Payroll Specialist

About The Company

Jetson Home is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better. Homes are a major source of carbon emissions, yet solutions such as heat pumps can be difficult and costly for homeowners to adopt. Jetson Home is addressing this challenge by building a vertically integrated home electrification company that makes clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable.

Technology, automation, and data are central to how we scale our impact. We value people who are skilled in their craft, curious about new tools - including AI - and motivated to improve how work gets done.

About The Role

Jetson Home is seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist to manage payroll operations across Canada and the United States as part of our Accounting & Finance team. In this highly visible role, you will oversee accurate, timely payroll for a growing workforce that includes hourly, salaried, piece-rate, and commission-earning employees.

You will help build and strengthen the payroll function as the company grows. This includes shaping reliable processes, configuring ADP to support scale, and preparing payroll operations for expansion into new markets. Your expertise, discretion, and sound judgment will help ensure employees are paid correctly while supporting Jetson Home’s mission to electrify homes across North America.

This is a full-time, permanent position based in person in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The annual salary range is $82,000–$102,000.

Qualifications

You bring at least five years of payroll experience and hands-on knowledge of both Canadian and U.S. payroll. Experience with ADP Workforce Now or a comparable platform is important, as is the ability to manage payroll for a workforce with varied pay structures, including hourly, salaried, piece-rate, variable, and commission compensation.

You have a strong understanding of multi-jurisdiction payroll compliance, including CRA and IRS requirements and applicable provincial and state employment rules. A PCP or CPM designation in Canada, or a CPP designation in the United States, is an asset. You are detail-oriented, comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets, and able to handle confidential information with care. Familiarity with modern technology and AI tools, and an interest in using them to improve efficiency, will help you succeed in this role.

Responsibilities

Manage end-to-end payroll processing in ADP for employees in Canada and the United States, ensuring payments are complete, accurate, and on schedule. Calculate and validate piece-rate compensation for field technicians, accounting for minimum-wage requirements, overtime, and vacation or paid-time-off rules across applicable provinces and states.

Partner with Sales and Finance to calculate commissions, verify results against CRM and sales data, and process payments accurately. Maintain employee pay records and ADP configurations, including earnings codes, deductions, and benefits, and respond to employee payroll questions professionally.

Reconcile payroll to the general ledger, prepare journal entries, and support month-end close and audits. Ensure payroll compliance, including required withholdings and remittances, workers’ compensation requirements, and year-end T4 and W-2 filings. Support payroll setup as Jetson Home enters new provinces and states, and identify opportunities to automate, document, and improve processes as the business grows.

Benefits

Jetson Home offers company-paid dental, vision, and life insurance premiums, along with extended health care and disability insurance. Additional benefits include parental leave top-up, education support, and equity. You will have the opportunity to contribute to a growing payroll function while supporting a mission-driven company working to make home electrification more accessible.
