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.

You'll use your deep knowledge of Canadian payroll to configure systems, validate data, test results, and guide clients through their first live payroll runs. You'll also train and support them, ensuring every setup is compliant, accurate, and delivered with care.

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.
