Description
This role is genuinely rare. It sits at the intersection of HR operations and global payroll in a way that most managers at this level never get real exposure to. ZeroFox is in the middle of building out its People function with intention — we're migrating to a new HRIS platform, moving payroll under HR for the first time, and managing a footprint that spans 10 countries across four different employment frameworks. The person we're hiring isn't stepping into a finished machine. They're helping design it.
You'll report directly to the VP of Human Resources and work closely with the accounting team on payroll — not as a handoff partner, but as a genuine co-owner of the process. If you want a seat at the table where HR, Finance, and operations intersect at a PE-backed cybersecurity company, this is it.
This role owns two pillars simultaneously. Roughly 30% of your time lives in global payroll — working side by side with the accounting team on payroll processing, tax compliance, and employee expense report management — reviewing submissions, coordinating approvals, and ensuring timely payment — in partnership with the Accounting team across the US and international jurisdictions. The other 70% is HR operations: global benefits administration across the US, Chile, India, UK, and EOR countries; compliance program management across federal, state, and multi-country requirements; HRIS ownership as we migrate to Rippling; leave program management; and vendor relationship management across our benefits broker network and HR tech stack.
The Reality
- You've owned payroll before — not just watched it happen, but been accountable for accuracy, tax filings, and vendor relationships
- Compliance complexity energizes rather than exhausts you. Multi-state, multi-country HR and payroll compliance is where you do your best work
- You can run a benefits open enrollment and a payroll audit in the same week without dropping either
- You've managed an HRIS implementation or migration and know what good change management looks like from the inside
- You build process where none exists. This role requires creating infrastructure, not just maintaining it
- You're data-first: you trust the report over your memory, and you build dashboards before someone asks for them
