Are you a Senior Payroll Specialist looking for the next move in your career? An established Canadian organization seeks an experienced Payroll and Benefits Manager to oversee payroll operations and benefits administration for a national workforce. This is a great opportunity for a senior payroll professional ready to step into a leadership role and make a meaningful impact in a complex, multi-jurisdictional environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee full-cycle payroll for employees across multiple provinces and entities (union/non-union, hourly/salaried).
• Ensure payroll accuracy, compliance with legislation, and timely remittance of all third-party payments (e.g., CRA, unions, garnishments).
• Manage payroll system data, GL postings, reconciliations, and ad hoc reporting.
• Administer group benefits plans, lead annual renewals, and ensure compliance with policies and agreements.
• Act as the go-to resource for payroll-related inquiries and liaise with Finance, HR, and Operations teams.
• Prepare year-end payroll reconciliations, T4s, ROEs, and support budgeting efforts.
• Maintain and enhance payroll procedures and documentation to support scale and efficiency.

Ideal Candidate:

• 5+ years of experience leading payroll operations.
• Certified Payroll Manager (CPM) would be preferred, but it is unnecessary.
• Strong experience with cloud-based payroll systems (Payworks preferred), not a must.
• Prior experience in real estate or multi-residential property management is a strong asset.
• Detail-oriented, analytical, and confident in managing multi-entity complexities.
