Payroll and Equity Analyst

Location: Phoenix, AZ or Toronto, Canada (onsite Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri — 4 days)

Opendoor employs a talented workforce throughout the US and Canada across multiple legal entities. We're looking for a detail-oriented, fast-moving payroll and equity professional to support day-to-day execution of payroll processing and equity administration. This role reports to the Payroll and Equity Manager. You'll be the shared analyst across both payroll and equity administration: helping process payroll, and helping administer equity events such as RSU vestings, option exercises, and ESPP purchases.

Your Responsibilities

• Support multi-entity, multi-country payroll processing — US and Canadian payroll on semi-monthly cycles across multiple legal entities.
• Assist with payroll tax compliance across federal, state/provincial, and local jurisdictions.
• Support quarter end and year end processes, including auditing wages and verifying W-2 / T4 box configurations.
• Partner on equity payroll events — RSU vestings, option exercises, ESPP purchases with correct supplemental withholding; reconcile payroll records against our equity administration system (E*Trade).
• Help manage state/province complexity: final pay deadlines, paid leave programs, imputed income, cross-border sourcing.
• Use AI and automation to reduce manual processes, reconciliation and data flows.
• Prepare payroll and equity related journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Respond to employee questions on payroll and equity topics with speed, accuracy, and discretion.

What We're Looking For

• 2-3 years of US and Canada payroll experience, including multi-state / multi-province tax compliance and local withholding.
• Multi-entity payroll experience across hourly and salaried populations.
• A technology-forward operating style: hands-on use of AI tools to automate your own work.
• Exceptional accuracy, organization, and discretion with highly sensitive, confidential data.
• Strong communication skills with employees and cross-functional partners.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and comfort operating across multiple systems.

Bonus Points

• Equity / RSU compensation experience: RSU vesting, ESPP, option exercises, and E*TRADE Stock Administration.
• Rippling payroll experience.
• Payroll and equity journal entry and balance sheet reconciliation experience.
• Payroll certification (CPP / FPC).
• NetSuite experience.
