Senior Manager, Global Payroll Systems – Equity Operations

About the Role

As the Senior Manager of Global Payroll Systems & Equity Operations at HTS, you will serve as a player‑coach reporting to the Head of People Operations & Workforce Technology to modernize and scale our workforce compensation infrastructure. Sitting on the leadership team, your mandate is to transition the function away from manual, multi‑vendor handoffs into an automated, highly scalable operating model that maximizes systemic efficiency without proportional headcount growth. This high‑visibility role uniquely blends global cross‑functional system design with hands‑on execution to directly mitigate operational and financial risk.

Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end global payroll operating model across employees, contractors, EORs, PEOs, and local providers.
• Manage and develop a team of 2–3 direct reports while maintaining execution discipline and high operational standards.
• Lead the operational administration of employee equity in Shareworks, covering grant processing, data updates, and multi‑department reconciliation.
• Identify and implement automation workflows to minimize manual data transfers, recurring exceptions, and data friction.
