Implementation Specialist (New York City or Remote)

Check is leading a revolution in the payroll industry. Payroll is the backbone of the US economy, and yet it has not undergone significant innovation in decades. We invented the embedded payroll space to change that (see: Check: Solving the $150 Billion Payroll Problem, Bank On It; Episode 438), both for the business owners who spend countless hours per week running payroll and for the millions of Americans who depend on their next paycheck. At Check, our mission is to empower the most innovative software platforms to create new payroll businesses, and enable those businesses to transform the way companies pay their employees.

Check’s culture is intensely caring: to each other as teammates, to our partners, and to the businesses and workers we serve. Our teams are made up of creative problem solvers and empathetic cross-functional collaborators who can simplify the complexities of payroll. We bring hustle and grit to our day-to-day, while building enduring solutions and relationships. 

Our mission at Check is to make paying people simple and our Implementation team plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal. We're searching for an Implementation Specialist to join us, bringing a service-oriented approach and expertise in customer onboarding and implementation. If you excel in cross-functional collaboration and process improvement, you're the right fit.

Payroll can be complicated, so we’re looking for an experienced payroll professional who wants to challenge themselves while working closely with our partners and their customers. This individual should have prior exposure to a fast-moving payroll SaaS environment with a customer service background. Experience with scaling processes and an ability to adapt will be critical as we ramp up our partner base while they ramp up their customer base.  

In this role, you will:

• Work with our partners’ teams to deliver a timely, accurate, and reliable partner and customer implementation experience
• Manage deadlines (short-term and long-term) for various time-sensitive implementation tasks, including data migration, balancing, company activation, and data gathering for initial payroll processing
• Manage the conversion and establishment of new customer payroll accounts, re-establish accounts for returning customers, add employees and historical payroll data to all necessary Check systems
• Assist in the prioritization of personal and team daily workflow
• Drive operational efficiency and meet SLAs to ensure seamless company onboarding and payroll implementations
• Identify areas of opportunity and improvement for implementation specialist workflows and process documentation for quality and accuracy
• Collaborate with internal teams to deliver a superior service experience as we and our partners grow

Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have:

• 2+ years of customer enrollment, onboarding and/or implementation experience
• 3+ years of customer service experience in a SaaS-based organization, preferably in payroll services
• Take pride in a high attention to detail, organization and task management, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven business environment
• Proven ability to handle and prioritize multiple time-sensitive projects under competing deadlines, while maintaining both quantity and quality of work
• Strong focus on partners and customers, with excellent communication skills in both verbal and written formats
• Professional, highly knowledgeable, and friendly with a natural desire to help people
• Comfort in highly cross-functional environments, with a track record of collaborative work with Sales, Risk, Partner Success, and R&D teams
• Familiarity with Zendesk, MasterTax and other cloud based productivity tools are a plus
