Hi, Future Homie!

As a Homie, you'll be part of an unstoppable team that puts customers first, embraces each day with excitement, and strives for excellence in everything you do. We’re revolutionizing the way small businesses manage their teams and grow their business. What this means for you is a shared passion for innovation and making a difference for the people we serve. So what do you say, will you join us on our mission to empower small businesses?

Who You Are:

You are passionate about working with small businesses and contributing to their success. You love all of the nuances that make payroll complicated, and you love making payroll easy and accessible to businesses. You are not afraid of ambiguity, have grit, and come to the table not to point out problems, but with solutions.

You crave impact and you want to help build something amazing and long lasting in a casual and collaborative work culture.

The Payroll Onboarding Project Lead is responsible for getting our customers up and running with Homebase Payroll. You will work with small businesses to understand their payroll needs, and work closely with sales to gather required information to ensure an accurate and compliant implementation. You will own the onboarding process. You will own this process from start to finish including helping the customer run their first payroll with Homebase.
