The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Mass General Brigham is hiring a Payroll Specialist in Arlington, VA.

• Role description

  A growing Mass General Brigham means growing complexity, and that complexity needs a mid-level Payroll Specialist based in Arlington. This Payroll Specialist role hands mid-level talent $94,000 - $127,000, an internship arrangement in VA, and the latitude to call the shots.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Coach mid-level analysts on how a clean reconciliation should feel
  • Hold the line on capitalization policy across every finance project
  • Build the $94,000 - $127,000 budget line and defend each assumption behind it
  • Reconcile equity rollforwards so the cap table never argues with the books
  • Build the finance P&L bridge that explains every dollar of swing
  • Close the books each month and ensure accuracy across all entries
  • Build cash-flow models that hold up under a craft-obsessed stress test
  • Read the AR aging like a weather map and act before storms hit

  What You'll Bring

  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Scrappy-but-steady problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Resilience measured across 5 years of finance cycles
  • Enough Problem Solving to be dangerous, enough Financial Reporting to be trusted

  What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Arlington is now Mass General Brigham, a builder-led team obsessed with getting CPA Certification right. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

  Earn a $94,000 - $127,000 base while a mentor accelerates your jump from mid-level to lead, with benefits and flexibility along for the ride.

  Confirmed active this hour for the Arlington, VA crew, no waiting list.
