Job Description
Senior Payroll Specialist owning GCC payroll operations for RemotePass, a global employment and payroll platform. Managing EOR partners, invoicing, funding, and employee payroll readiness.
Responsibilities:
- Own the monthly payroll cycle by collecting client inputs, sending them to partners, retrieving outputs and invoices, and delivering accurate client invoice breakdowns to Finance.
- Manage multiple EOR partners, set timelines, chase deliverables, and push back when needed.
- Review and reconcile partner invoices, payroll outputs, and immigration-related costs; identify and resolve errors before billing or payment.
- Plan payroll funding with Finance so partners receive funds before payday, accounting for cross-border transfer times.
- Resolve payroll discrepancies and employee queries, escalating blockers to the Team Lead early.
- Ensure banking details, payroll profiles, and visa and immigration requirements are ready before employees’ first pay run.
- Identify recurring partner issues and workflow gaps, collaborate with Product and Operations, and document scalable processes.
- Serve as the main point of contact for EOR partners and collaborate with Payroll, Finance, Employee Experience, Customer Success, and EOR Partnerships.
Requirements:
- 5 years+ in payroll operations, ideally including at least 2 years in an EOR or global payroll environment.
- A clear understanding of how EOR works: the partner is the legal employer, funds must reach them before payday, and timelines run backwards from there.
- Hands-on experience managing EOR partners or third-party payroll providers.
- Experience reviewing payroll outputs and payroll invoices for accuracy.
- Highly organised, able to prioritise when every deadline lands in the same week.
- Independent: you own your countries without needing every step checked.
- Advanced written and spoken English, with the ability to explain technical payroll topics in plain language.
- Willing to work Gulf Standard Time (Dubai) hours.
- Arabic, which is a strong plus.
- Payroll experience in the GCC or APAC, including visa and immigration costs.
- Experience in a high-volume, multi-client payroll environment.
- Experience with payroll platforms, HRIS, or operational systems.
Benefits:
- See every side of global payroll, from partner management and invoicing to funding and product, not just processing.
- Shape how payroll scales across the GCC, one of our highest-volume regions.
- Profitable, and still scaling fast. We reached profitability in 2025 and just raised a $17.4M Series B led by EBRD, with 500 Global joining. You get the pace of a scale-up with the stability of a business that works.
- Real global scale. We support 35,000+ workers in 150+ countries and have processed over $800M in cross-border payroll for companies like Logitech, Tata Group, and Careem.
- Big bets ahead. We’re expanding across Europe and the US, building financial products for distributed teams, and investing heavily in AI. There’s a lot to build, and room to grow with it.
- Remote-first, for real. We don’t just sell remote work, we live it. Work from anywhere.
- Inclusion matters. We value different perspectives and empower everyone to bring their authentic self to work.
