We partner with clients across industries to provide white-glove implementation support & System Optimization, layering on top of vendor teams to ensure a seamless transition.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll serve as a strategic extension of our clients’ teams, advocating for them through complex implementations and filling the gaps vendors can’t.

• Facilitate training sessions, build rollout plans, and guide change management efforts.
• Collaborate  with vendor implementation teams (Paycor, Paylocity, ADP, etc.) to align priorities and resolve issues.
• Think strategically about client needs, identifying creative solutions and opportunities to improve processes.
• Act as the client’s advocate—quickly learning their organization and ensuring  deadlines, compliance, and project goals are met.
• Provide clear communication, documentation, and project tracking across multiple  client engagements.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: Proven track record implementing HCM and payroll systems (Paycor and/or Paylocity strongly preferred).
• Strategic mindset: Ability to think outside the box to solve client challenges  and streamline processes.
• Multi-tasking ability: Comfortable managing multiple clients and projects simultaneously.
• Technical & functional knowledge: Strong background in payroll, HR processes, reporting, and data management.
• Change management & training skills: Confident leading clients through adoption and rollout.
• Communication:  Excellent written, verbal, and client-facing skills; comfortable being the  "face" of the project.
• Growth mindset: Eager to learn, expand your expertise, and grow with the organization.

Why Join TKG?

• Work with a collaborative, innovative team in a fast-growing boutique consulting firm.
• Be part of high-visibility projects that directly impact client  success.
• Gain exposure to diverse industries, implementations, and strategic HR/payroll transformations.
• Opportunities  to expand into leadership, strategy, and process design as we grow.
• Remote-first environment with flexibility and autonomy.
