Payroll Specialist
Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.
Social Security, our nation’s retirement safety net, is projected to be insolvent as soon as 2035, making employer-sponsored 401(k) plans the primary retirement savings vehicle in the U.S. Nearly half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.
Our values are the guiding principles we use to build solutions for plan administrators and participants. They reflect our point of view on what’s important and what’s right:
In it for customers, autonomous & accountable, outcomes driven, inclusive collaboration, and decisive.
The Revenue Core team is responsible for all centralized functions within the revenue team, including marketing, operations, implementation planning, conversions and payroll integrations. As Payroll Specialist, you will be responsible for overseeing the client’s first 401(k) contribution. You’re the right fit for this role if you are passionate about customers, have grit, thrive on problem-solving, and default to action. And finally, as we go 24,791 mph, you should be comfortable with change.
