Senior Payroll Specialist

 

YWCA SKS is the region’s largest non-profit organization with a 120+ year legacy, focused on the needs of women, with programs serving 7,000 people each year. When you work with YWCA, you make a difference.

 

We’re women and BIPOC-led, family-centered, and supportive of employees. As a full-time YWCA employee (30+ hours), you’ll enjoy a benefits package including medical insurance, generous vacation, holiday, sick leave plans, and an outstanding retirement plan. Put your passion for racial equity and social justice to work – apply today!

 

Within this context, the Senior Payroll Specialist plays a key role in supporting the organization’s operations through accurate, consistent and compliant payroll administration. The Payroll Department is responsible for all internal payroll functions, including timekeeping review, payroll processing, benefit deductions and payroll tax administration for all employees on a semi-monthly basis.

Reporting to the Payroll Manager, this position is responsible for full-cycle payroll processing, including reconciliation, auditing and recordkeeping. The role requires a high level of independence, strong judgment and the ability to consistently review and verify one’s own work for accuracy in a deadline-driven environment. This position also plays an important role in ensuring payroll data integrity and supporting post-payroll functions, including benefit reconciliations and audit readiness.

At YWCA, all staff are expected to actively engage in ongoing learning and apply training, tools and self-development to ground their work in the organization’s mission and commitment to anti-racism and social justice. This role contributes to that work by supporting equitable, consistent payroll practices across a diverse, multi-site workforce.

While YWCA’s mission focuses on eliminating racism and empowering women, our workforce is intentionally inclusive. We welcome applicants of all genders, identities, and backgrounds who are committed to advancing our mission.

 

NOTE: This is a hybrid position, with the ability to work remotely and scheduled in-office days at a YWCA location based on proximity to the employee’s residence. YWCA has locations across

Seattle, East King County and Snohomish County, allowing for a site assignment that supports both organizational needs and employee convenience.

At YWCA, we recognize that lived expertise is a powerful asset. This refers to the insights, knowledge, and skills developed by those who have navigated systems and experienced inequity.

Valuing lived expertise helps build trust with program participants, develop culturally responsive programs, and break down barriers to equity. It enriches our collective understanding and enhances our ability to serve communities that are furthest from opportunity.

All employees of the YWCA interact with clients who have experienced or are experiencing trauma in various forms, including but not limited to, racial trauma, domestic violence, sexual violence, homelessness, unemployment, and financial hardship. As a result, employees are at risk of secondary trauma. We encourage employees to seek support inside and outside the workplace and maintain self-care routines.
