Role Description The Tax Compliance Integrity Team is responsible for validating that all compliance changes implemented by the Execution and Development teams perform correctly, accurately, and completely before those changes are submitted to the independent QA team for final production sign-off. The team serves as the compliance quality gate for the change lifecycle, ensuring that every update meets the requirements and acceptance criteria established by upstream Compliance teams and that no compliance gaps, calculation errors, or edge cases have been overlooked. The Tax Compliance Integrity Analyst plays a foundational role within the team. This individual is responsible for designing and executing test scenarios based on acceptance criteria from upstream Compliance teams, with a deliberate focus on identifying edge cases, boundary conditions, and jurisdiction-specific scenarios, in addition to standard happy-path testing. This role demands a strong command of payroll tax concepts, a methodical and skeptical approach to testing, and the ability to communicate findings clearly and constructively to peers across the other Compliance teams. Success in this role depends on asking the right questions before testing begins, uncovering issues that others might miss, and working collaboratively and constructively with other Compliance teams to ensure every compliance change is accurate, complete, and ready for release. The Analyst role is the entry point in the Integrity Team’s career progression (Analyst → Senior Analyst → Lead → Manager). At this level, the focus is on testing standard, well-defined compliance changes with clear acceptance criteria, with guidance and review available from senior team members. Key Responsibilities - Test Planning & Scenario Development - Thoroughly review requirements documents and acceptance criteria for routine and straightforward compliance changes from upstream Compliance teams prior to developing test plans. - Develop comprehensive test scenarios and test cases derived from the acceptance criteria, covering positive cases, negative cases, boundary conditions, and jurisdiction-specific edge cases. - Identify scenarios that may not be explicitly addressed in the acceptance criteria but represent realistic compliance risks. - Maintain organized test documentation for all assigned compliance changes according to team protocols. - Test Execution - Execute test scenarios against implemented changes in the designated test environment. - Document test results clearly in an approved format. - Provide a formal go/no-go testing certification for assigned compliance changes. - Defect Management & Resolution - Classify defects by type, track through to resolution, and retest corrected implementations. - Collaborate with other Compliance teams and the Development Team when defects are identified. - Participate in requirements review sessions with upstream Compliance teams and the Development Team. - Escalate unresolved defects, testing blockers, or go/no-go concerns to a senior member of the team. - Process Improvement & Team Support - Contribute to team testing standards, test documentation templates, and quality improvement initiatives. - Support continuous improvement efforts related to testing strategy, documentation practices, and workflow efficiency. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - 2+ years of experience in payroll tax compliance. - Solid working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax regulations, filing requirements, payment rules, and reporting standards. - Demonstrated experience testing, validating, or auditing payroll tax calculations, forms, or system configurations. - Ability to read and interpret system requirements documents and acceptance criteria. - Strong analytical and investigative mindset. - Clear and precise written communication skills. - Proven ability to collaborate constructively across cross-functional teams. - Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and completeness. - Ability to manage multiple testing assignments across multiple jurisdictions in a deadline-driven environment. - Comfortable working under direct supervision in a remote setting. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with payroll tax software, SaaS platforms, or ERP systems. - Experience with formal test case management tools or structured testing methodologies. - Understanding of electronic filing formats and data structures. - Experience writing business requirements, user stories, or functional specifications. - Familiarity with Agile methodologies and project/ticket management tools. - Proficiency with Excel and other Microsoft 365 products. - Active membership or participation in industry organizations. - Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) designation, or progress toward certification.
