Rapyd is a global fintech platform unifying payments, payouts, and financial services across 150+ countries. This Payroll Specialist role is based in Bogotá and owns local and regional HR operations within Latin America.
You will manage end-to-end monthly payroll execution in partnership with external vendors and internal teams, ensuring precision, timeliness, and strict regulatory compliance. Key responsibilities include consolidating monthly payroll data, reviewing vendor outputs, automating audit checks, and finalizing closing reports. You'll align all operations with Colombian tax, labor, and social security regulations while maintaining SOX controls and audit trails for Finance.
Beyond payroll processing, you'll lead employee lifecycle management—handling onboarding/offboarding documentation, contract management, work permits, and statutory requirements (SENA regulations, monetization). You'll maintain data integrity across the HRIS platform and digital archives, track medical leave reimbursements, and generate operational reporting.
You'll serve as the primary point of contact for payroll and administrative queries, working with in-country partners to resolve issues quickly. As the role scales, you'll build domain expertise across LATAM payroll frameworks to provide operational backup across the region.
Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Finance, HR, Business Administration, or related field with 1–3 years of hands-on payroll processing and personnel administration experience. Deep understanding of Colombian labor legislation, social security registration, and employee lifecycle documentation. Advanced Excel and Office proficiency, direct HRIS platform experience. Proven payroll audit and financial control environment experience. Professional English (B2 minimum) for cross-border collaboration. Extreme attention to detail, strong problem-solving, and ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment.
