We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
The role
We’re hiring a Global Payroll Specialist to help build and scale payroll as Legora continues to grow internationally. Working closely with our Global Payroll Manager, you’ll help ensure payroll runs smoothly across multiple countries while also shaping the processes, controls, and ways of working that will support our continued expansion.
This is not a role where you’ll spend most of your time processing payroll yourself. Instead, you’ll coordinate with external payroll providers, review and quality-check their work, and help improve how we work as we enter new markets. As the function develops, there will also be room to shape parts of the role based on your strengths and interests.
What You Will Be Doing
Coordinate monthly payroll cycles across multiple countries
Act as a key contact for external payroll providers
Make sure payroll is delivered accurately and on time
Carry out validations, reconciliations, and checks before payroll is finalized
Help ensure payroll follows local regulations and internal processes
Support audits by keeping documentation clear and up to date
Help build and improve payroll processes as we grow into new countries
Create clear workflows and documentation so our ways of working can scale
Work with payroll data from HiBob and ensure inputs are accurate and complete
Partner closely with HR, Finance, and external vendors
Step in as backup to the Global Payroll Manager when needed
Who You Are

You also bring:
5+ years of payroll experience
Strong understanding of payroll controls and processes
