Payroll Manager

As a Payroll Manager, you'll lead payroll operations for 550+ employees in Israel, ensuring every payroll cycle is accurate, compliant, and efficient. You'll own end-to-end payroll processes, partner closely with HR, Finance, Legal, and external vendors, and drive operational improvements that support Gong's continued growth in a fast-paced global environment.

You'll Own:

• Leading end-to-end payroll operations for 550+ employees in Israel, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and full compliance with Israeli labor laws, tax regulations, and company policies.
• Owning payroll reporting, reconciliations, month-end close activities, payroll-related accounting processes, and maintaining payroll data integrity across the employee lifecycle.
• Driving continuous improvements to payroll processes, systems, and controls while partnering with HR, Finance, Legal, Equity, and external payroll consultants to ensure seamless payroll operations.

You'll Solve:

• Identifying payroll risks, proactively resolving discrepancies, and implementing scalable solutions that improve payroll accuracy, efficiency, and operational excellence.
• Supporting complex payroll scenarios, including equity compensation, pension plans, reserve-duty pay, global payroll processes, multi-currency payroll considerations, and cross-border tax implications.

You'll Impact:

• Ensuring every employee is paid accurately and on time while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and operational excellence.
• Building scalable payroll processes, driving automation and stronger financial controls across payroll operations, and serving as a trusted payroll partner to Finance, HR, Legal, and leadership.

How You'll Succeed Here:

• 5+ years of payroll management experience, preferably in a global high-tech environment supporting 300–600 employees, with deep expertise in Israeli payroll, labor laws, tax regulations, National Insurance, reserve-duty payments, pension plans, and equity compensation.
• Hands-on experience with Hilan (including Ofek and Hilnet), retrieving historical payroll data from Michpal, NetSuite ERP, payroll journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, month-end close processes, and building payroll journal entries directly from payroll reports. Implementation experience with Hilnet is a strong advantage.
• Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, and payroll analysis, along with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to work independently while taking ownership in a fast-paced environment.
• Fluent in Hebrew and English.

*We operate in a flexible hybrid work model.

We encourage our employees to express their personality and identity (whether gender, ethnic, religious, or sexual), and we ensure fairness and equal opportunities. We follow a hybrid working model that combines working from home, on the go, or at the office. This allows us: flexibility, autonomy, positive work relationships, and effective work habits. If these considerations are important to you when choosing a workplace, we'd love to see you with us. To review Gong's privacy policy, visit  www.gong.io/privacy-policy/  for more details.
