About the Role

As HR & Payroll Manager, you'll keep the Council's people operations running smoothly. You'll own biweekly payroll for 35–40 staff, administer benefits, keep employee records accurate, and manage the employee lifecycle from hiring and onboarding through performance reviews and separation. You'll partner closely with Finance on payroll and with supervisors across the Council on hiring, timekeeping, and staff development. This is a great fit for someone who is precise with payroll, steady with sensitive matters, and enjoys building a workplace where people want to stay.
