Job description

ABOUT POLYMARKET Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future. We're growing fast - both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire. ABOUT THE ROLE Polymarket's Finance team is small, moves fast, and owns a lot. We're building the financial infrastructure that supports a company scaling at an unusual pace, and payroll is a critical part of that foundation. This role reports directly to the Controller and sits at the center of a cross-functional web connecting HR, Legal, and Finance. We're hiring a Payroll Manager to own end-to-end payroll across a growing, multi-state employee base. This isn't a role where you maintain what someone else built - you'll assess what exists, identify what's broken or missing, and build the systems, controls, and processes that can scale with us. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run end-to-end payroll processing each cycle, including wages, overtime, bonuses, commissions, deductions, and benefits across multiple states - Reconcile timekeeping data, garnishments, and benefits deductions before every close, and flag discrepancies before they become problems - Own federal, state, and local tax withholding and remittance obligations, and resolve any compliance gaps independently - Maintain and improve the configuration of Rippling or Deel as headcount grows, roles change, and comp structures evolve - Partner with HR on new hires, terminations, and compensation changes to keep payroll records accurate in real time - Prepare payroll reports for Finance, HR, and external audits, and manage year-end filings including W-2s and 1099s - Identify manual processes that shouldn't be manual and build or configure systems to fix them WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 4+ years of progressive payroll or accounting experience, with direct ownership of multi-state payroll and tax compliance - Hands-on experience at a high-growth tech startup or private company where processes were still being built, not just followed - Deep familiarity with modern payroll systems - hands-on experience with Rippling or Deel specifically is strongly preferred - Demonstrated ability to process payroll with zero material errors across complex comp structures, including bonuses, commissions, and equity - Strong working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax requirements, including withholding, remittance, and filing obligations - Track record of building trusted working relationships with HR, Legal, and Finance to align on headcount events and comp changes without handoff failures - Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent demonstrated experience - (Plus) Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) designation - (Plus) Prior public company payroll experience - (Plus) Experience handling non-standard compensation structures involving crypto, tokens, or equity with tax implications BENEFITS - Competitive salary & equity - Unlimited PTO - Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage - 401k match - Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
