Reporting to the Director, Payroll & Benefits, this role combines hands-on payroll execution with Workday expertise to ensure efficient operations, strong controls, and a high-quality employee experience. The position partners closely with Finance, People Operations, Benefits, Compensation and external vendors to maintain operational excellence and regulatory compliance.

Manage garnishment processing; HSA, FSA, and 401(k) contribution funding, and ensure compliance with all associated requirements.
Administer Workday Timekeeping transactions and updates, ensuring accuracy and seamless integration with payroll.
Maintain and troubleshoot Workday Payroll configurations, integrations, and testing; continuously identify automation opportunities to reduce manual work.
Serve as the Workday Payroll subject matter expert for stakeholder requests, system releases, internal audits, and recurring operational enhancements.
Implement process improvements that shorten payroll cycles, improve audit readiness, and minimize reconciliation effort.
Partner with Finance to ensure accurate journal entries, general ledger postings, reconciliations, and reporting.
Maintain payroll compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
Manage benefits-related payroll deductions, invoice reconciliation, vendor payments, and funding activities.
Support day-to-day administration of health, welfare, and retirement programs.
Support leave administration including FMLA, state leave, and company leave policies, and international leave programs where applicable.
Partner with employees and managers to support seamless leave experiences.
Ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g., ACA, ERISA, FLSA)
Prepare, validate, and deliver payroll reports for audits, workers’ compensation, state plans, benefits programs, and management requests.
Support periodic and annual 401(k) testing, payroll audits, SOX controls, and compliance reporting.

Qualifications:

Associate’s degree in Accounting, Business Administration, or Human Resources, or 5+ years of equivalent payroll experience.
Hands-on processing experience with Workday Payroll and Time and Attendance highly preferred.
Minimum of 5 years of experience in payroll administration, preferably in a public company.
Experience processing multi-state payroll, including exempt and non-exempt required; experience with equity/RSU payroll preferred.
Experience with SOX controls, audits, and compliance frameworks highly preferred.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage complex, sensitive, confidential data.
Advanced Excel, pivot tables, and reconciliations, highly preferred.

Compensation:

The expected salary range for this position is $120,000 to $160,000.

At Rocket, our compensation philosophy and ranges are built upon data and insights collected from validated world-class providers. We are committed to compensating employees equitably based on several factors, including responsibilities and level of the position, depth and types of the employee’s experience, location of the position and availability of similar talent in a competitive market.

For U.S.-based candidates, this is an at-will position, and Rocket reserves the right to adjust the range at hire or during the year due to market shifts.

In addition to base salary, Rocket offers a competitive total rewards package that may include bonuses (short-term incentives), medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401(k) with company match and generous vesting, paid vacation and holidays, global shutdown days between Christmas and New Year’s, and a variety of wellness resources and employee support programs. Also, certain positions are eligible for added forms of compensation, such equity awards (long-term incentives).

A diverse workforce fosters innovation and strengthens Rocket’s business. We ensure equal opportunity without discrimination or harassment in the workplace on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, citizenship, status as a protected veteran, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable local, state, and federal laws.
