Global Payroll Analyst in Bangalore, भारत

From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About Us

Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data.

Together, we’re delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data — from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on.

Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on. dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights. Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions.

As we bring our teams and technology together, we’re building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’re creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact.

During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Global Payroll Analyst to support accurate, timely, and compliant payroll operations across our global workforce.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on payroll professional who can move comfortably between payroll processing, audits, vendor coordination, reconciliations, and employee support. This position requires a high degree of accuracy, sound judgment, strong follow-through, and the ability to work effectively across time zones and cultures. The work schedule will include regular overlap with U.S. business hours, either Pacific or Eastern time, as business needs require.

What You’ll Do

• Process multi-state U.S. payroll for exempt and non-exempt employees using Workday Payroll, including regular wages, bonuses, commissions, equity transactions, leaves, and final payments.
• Perform end-to-end payroll activities, including reviewing inputs, validating calculations, running audits, resolving discrepancies, preparing payroll registers, and supporting payroll approval and settlement.
• Coordinate payroll for workers engaged through EOR and PEO providers.
• Support India payroll processing and review, including payroll inputs, statutory deductions and contributions, employee changes, terminations, reconciliations, and coordination with local payroll partners.
• Monitor payroll cases and ticket queues; respond to employee questions regarding pay, taxes, deductions, benefits, time off, and payroll timing with accuracy, empathy, and clear ownership through resolution.
• Partner with payroll vendors and internal teams to investigate and resolve payroll issues, track open items, meet cutoffs, and ensure timely follow-through.
• Support payroll accounting activities, including payroll journals, accruals, and investigation of payroll-to-general-ledger differences.
• Maintain payroll documentation, calendars, checklists, standard operating procedures, and country-specific process information to support controls and cross-training.
• Assist with internal and external audits, SOX controls, year-end activities, statutory reporting, and other payroll compliance requirements.
• Contribute to payroll implementations, integrations, testing, process improvements, and automation initiatives across Workday and the broader global payroll environment.
• Build trusted relationships with HR, HRIS, Accounting, Finance, Tax, Benefits, Equity, Legal, and external payroll partners across regions and time zones.

Skills We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of payroll experience, including hands-on responsibility for payroll processing, audits, reconciliations, and employee support.
• 3+ years of hands-on U.S. payroll processing experience using Workday Payroll and Workday Time Tracking.
• Working knowledge of U.S. federal, state, and local payroll taxation and wage-and-hour requirements, including multi-state payroll.
• Hands-on India payroll experience, including familiarity with common statutory payroll requirements and local payroll practices.
• Experience supporting payroll through EOR and/or PEO providers across multiple countries.
• Experience managing employee inquiries through a case-management or ticketing system and communicating complex payroll topics clearly.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, formulas, data validation, and reconciliation of large data sets.
• Demonstrated attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and success meeting multiple payroll deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across time zones.
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and sound judgment.
• Ability to work a schedule that provides regular overlap with U.S. Pacific or Eastern business hours.
• Experience with ADP SmartCompliance.
• Experience supporting payroll operations in additional countries or regions beyond the United States and India.
• Payroll accounting experience, including journals, accruals, and general ledger reconciliation.
• Experience with payroll implementations, acquisitions, integrations, user acceptance testing, or process automation.
