We’re looking for a payroll specialist to join our team here at Starbucks on a 6 month FTC

A place where you’re valued, challenged, and inspired. Where your voice is brewed into everything we do. At Starbucks, we’re all about you.

As part of this role, you’ll be responsible for processing accurate and timely payments for hourly pad and salaried partners (employees) on a four weekly pay cycle.

We’ll look to you to bring your experience of large volume payroll in a fast-paced, multi-site environment.
