New York, New York, United States Check Full time

Check is leading a revolution in the payroll industry. Payroll is the backbone of the US economy, and yet it has not undergone significant innovation in decades. We invented the embedded payroll space to change that (see: Check: Solving the $150 Billion Payroll Problem, Bank On It; Episode 438), both for the business owners who spend countless hours per week running payroll and for the millions of Americans who depend on their next paycheck. At Check, our mission is to empower the most innovative software platforms to create new payroll businesses, and enable those businesses to transform the way companies pay their employees.

Check's culture is intensely caring: to each other as teammates, to our partners, and to the businesses and workers we serve. Our teams are made up of creative problem solvers and empathetic cross-functional collaborators who can simplify the complexities of payroll. We bring hustle and grit to our day-to-day, while building enduring solutions and relationships.


The Setup Ops team is responsible for getting new customers to their first payroll run with Check's partner businesses. This is one of our most critical jobs to accelerate partner growth, and we take our work seriously. We strive to bring attention to detail, professionalism, and excellent customer service to every interaction. At Check, we always find opportunities to improve and innovate; our team pushes forward this innovation by bringing ingenuity to our daily work and high levels of adaptability to incorporate changes.

  • Provide customer service via tickets, email, and phone/video directly to both partners building payroll businesses on Check and companies in the process of joining those partner platforms.
  • Drive operational efficiency, meeting SLAs to ensure seamless company onboarding.
  • Provide direct assistance to outsourcing teams and customers dealing with complex payroll scenarios identified during the setup process.
  • Cultivate strong relationships with outsourcing partners, overseeing setup projects to accurate, successful completion.
