Senior Payroll & Equity Specialist

You'll run the programs employees feel most directly: payroll, variable compensation, equity, and benefits, across every country, entity, and contractor arrangement we operate in. You'll bring order to a complex, distributed environment - building calendars, controls, and processes that make sure people get paid accurately and on time, every time. This is a hands-on role for someone who traces issues to the source rather than passing them along, and who builds systems other people can trust.

• Own end-to-end global payroll delivery for employees and contractors, ensuring payments, deductions, reimbursements, and changes are accurate, timely, compliant, and reconciled.
• Calculate and validate variable compensation and bonuses for executives and non-GTM employees, coordinating finalized inputs, payroll execution, controls, and reconciliation with the GTM variable-pay partner.
• Build and run a global payroll calendar with clear cutoffs, review cycles, approvals, funding timelines, and reimbursement service levels.
• Design and administer equity and long-term incentive programs - grants, vesting, exercises, terminations - maintaining accurate records and cap-table integrity in partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Own global benefits administration across markets, covering statutory and supplemental programs while balancing employee value, compliance, and cost.
• Monitor benefits utilization, market competitiveness, employee feedback, and spend; recommend changes supported by data.
• Own payroll and equity data integrity across BambooHR, Justworks, Remote, and Carta, including workflows, integrations, permissions, and reporting.
• Manage global employment operations, including EOR/PEO relationships from a payroll perspective, own provider governance - contracts, funding, service levels, reconciliations, escalations, and periodic performance reviews.
• Identify recurring failure points and manual work across these programs and implement sustainable fixes rather than workarounds.

At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function - from reconciliation and variance analysis to reporting and process documentation - and grow their fluency as the tools evolve.
