Our client, a prestigious University based in Boston, is looking for a long-term contract Payroll Analyst, who will be reporting to the Associate Director of Payroll and remain focused primarily on Student Payroll data. In this role, the Payroll Analyst will lead the master data investigation, auditing, and reconciliation relating to Student Payroll. In coordination with the Associate Director, this individual will develop standard reports and processes along with metrics to assist management with making key decisions. This job may be completely remote.
Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
- Developing a deep understanding of data extracts to evaluate.
- Playing an active role in the evaluation of data integration in our new systems, acting as a key member of the team that works with employee and managers and student employment.
- Working collaboratively with other finance and administrative positions across the University to facilitate problems that arise around Student data.
- Focusing on compliance and scrutinize master data to mitigate the risk of fines and penalties from the federal government.
The University’s Payroll Team pays over 27,000 individuals a year with almost half of those being students. This position will play a key part in getting those payments correct, not just from an amount standpoint, but also covering all areas of taxation, and withholdings that master data touches.

- An understanding of payroll, accounting and exceptional analytical skills.
