Senior Payroll Specialist

Full-time

eqbank

Join a Challenger

At EQ, we're remaking banking so every Canadian gets ahead, every day. Serving nearly 4 million Canadians from coast to coast, we offer a wide variety of financial services from banking and lending, to trust and credit union solutions. 

We've been at this since 1970, challenging the conventions of traditional banking with smarter, faster, and more connected financial experiences.

What's kept us moving? The people behind it all: challengers who ask better questions, push back on old assumptions, and look for a better way forward.

If you're driven to help reshape how banking works for Canadians and the businesses that power our economy, this could be your next big opportunity. 

We can’t wait to get to know you! 

Purpose of the role 

 

The Senior Payroll Specialist is a senior individual contributor and payroll operations lead responsible for delivering accurate, compliant, and well-controlled payroll across multiple Canadian legal entities in a modern, lean payroll operating model. 
This role goes beyond payroll processing. The incumbent is accountable for end-to-end payroll execution, payroll accounting, statutory compliance, audit readiness, control effectiveness, issue prevention, and continuous improvement. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, the Senior Payroll Specialist serves as the escalation point for complex payroll matters and partners closely with Finance, HR, Tax, Benefits, vendors, and leadership. 
The role is expected to identify risks before they result in payroll errors, perform root cause analysis when issues arise, implement sustainable corrective actions, and strengthen payroll processes through documentation, controls, automation, and proactive governance.
