HR - Payroll Analyst

About Us

We bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, connecting teams with the capital, market access, and insights they need to build what’s next.

 

About the Role

Payroll touches every employee, every month, across six countries with different tax rules, benefits structures, and compliance requirements. Get it wrong and it shows up immediately in someone's paycheck. Get it right and it's invisible, which is exactly the point.

As a GSR Payroll Advisor you'll run payroll end-to-end across our 8 global locations, working directly with our payroll provider rather than through layers of process. You'll be the person employees trust with questions about their pay, and the person Finance and HR rely on for accurate reporting and clean data. As the team is small, you'll have real scope to shape how payroll runs, not just execute a fixed checklist.
