Nclusion is on a mission to provide traditional financial services to 1.4 billion people worldwide without access today. Without a secure way to save, invest, or transfer money, individuals are not empowered to accumulate short or long-term wealth. We're changing that by bridging the gap between traditional banking and the communities that need it most.
As the Global Payroll Manager at Nclusion, you will oversee end-to-end payroll operations for domestic and international employees, ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant pay across all regions. You will drive consistent payroll execution while maintaining strong controls, reconciliations, reporting, and adherence to applicable tax, wage, and employment regulations. Serving as the primary point of contact for payroll-related inquiries, you will support employees with pay, deductions, retirement plans, and other benefit programs with accuracy and professionalism.
This role requires a highly autonomous self-starter who can independently manage payroll processes, anticipate business needs, and proactively identify risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. You will serve as the primary payroll resource for employees, delivering accurate, timely, and approachable support for all payroll-related inquiries. You will partner with cross-functional teams and external providers to ensure global compliance, improve payroll processes, and scale operations as the company grows.
