Job Summary

Job Summary

Galileo is looking for an agile and service-minded Seasonal Payroll Specialist to join our highly collaborative People Operations team. This seasonal team-member supports all summer payroll processes, and will play an integral role in ensuring all 2,500+ summer employees are paid on time and accurately through our busiest season. We value divergent thinkers who bring various experiences and viewpoints to the table at Galileo. We strongly encourage members of underrepresented groups and people of diverse backgrounds to apply. ABOUT GALILEO Galileo’s mission is to develop innovators who envision and create a better world. We know it’s bold. We also know that we can’t achieve it without asking staff to be role models of an innovator’s mindset—visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and reflective. It’s not always easy. Camp staffers work hard. Very hard. You can expect days in which there’s a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it. But part of what makes our culture great is that no one is too proud to complete any task that needs doing. Our camp staffers bring camp magic to life—for campers, and for themselves.
