Payroll/HRIS Specialist
location_onSouth Westlake Avenue, Westlake South, Westlake, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, 90006, United States
Job Description
Role Overview
This is a hands-on role at the intersection of payroll, HR systems, and people operations. You'll own the end-to-end payroll cycle across multiple states and serve as the go-to expert for our HRIS - keeping employee data clean, workflows efficient, and our systems scaling alongside our growth. You'll also play a critical role in keeping our kitchens compliant: tracking business licenses, permits, and renewals across every jurisdiction we operate in.
Just as importantly, this role helps make day-to-day people processes easier for managers and employees by reducing friction, answering questions clearly, and improving how work flows through our systems. If you love clean spreadsheets, hate manual work that should be automated, and take pride in making sure people get paid correctly, on time, and with as little friction as possible - this is the role for you. You'll be successful here if you bring both precision and a helpful, solution-focused approach to supporting managers and employees.
