## Description

Join OEC's HR team as an HR Operations Analyst, owning the critical work that connects Payroll, Benefits, Finance, and HRIS across North America. This isn't a day-to-day payroll processing role - it's the layer above it: taxes, compliance, audits, and the cross-functional projects that keep everything running smoothly. You'll take full ownership of your domain and work independently, often without a dedicated internal expert to lean on, since in a leaner organization, you're frequently the one who knows best. If you thrive on precision, autonomy, and solving problems before they become problems - and you're ready to use deep payroll knowledge in a broader, more strategic way - this is your seat., * Serve as the connector between Payroll, Benefits, Finance, and HRIS, ensuring data, reporting, and processes stay aligned across teams
\n

 * Own payroll tax compliance: jurisdiction registrations, ongoing monitoring, audits, and resolving notices across federal, state, local, and Canadian provincial requirements
\n

 * Lead 401(k) employer match true-ups and bonus accrual tracking, partnering with Finance on calculations and approvals
\n

 * Manage payroll-adjacent compliance areas including EEO reporting and workers' compensation across multiple states
\n

 * Prepare payroll and finance reports (gross payroll, hours, PTO, tax and benefit deductions) for budgeting and audits
\n

 * Drive process improvement - identifying where automation or better tools can strengthen the connection between Payroll, Benefits, and HRIS
\n

 * Support payroll, HR, and operations during mergers & acquisitions
\n

 * Serve as backup to our payroll processor, stepping in as needed - understanding payroll processing is important, though it's not the daily focus
\n

 * Document processes clearly, building the kind of institutional knowledge that makes the function resilient
