Private Equity Project Manager

You start your 2nd cup of coffee as you dial the number for France. The deadline is approaching and if registrations are not in place, the project will be delayed. “Good afternoon Sebastian, do you have good news?” “ARRCO & AGIRC are completed but URSSAF has not come through. We’re hoping to have by end of week.” “Partial good news, I’ll take it. We are at a standstill until URSSAF comes through; keep me posted. If we don’t have by Friday, we’ll have to discuss potential delay. Thank-you Sebastian, have a great afternoon.” Next, it’s on with the PE firm as they want to discuss resources coming over in the sale. They want PayTech to perform an evaluation of resources and report back with recommendations, all done very discreetly . You have a few minutes before your weekly internal status meeting, so you check a few emails. You learn that the TSA for Germany is no longer an option and you must go live a month earlier and the Parent company will not provide any US Banking information for the employees, leaving you to manually collect from 800 employees. The day progresses with meetings, challenges and creative solutions, finally ending with a call to India at 9 pm with the good news that all registrations are in place and the initial employee data file has been loaded and is ready for validation.

Each day is a new challenge in Private Equity we like to say it’s continuously unpredictable chaos. You will bring more than just your project management experience to the PE team. You’ll engage all your functional HCM expertise; HR, Payroll, HRIS and Benefits as well as change management & conflict resolution skills. We roll up our sleeves and get dirty on the PE team, so not only will you strategically manage complex M&A projects, you will also perform tactical activities alongside your teammates. The environments in which we work are in flux as companies change ownership or are carved out into new standalone businesses. Our clients rely on our expertise and skills to set them up for success in meeting their strategic objectives and the PE firms count on us to help them stabilize the environment and instill confidence in the employees. We consistently receive feedback from our clients & partners as to how they couldn’t have done the project without us. While our projects are complex, challenging and fast paced they are also extremely satisfying. We are solution driven and think outside the box to develop creative results for our clients.

PayTech PE projects are largely carve-out projects with a 45 to 60-day turnaround from engagement to first payroll processing. We work with Private Equity companies and advisory partners to implement the HRIS/Payroll system and onboard employees. A typical implementation includes HR, Payroll, Timekeeping and Benefits. Often there are no HR/Payroll resources that come over in the sale, so we are acting on behalf of the new company until resources are in place. We assist in many areas outside of implementation such as policy/process development, recruitment, communications, and training to name a few. As the HR/Payroll SME of the new company, the PE firm relies on our expertise to assist in guiding them to set up a system and processes to meet their strategic direction for the new company.

PayTech offers many services in the Project Management arena. Many of our projects have a global component and we have implemented in over 40 countries. You will have the opportunity to work with multiple systems and partners and expand your global knowledge as our global footprint grows. Due to the nature of our projects most of our work is performed remotely with periodic travel to the client.

These are full-time W-2 positions. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, bonus potential, and the opportunity for training and advancement.
