The Opportunity — Remote (USA / Canada)

We are looking for a Senior Payroll Operations Specialist I to serve as an advanced practitioner and escalation point on our Payroll Operations team. In this role, you'll own complex remittance operations, payroll corrections, and union compliance across a high-volume, multi-state environment — holding a high bar for accuracy, SLA performance, and documentation. Beyond executing at an exceptional level yourself, you'll mentor teammates, surface process improvements, and partner cross-functionally to resolve root-cause issues. It's a role for someone who takes pride in both the craft of payroll and the standard they set for those around them.

What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end payroll remittance operations including corrections, reversals, overpayments, and contribution remittances — resolving cases within SLA with clear documentation throughout

  • Serve as an escalation point for complex union and agency issues; identify root causes of reporting discrepancies and coordinate resolution with appropriate payroll teams

  • Mentor team members on complex remittance and compliance matters, actively raising the skill level of those around you

  • Document and maintain SOPs, keeping them current, complete, and usable without additional coaching

  • Identify gaps in payroll operations processes and bring forward concrete recommendations for improvement

  • Partner cross-functionally on payment and client funding questions, system testing, and payroll-related project work

  • Leverage AI tools to optimize operational workflows and adopt emerging functionalities that improve team efficiency and accuracy

  • Proactively surface issues — with proposed solutions — and act as SME across teams to drive them to closure

What You'll Have

  • 5+ years of end-to-end, multi-state payroll processing experience

  • Advanced union expertise; ability to handle complex remittance and compliance issues independently

  • Experience in third-party payroll or entertainment/film industry payroll strongly preferred

  • Proficiency in Notion and Salesforce; intermediate Excel skills

  • Demonstrated ability to document processes clearly and maintain SOPs that others can follow without hand-holding

  • Strong communication and conflict resolution skills — comfortable working across teams and with external agencies

  • Proactive approach to AI tooling; comfortable adopting and applying new workflows to improve operational efficiency

  • FPC or CPP certification preferred

At Wrapbook, creativity meets technology — and not just in the product.

In addition to a competitive salary and all the benefits you can expect from a fast-growing technology company, you’ll get access to a team of creative problem solvers and the chance to see your contributions make large impacts. Benefits include:

What We Do

Employers in media production and the entertainment industry are constantly hiring. Freelance employees move between projects and could get onboarded 30 or more times in a single year. And yet, much of the industry uses physical paperwork with no easy way to track payments, often struggling with compliance (due to ever-changing laws and union rules), and has few automation processes in place when it comes time to send payroll reports to their accountants. Wrapbook is an intuitive payroll and insurance solution for those balancing multiple projects. With digital solutions, simplified compliance, and comprehensive reporting, we take the stress away so employers and project-based workers can focus on the big picture. Commercial producers, filmmakers, and anyone creating media deserve robust solutions to meet their unique demands. With Wrapbook, you only have to ask for documents from cast and crew once. Our platform lets you move all the onboarding forms associated with any crew from a project to any future ones, giving you back hours. By swapping out paper timecards with digital ones, approving payroll is now a piece of cake. Crew can log into Wrapbook from any device to enter their hours and expenses. Providing producers with the right tools to onboard crew and process payments helps them put routine work on auto-pilot. That way, they can focus on more compelling tasks. Let us tackle paperwork, payroll, and insurance, so you can continue creating the work that matters.
