Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

We are looking for an experienced M&A Payroll Manager to lead global payroll integrations for acquisitions and help advance our U.S. Payroll operations. Join us in building scalable processes that support our employees and NVIDIA’s growth! You will work with regional and cross-functional teams to onboard acquired employees onto NVIDIA’s compensation systems. Alongside U.S. Payroll leadership, you will strengthen controls, improve data quality, enhance the connection between Workday and UKG Pro, and reduce manual work through automation. We value both critical thinking and practical implementation. As acquisition activity varies, you will balance integration priorities with a defined portfolio of improvements related to payroll processing within the U.S. and targeted operational support.

What you will be doing:

Global M&A Payroll Integration

• Lead acquisition payroll integrations across regions, defining scope, achievements, responsibilities, dependencies, and readiness criteria.
• Collaborate with regional Payroll, Corporate Development, HR, Legal, Corporate Tax, Finance, Stock Administration, along with IT to assess acquired companies’ payroll operations and coordinate transitions.
• Oversee post-close payroll activities, including final legacy payrolls, equity-related payments, and payroll treatment of outstanding expense reimbursements.
• Lead data conversion, validation, testing, reconciliation, and cutover to NVIDIA’s payroll platforms, including transitions from payroll providers and professional employer organizations.
• Establish interim controls, coordinate legacy record retention and required reporting, and work with Corporate Tax to assess eligible payroll tax credits.
• Build repeatable integration playbooks and ensure clear handoffs to ongoing payroll operations.

U.S. Payroll Transformation and Operational Excellence

• Develop and deliver a prioritized improvement roadmap with U.S. Payroll leadership, focusing on accuracy, scalability, efficiency, and employee experience.
• Lead automation and Workday-to-UKG Pro integration improvements with HR Technology and IT, strengthening data flows, verification, cross-checking, and exception handling.
• Address the root causes of recurring issues, translate business needs into requirements, and coordinate testing and implementation.
• Provide hands-on support for complex biweekly and semimonthly payroll processes, covering equity transactions, salary and tax modifications, and year-end reconciliations.
• Strengthen documentation and controls, measure improvement outcomes, and evaluate automation and AI-enabled tools with appropriate safeguards.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Accounting, Finance or Economics, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ overall years of progressive payroll experience, including complex, multistate U.S. payroll operations.
• 4+ years of leadership experience.
• Experience leading payroll integrations, system implementations, or significant cross-functional payroll projects.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. payroll compliance, employment taxes, equity compensation, wage and tax adjustments, and year-end reporting.
• Experience improving payroll processes and controls, including gross-to-net calculations, data validation, reconciliation, and system interfaces.
• Project-management and analytical skills, with capacity to prioritize work, resolve dependencies, communicate risks, and deliver improvements.
• Clear communication, sound judgment with confidential information, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively while balancing planning with hands-on execution

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Expertise in UKG Pro and experience with Workday integration, testing, and reconciliation.
• Experience transitioning companies from providers or PEOs such as TriNet, Gusto, Rippling, and Justworks to enterprise payroll platforms.
• Experience supporting payroll populations exceeding 40,000 employees, Canadian payroll, or integrations across multiple countries.
• Certified Payroll Professional certification or knowledge of garnishment administration.
• Experience delivering measurable results through automation, advanced reporting, AI-enabled tools, or repeatable integration methods.
