Fathom Realty is looking for a Payroll Manager to take full ownership of their end-to-end payroll and commission operations. As a publicly traded, remote-first real estate brokerage, Fathom offers a unique opportunity to manage a national multi-state workforce of agents and corporate staff.
If you're ready to step into a high-visibility role where you run the entire function—from compliance to HRIS administration—this is the perfect career move for a payroll professional seeking real autonomy and impact.
Role overview
As Payroll Manager, you will lead the end-to-end payroll function for both corporate employees and agent commissions. You’ll manage multi-state tax compliance, administer the HRIS platform, and partner with Finance and HR on audits. This is a high-impact operating seat offering full ownership of the payroll cycle within a dynamic public company environment.

What you will do
- Execute the full end-to-end payroll cycle, ensuring accurate and timely payments for a distributed corporate staff and thousands of affiliated agents.
- Maintain rigorous compliance with federal and multi-state payroll tax regulations, managing all necessary filings, documentation, and year-end audits.
- Administer and optimize the payroll and HRIS platform, handling system configurations, software integrations, and detailed financial reporting for HR and Finance.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience owning full-cycle payroll for a sizable, multi-state US workforce, with deep knowledge of federal and state wage and hour laws.
- Strong expertise in processing both traditional W-2 payroll and high-volume commission-based agent payouts within the real estate or service industries.
- Hands-on proficiency in administering modern payroll/HRIS platforms, with a track record of delivering clean reconciliations that stand up under executive review.
Why this role is remarkable
- Enjoy complete ownership of the payroll function at a publicly traded company, moving beyond a shared-services role into a true leadership position.
- Work in a fully remote environment with a lean, tight-knit corporate team where your contributions directly impact the financial health of thousands of agents.
- Gain unique experience managing complex, high-volume commission structures alongside standard multi-state W-2 payroll operations for a distributed national workforce.
