Payroll Specialist

About Standard Bots Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next. This role is central to building the financial infrastructure to match our growth. Note: This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates based anywhere in the U.S. The Role We’re bringing payroll in-house. Standard Bots is migrating off a PEO onto Workday, with a January 1 go-live, and we’re hiring a Payroll Specialist to own payroll end-to-end from day one of that transition. This is a hands-on role with real scope. You’ll run every payroll cycle, own the accuracy of what lands in employees’ bank accounts, and be the person the rest of the company comes to with payroll questions. You’ll also help finish standing up Workday Payroll – testing, parallel runs, configuration cleanup – and then run the system you helped build. If you like the combination of building something new and running it well, this is that job. You’ll report directly to the Senior Finance Manager and work closely with People Ops.
