StubHub, the world's leading live event ticketing marketplace operating in 195 countries, is seeking an experienced Director of Global Payroll to lead and own payroll operations across its expanding global footprint.
In this role, you will oversee day-to-day global payroll operations across all payrolls in partnership with the Global Payroll Lead, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with regional tax and labor regulations. You will serve as a dedicated backup for payroll processing, eliminating current single points of failure. A key responsibility is instilling and maintaining robust payroll controls appropriate for a public company, including SOX compliance, segregation of duties, and audit-ready approval processes.
You will project manage payroll-related implementations and drive centralization of payroll vendors, partnering closely with IT and HRIS to identify cost-saving opportunities through consolidation. You will own new-country payroll implementation and launch, managing registration, vendor setup, local compliance requirements, and cross-functional go-live readiness. Data integrity is critical—you will own the accuracy of underlying payroll data, tying tax remittances, funding, and payroll outputs back to each pay run before it flows to Finance.
Close partnership with Tax, Finance, and Equity teams is essential. You will support equity taxation, multi-state and multi-country tax compliance, translate tax requirements into vendor instructions, support internal and external audits, and assist with recurring payroll financial reporting. You will document processes for operational efficiency and team enablement, maintaining SOPs and audit-ready records across all payrolls. Bring forward-looking, proactive risk and process thinking to anticipate needs ahead of new-country expansion, benefit changes, or system changes. You will also ensure time and attendance practices are compliant and maintain the highest level of confidentiality with sensitive compensation and equity data.
Location: Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote) in New York City, NY.
