Our client is a successful, stable, and well-established Canadian company based in Surrey, BC. The company is looking for a Junior Analyst to support reporting on their commission payroll team. This is a 4-to-6-month contract with a Monday January 5th start date, with decent chance for contract extension or possibly even conversion to full-time employment if a great long-term match on both sides and business needs align.

Who- the Company:

Our client was established decades ago and has evolved to become one of the largest in their industry in Canada. The company has been growing by leaps and bounds- both organically and via acquisitions.  Many of their employees have been with the company for 10 years or more, which speaks volumes about the organization’s values and commitment to their people and their customers.  In the last couple years, the organization has undertaken major business and digital transformations.

What- the Role:

Our client is looking to hire a Junior Analyst on a contract basis (4 month to 6 month term, with chance for extension and possibly even for conversion to permanent employment). Reporting into the Senior Manager, Payroll & Benefits and working with others on the tightknit payroll team.

The contractor will be responsible for downloading and running payroll commission reports (for the sales people who earn commission-based compensation), reviewing/analyzing/formatting the payroll commission data, and sharing the results and reports with relevant Managers. The Jr Analyst will be using plenty of Excel, as well as an industry-specific software.

The person in this role is not actively involved in processing payroll, they are more so focused on commission payroll reporting. In addition to the day-to-day of this role, the contractor may also help with payroll automation and process improvements.
 

Who- the Candidate:

We are looking for candidates with at least 3 years of relevant and transferable work experience in a corporate setting. Experience working on a payroll & benefits team is highly preferred- but we may also consider candidates who have worked in other corporate departments in a similar junior analyst function (for example, in HR, accounting, sales, etc.).

Candidates must have experience running/downloading/analyzing reports, and ensuring accuracy before presenting those reports to others in the business.

Qualified candidates will have solid intermediate to advanced level proficiency in Excel, and be able/willing to quickly learn how to use another system.

Strong verbal and written communication skills are important in this role.

We are looking for people who are reliable, accurate, detail-oriented, efficient, and who are confident communicating with a variety of internal stakeholders on different corporate teams.

Someone successful in this role will have a self-motivated work style and a team-player attitude. 

Ideally candidates will live in Surrey and/or close to a SkyTrain station, so that the commute is a good one for them.  

Our client is a values-based company that seeks out employees who embody their culture of mutual respect, efficiency, honesty, and customer service.
 

How Much:

Hourly rate commensurate with the hired individual’s experience, education, and qualifications, likely in the range of $27.50 to $32 an hour (perhaps with some wiggle room for someone who has very relevant experience).

If/when converted to full-time employment, please note that this company provides their employees with competitive health & dental benefits, relevant learning & development support, an RRSP match, and other great employee perks. This company also offers great work/life balance. Please discuss your hourly rate and salary expectations further with Swim Recruiting!
