validate payroll reports for accuracy.
  4. Resolve complex payroll issues and discrepancies, implementing solutions to improve processes and prevent recurrence.
  5. Manage and optimize payroll systems, ensuring accurate processing and data integrity; collaborate with IT on upgrades and improvements. (Proficiency in Visma and Promark systems is essential for success in this role.)
  6. Analyze payroll metrics to identify and drive improvements that align with organizational goals.
  7. Collaborate with P&C and Finance to align payroll with business processes and support cross-functional initiatives.
  8. Lead and develop the payroll team, fostering a culture of performance, collaboration, and professional growth.

Leadership Skills
