• Upload and resolve import errors in tax preparation software, and manage reconciliation and returns for less complex local tax jurisdictions
• Research and respond to tax agency notices and payroll tax inquiries, ranging from routine to complex
• Support special projects such as M&A, divestments, audits, and W-2/W-2c balancing, plus set up of new tax locations and compliance reporting (DOL, Multiple Worksite, BLS)
• Maintain Workday tax data (tables, rates, location codes, jurisdictions) in sync with ADP SmartCompliance, including W-2/W-2c updates and tax balance adjustments
• Keep Payroll Tax SOPs current, ensure day-to-day maintenance via maker/checker and ServiceNow, and escalate issues to North America Payroll Tax Manager/Analysts as needed
• Maintain organized, consistent workflows and folder structures across the team
• Track SLAs through the case management system and collaborate across HR Services to meet or exceed service standards

What you need to have:

• High School Diploma/GED
