If you like clean numbers, tight deadlines, and fixing payroll problems before they become payroll fires, this Datavant role is built for you. You’ll support weekly and bi-weekly payroll for a large, fast-growing workforce, help keep tax and compliance processes sharp, and be a steady point of contact when employees have questions about pay, W-2s, and deductions.

One quick reality check: “Payroll Coordinator” sounds basic, but supporting 10,000+ employees is not. This is a volume-and-compliance job. If your strength is precision, systems, and staying calm when people’s money is on the line, it’s a solid lane.
Happy Hunting,
