Key skills for this role
For more than 30 years, Melita Group has helped small and mid-sized employers solve the complexity of HR, Employee Benefits, and Payroll. We combine deep expertise with a modern technology platform to deliver outsourced services that let our clients focus on growing their businesses while we handle the operational backbone of their workforce. We are a results-driven, high-integrity organization that holds itself accountable to its promises, and our clients stay with us for years, often decades, because we treat their success as our own. As we scale, we are investing heavily in technology, automation, and AI to raise the bar on what an HR outsourcing partner can deliver.
Every new client relationship begins with implementation, and the quality of that experience sets the trajectory for retention, expansion, and reference-ability for years to come. The Implementation Specialist is a hands-on role that supports bringing complex HR, benefits, and payroll clients live on our platform. You will do the configuration, data migration, and testing yourself, not just manage it from a distance.
Reporting to the Head of Implementations, you will support onboardings end to end and be the connective tissue that ensures what was sold is what gets delivered. This role is ideal for someone who has implemented outsourced Payroll and HR services at a PEO, an HRO, or an HRIS technology vendor, and who wants to do the work, contribute to the outcome, and help shape how we implement as we scale.
Reports to: Head of Implementations (Molly Taylor)
Department and team: Client Success, Implementation Team
Location: Remote (U.S.)
Key partners: Sales, Client Success, Service Delivery, the internal Technology team, Product, and Finance, along with HRIS and benefits carrier partners
