About the role

Metropolitan State University of Denver is seeking an experienced payroll leader to guide a team responsible for full-cycle payroll for semi-monthly and monthly groups. The role involves regulatory filings, reconciliation, and cross‑department collaboration to ensure accurate payroll processing. You will work on Workday payroll projects, improve controls, and coordinate with HR, ITS, and Accounting Services.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
