Every client's journey with PSI starts with Implementation - and that's where you come in.

As a Senior Payroll Implementation Advisor, you'll lead new Canadian clients through the process of setting up their payrolls with PSI.

This is not a payroll processing role. It's about configuration, compliance, and client partnership.

Your role directly shapes how new clients experience PSI - and helps build the trust that keeps them with us long-term.

This role can be based anywhere in Ontario, Canada, with a planned start date of November 2025.
