Payroll Analyst (Contractor)

ABOUT VSCO For years, we've helped photographers create their work. Now we're building what comes next. VSCO exists for photographers. Not as a side feature, not as an afterthought, but as the whole point. We build the connected system photographers rely on, and we've spent over a decade earning the trust of a global creative community that takes the craft seriously. Photography is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping what's possible for creative work, and that's where our mission shines. VSCO is building the full photographer's workflow: from creating and editing your work, to delivering it to clients, to running your business. All of it built thoughtfully, with photographers leading the way. We believe the future of photography tools creates more space for creativity, handling the busy work so photographers can focus on the craft. If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work. We're a mission-driven and focused company where your work ships quickly, is meaningful, and reaches tens of millions of people worldwide. You'll have a real say in what we build and how we build it. We hire people who don't wait to be asked, naturally connect the dots, care about the quality of what they ship, and believe the best outcomes come from building together. ABOUT YOU People Operations is where a company's values become real: in how someone experiences their first day, how people are set up to do great work, how a compensation change gets communicated, how a policy actually gets followed. We're hiring a People Operations Specialist who wants to own the systems and processes behind VSCO's employee and contractor experience, and who gets genuine satisfaction from making things run cleanly at scale. You'll work closely with our CEO and People Team to build and manage the infrastructure behind our workforce: our HRIS and contractor management systems, onboarding and offboarding workflows, compliance processes, and the data and reporting that help us make good decisions about our people. This isn't a generalist HR role. It's built for someone who thinks like an operator and an analyst: someone who sees a manual, inconsistent process and can't help but turn it into something clean, repeatable, and built for efficiency. If you're 3-5 years into your career, love building and managing systems that quietly make everything work better, and want to grow into a broader People or Operations leadership role, this is that opportunity. This role reports directly to the CEO and is based out of our San Francisco, CA office (minimum 3 days/week in office).

WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT * You've built or overhauled a people system or process before, taking it from messy to reliable * You’re great at organizing and documenting company policies ensuring they are effectively understood by everyone * You're naturally analytical, and default to data over gut feel when making recommendations * You're excited to grow: you see this role as a launchpad into broader People, Operations, or business leadership * You take ownership without waiting to be asked, and you sweat the details that others miss * You've worked with both employees and contractors and understand the practical differences between them * You're energized by the idea of shaping how VSCO's people function operates as the company scales COMPENSATION The base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000.
