Responsibilities:
- The Tax Compliance Integrity Team is responsible for validating that all compliance changes implemented by the Execution and Development teams perform correctly, accurately, and completely before those changes are submitted to the independent QA team for final production sign-off.

Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of experience in payroll tax compliance
- Solid working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax regulations, filing requirements, payment rules, and reporting standards

- Ability to read and interpret system requirements documents and acceptance criteria and translate them into executable test scenarios
- Clear and precise written communication skills, particularly in documenting defects, test results, and compliance findings
- Proven ability to collaborate constructively across cross-functional teams, including in situations involving defects or disputed findings
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and completeness
- Ability to manage multiple testing assignments across multiple jurisdictions in a deadline-driven environment
