## About this task

This energy services company in energy storage (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a manager Payroll Specialist for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Moves payroll to a new provider with a parallel run.

A fresh pair of experienced eyes is needed, and the result is a document or file the team can use straight away. It is an energy business with strict compliance and reporting cycles.

The team sits in Jersey City. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Migrate 60 employees to a new payroll provider with opening balances and a parallel run.

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 9: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
