About the Role:

We are seeking a highly experienced and technically profound payroll expert to step into the role of Global Payroll Support Lead. In this role, you will leverage your deep technical expertise to drive excellence within our global support organization. This is a mission-critical position where you will serve as the ultimate Subject Matter Expert (SME), bridging deep country-specific payroll compliance with product functionality.

You will leverage your 5-7 years of hands-on payroll experience not to execute payroll, but to audit, verify, and validate how the Rippling system processes payroll for your country. You will be the crucial link between local regulatory compliance and our global technology platform, ensuring our processes are compliant, efficient, and robust.

You will be responsible for ensuring superior customer support, driving product improvements through data-driven insights, and proactively building a robust knowledge base for your expertise in the UK region. If you thrive at the intersection of complex payroll regulation and cutting-edge SaaS technology, this role is for you.

Your primary mission is to optimize the system, enable our internal support teams, and serve as the final authority on complex payroll compliance product logic.

What You Will Do:

• Be the regional expert for Global Payroll and HR solutions within your assigned customer region as part of our Support team.
• Develop and maintain clear, accurate country-specific content, documentation, and FAQs to support both customers and internal teams.
• Analyze customer support interactions to identify trends and opportunities to improve the support experience.
• Partner with regional Product Managers to provide insights on support volume, customer feedback, and critical compliance concerns.
• Collaborate directly with Engineering, Product Managers, and Tax Ops to communicate compliance requirements, test new features, and ensure payroll logic is correctly built and maintained.
• Serve as a senior resource and point of escalation for Customer Support Specialists on complex, region-specific payroll issues.
• Personally own and resolve the most challenging customer cases by leveraging your deep platform and country-specific payroll expertise.

General Qualifications (Required for all Candidates)

• Deep knowledge of Dutch payroll regulations, including tax tables, WBSO, 30% ruling, and WKR and other deductions.
• Strong client-facing skills with experience managing enterprise customer relationships.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to investigate and resolve complex payroll discrepancies.
• Experience working in a payroll provider, HR software company, or a large in-house payroll function is highly preferred.
• A passion for documentation and knowledge-sharing.
