Introduction

Market Focus : United States only

About American Payroll Group (AMP)

American Payroll Group Inc. (AMP) is a newly launched U.S.-focused payroll outsourcing company under Castille Atlantic Inc. AMP provides end-to-end payroll services exclusively to businesses operating in the United States.

We are building AMP from the ground up and are hiring three Founding Payroll Operations Managers to jointly launch, structure, and scale the company.

This is a builder role, not a support role.

The Role

As a Founding Payroll Operations Manager , you will be one of three core operators responsible for taking AMP from zero to revenue.

All three hires will :

  • Have equal responsibility and authority
  • Work closely together
  • Self-delegate tasks
  • Be individually accountable for revenue and profit

You will combine payroll operations, process design, and client acquisition, and you will be directly measured on results.

Key Responsibilities

Shared Responsibilities (All Three Leads)

You will work collaboratively to :

  • Design and launch AMP’s payroll services website
  • Set up CRM systems and sales pipelines
  • Draft :

  • Cold email sequences
  • Cold calling / phone scripts
  • Follow-up templates
  • Build and document repeatable, scalable processes (SOPs)
  • Closely document all workflows and decisions
  • Research U.S. payroll market pricing
  • Define :

  • Service offerings
  • Service tiers
  • Pricing models
  • Client terms
  • Build AMP’s brand positioning and messaging
  • Work with the Project Manager on :

  • Client service agreements
  • Onboarding workflows
  • Participate directly in early payroll operations
  • Use and manage payroll software including (or similar to) :

  • OnPay
  • Gusto
  • ADP
  • Paychex
  • Individual Responsibilities (State Ownership)

    Once the foundation is built, each Lead will be assigned three U.S. states and will be individually responsible for :

  • Identifying and qualifying payroll outsourcing leads
  • Cold outreach (email, phone, LinkedIn)
  • Closing and onboarding first clients
  • Managing early client relationships
  • Generating monthly profit within assigned states
  • Performance and compensation are tracked individually, not pooled.

    90-Day Performance Expectations

  • Website and core systems launched within set time frame.
  • Outreach systems live within set time frame.
  • Minimum active clients per Manager by Day 30, as discussed with Project Manager
  • Clear documentation of all processes
  • Demonstrated revenue traction by the end of the contract
  • Failure to meet milestones without valid cause may result in early contract termination.

    Growth Opportunity

    If you achieve the set goals within the 90 days initial contract period.

    You will work with leadership to hire a direct report to handle payroll execution, allowing you to focus on growth and expansion.

    Successful candidates will be offered a permanent role as :

    Area Leader – Payroll (Assigned U.S. States)

    Which includes :

  • Competitive Salary
  • Benefits
  • Commission
  • This role includes :

  • Full ownership of assigned states
  • Team hiring and management
  • Revenue growth responsibility
  • Long-term leadership opportunity
  • Compensation

  • Guaranteed Pay : USD 150 per month for the first 3 months
  • Performance-Based Pay :
  • Compensation increases based on individual monthly profit , adjusted to local market standards

  • No commission caps
  • No pooled bonuses
  • Results determine earnings

    Ideal Candidate Profile

    You are :

  • A builder, not a task-taker
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and ownership
  • Strong in both operations and client acquisition
  • Highly self-directed and accountable
  • Required Experience

  • Proven experience in payroll operations
  • Hands-on experience with U.S. payroll systems
  • Experience with payroll software such as OnPay, Gusto, ADP, Paychex, or similar
  • Strong English communication skills (clear, professional, neutral accent)
  • Ability to cold outreach and close clients
  • Experience documenting processes and building systems
  • Preferred Background

  • Payroll, HR outsourcing, or BPO experience
  • Startup or early-stage business experience
  • Leadership or team-building experience
  • Candidates must be comfortable working U.S. business hours when required.

    Applicants should be prepared to :

  • Demonstrate prior payroll experience
  • Explain how they would build and scale a payroll business from zero
  • Show evidence of ownership, results, and execution
  • This role is not suitable

    for candidates seeking fixed hours, guaranteed salaries, or narrowly defined tasks
