Payroll Specialist
A Fortune 200 company building its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India
Location: Remote (India)
A Fortune 200 company is standing up its Global Capability Centre in India and has partnered with Flexiple to build its payroll function from close to scratch. Flexiple is a managed marketplace that helps global companies build high-performing teams and GCCs in India, and this seat is one of the centre's founding payroll hires.
The cycle you'd own
As a Payroll Specialist, you run the monthly payroll cycle end to end for a growing India headcount: inputs, processing, statutory deductions, and the queries that land in your inbox once salaries hit.
Where it currently breaks
Collect and validate monthly payroll inputs from HR, finance, and business teams
Process payroll runs accurately and on schedule, including new joiners, exits, and revisions
Reconcile payroll registers against the general ledger before disbursal
Resolve employee payroll queries directly, without a long escalation chain
Compliance you'd own
Ensure PF, ESI, TDS, and professional tax are calculated and deposited correctly and on time
File monthly and annual statutory returns, and keep documentation audit-ready
Track changes in payroll-related regulation and update processes accordingly
What you'd bring
Two to six years running payroll processing and statutory compliance in India, ideally across a headcount large enough that no two months look the same. You're precise with numbers, comfortable owning a compliance calendar without reminders, and able to explain a payslip discrepancy to an anxious employee without getting defensive. Working knowledge of a payroll or HRIS system, and clear written and spoken English for cross-team coordination.
Bonus points
Experience setting up payroll processes fresh, rather than only maintaining an existing one
Exposure to a large payroll platform such as SAP, ADP, or Darwinbox
A degree or certification in HR, commerce, or a related field
What you get
A founding payroll seat inside a Fortune 200 company's own India centre
Ownership of process design, not just execution of someone else's setup
Pan-India hiring with a long-term placement, on-site/hybrid across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, or Pune
Next steps
A recruiter screening, a payroll-scenario exercise, a round with the HR operations lead, and a culture conversation.
Flexiple matches one application from you against this role and any comparable payroll mandate that opens after.
