What they want
• Strong US payroll is the top priority. If a candidate’s US experience is strong, LATAM isn’t a priority.
• California payroll is a must, along with general 30+ multi-state experience.
• Workday payroll experience is required
• Equity experience (RSUs, ESPP, stock options)
• Medical benefits experience (deductions, reconciliations, open enrollment)
LATAM
• Nice to have, not required.
• Argentina is the country that matters most.
• LATAM experience from a payroll accounting angle is acceptable. It doesn’t have to be hands-on processing.
• Recency isn’t important, so older LATAM experience is fine.
