About Campus
Campus is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed, but outcomes haven’t. Traditional college hasn’t kept up with the aspirations of today’s students—and they can’t afford to wait.
At Campus, we’ve built a two-year, accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton, Stanford, and Howard, in live, online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skills—ready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily-researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024.
We’re backed by an exceptional investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education, including General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Bloomberg Beta, 8VC, Rethink Education, Sam Altman, Jason Citron, Shaquille O’Neal, and others.
The world has changed. Higher ed needs to catch up, and we’re leading the way - come join us!
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Payroll Specialist to fully own and run payroll at Campus, while also overseeing day-to-day benefits administration.
This is a hands-on, individual contributor role reporting to the CFO. You’ll own end-to-end payroll across a multi-state workforce, including full ownership of our payroll system (Rippling), and partner with brokers and internal teams to ensure benefits run smoothly and remain compliant.
Payroll is the core focus, with benefits as a meaningful secondary responsibility. You’ll also help improve and scale payroll systems and processes as the company grows, identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and reduce manual work.
This role sits within Finance and partners closely with the People team, with a focus on accuracy, ownership, and continuous improvement. You’ll be expected not just to run payroll, but to improve how it operates as we scale.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
