Payroll Product Strategy - Compliance ID- 11751
What this job can offer you
As a Senior Payroll Product Strategic Lead you will lead complex, high-impact payroll product initiatives that sit at the intersection of global compliance, product strategy, and operational scalability. You’ll drive cross-functional product execution from discovery to delivery—ensuring we launch compliant, automated, and future-proof payroll features in global markets.
In this role, you will take full ownership of strategic product workstreams with a compliance lens—collaborating closely with Engineering, Legal, Operations, and Data teams to align requirements, remove blockers, and ensure product decisions support both customer needs and regulatory requirements. You will also play a key role in prioritising work and raising the standard of how compliance is embedded into product delivery at Remote.
What you bring
- Significant experience leading complex product initiatives with payroll and compliance components, ideally across multiple countries or regions.
- Deep understanding of global payroll operations, statutory requirements, tax and reporting obligations, and how these translate into product design.
- Strong cross-functional leadership skills—you influence collaboratively and drive alignment across Legal, Engineering, Product, and Ops.
- Experience owning product workstreams end-to-end: from regulatory analysis and workflow mapping to feature delivery and iteration.
- Hands-on familiarity with systems thinking, automation logic, and tooling ( HRIS/payroll integrations, SQL, scripts, dashboards).
- Excellent communicator—able to write clear specs, surface trade-offs, and keep stakeholders aligned and informed.
- Experience working in fast-paced, global environments where compliance is a critical enabler, not a blocker.
