Hi, Future Homie!
At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real-world impact. Here, every Homie shows up to raise the bar, support one another, and celebrate wins as a team.
We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. So what do you say, are you in?
📍Your Impact Starts Here
We’re looking for a Project Lead who will own the process of ensuring that our customers are up and running with Homebase Payroll. You will work with small businesses to understand their payroll needs and work closely with sales to gather required information to ensure an accurate and compliant implementation. You will own the onboarding process. You will own this process from start to finish, including helping the customer run their first payroll with Homebase. You will work in tandem with an Onboarding Implementation Specialist who will be responsible for the technical tasks, along with YTD and Demographic loads.
These are the key ways you’ll contribute and create impact in this role:
Own the end-to-end payroll implementation experience — you're the customer's primary point of contact from kickoff through first payroll run, keeping projects on track and on timeline
Collect and reconcile complex customer data including business entity details, employee demographics, and YTD payroll records from prior providers
Train customers on Homebase Payroll, ensuring they leave onboarding confident and self-sufficient
Investigate and resolve customer payroll questions by researching regulations, troubleshooting system issues, and partnering cross-functionally when needed
Collaborate with Sales to address implementation blockers that require customer follow-up
Surface product feedback and partner with Product and Engineering to improve customer-facing functionality and internal tooling
Maintain clean, accurate records in Salesforce throughout every implementation
Collaborate in-office Monday through Thursday
🚀 The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:
3+ years in an Implementation, Onboarding, Payroll, or Project Management role at a SaaS company; payroll implementation experience strongly preferred
Proven project management experience managing multiple client engagements simultaneously
Advanced in Excel or Google Sheets — you're comfortable cleaning, reconciling, and working through large data sets
Hands-on experience with CRMs (e.g., Salesforce), phone systems, and basic technical troubleshooting
A clear, confident communicator who can translate complex payroll concepts for customers and internal stakeholders alike
A strong problem-solver who can navigate ambiguity, research state-by-state regulations, and find answers independently
Energized by complex systems with rules that vary by state, county, and municipality
Metrics-driven with a track record of hitting individual and team goals
Highly organized with a strong sense of ownership — you drive work to completion and flag risks early
🤖 AI Fluency Expectations (Required) - In this role, you will be expected to:
Actively use AI tools to improve implementation workflows and operational efficiency.
Partner with others to test, measure, and refine AI-driven solutions.
Use data to evaluate AI performance and recommend improvements.
Continuously learn and adapt as AI capabilities evolve.
