About Redesign Group

The Redesign Group is a global technology and cybersecurity Solution Provider leveraging design thinking, interdependent subject matter expertise, and emerging technology solutions to help organizations achieve meaningful transformation. Our globally diverse team members, partnerships with strategic technology manufacturers, and cybersecurity services position us to be a business partner that’s ready for what’s next.


We live by our core values of operating in the service of others, being problem solvers, and focusing on long term partnerships. You’ll excel at Redesign if you thrive in a rewarding environment that moves quickly, challenges you to grow and fosters collaboration. We seek candidates with a hands-on customer-first approach, robust interpersonal and communication skills, strong work ethic and excellent time management. While teamwork is expected, the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment is crucial.

About the role

The Redesign Group is looking for a Payroll & Benefits Specialist to run day-to-day payroll and help with employee leave and benefits administration across our US, Canadian, UK, and French operations. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is detail-oriented, comfortable owning payroll processing end to end, and ready to grow their scope as we expand internationally.


What you'll do

Payroll

  • Own full-cycle US and Canada payroll processing, keeping every pay period accurate and on time
  • Act as the day-to-day point of contact for UK and France payroll, working with our third-party payroll providers
  • Keep payroll data accurate in Rippling, including employee changes, pay adjustments, and terminations
  • Look into and help resolve payroll tax notices (unemployment insurance, withholding), working with payroll providers and tax agencies as needed
  • Help reconcile payroll and benefits, keeping payroll deductions, benefits invoices, and general ledger entries aligned
  • Support compliance-related audits (e.g., ERISA, workers' compensation, payroll tax) by preparing payroll and benefits documentation as directed by Finance and People Operations

Leave Administration

  • Handle leave request intake and check initial eligibility against policy
  • Coordinate the pay impact of leave with payroll processing
  • Track leave case status and manage return-to-work logistics
  • Partner with People Operations on compliance review for complex or unclear leave cases

Benefits Support

  • Answer employee questions about benefits enrollment, coverage, and plan details
  • Process benefits changes tied to qualifying life events
  • Support open enrollment logistics as needed (enrollment itself runs through Rippling)


Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of payroll processing experience, including multi-state US payroll
  • Experience with Canadian payroll preferred; willingness to build this expertise required
  • Experience with Rippling or a comparable HRIS/payroll platform strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with US leave laws (FMLA, state paid leave/PFML) preferred
  • Experience researching and resolving payroll tax notices (SUI, withholding) directly with tax agencies or through a payroll provider
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to handle sensitive, confidential data
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with Finance and third-party vendors
  • Experience coordinating with international payroll vendors a plus (UK/France)


Benefits

We offer a comprehensive benefits package which may include:

  • Medical Insurance
  • Dental Insurance
  • Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match (annual dollar cap applied)
  • Flexible time off plan
  • 15 paid holidays
  • Sick leave (amount varies by state requirements and is at least the minimum required by any state)
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • Life insurance
  • Paid parental leave


We’re an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We consider qualified candidates without regard to any legally protected status. This role is subject to applicable employment laws based on work location. In compliance with pay transparency laws, the compensation range for this role is included, with final pay based on experience, skills, and location.
