Payroll Technician

Anchorage, Alaska (Hybrid)

At the University of Alaska, payday isn’t just a date—it’s a carefully choreographed operation.

Behind the scenes, a team works in sync to make sure nearly 6,000 employees get paid accurately and on time every two weeks. And right at the heart of it all is the Payroll Technician—a detail-loving problem solver who keeps everything running smoothly. Each day, you step into a role where numbers tell stories. You enter payroll data with precision, double-check every figure, and make sure deductions—taxes, benefits, garnishments—are all exactly right. It’s a bit like being a detective too: when something doesn’t add up, you dig in, research the issue, and find the answer.

You’re not doing it alone. The payroll team collaborates closely, supporting one another to meet deadlines and keep things moving. There’s a rhythm to it—biweekly cycles, shared goals, and the quiet satisfaction of getting everything just right. If you’re someone who enjoys solving puzzles, values accuracy, and wants a strong starting point in HR, this role offers more than just a job—it’s a chance to learn, grow, and become an essential part of a system that keeps the university running.
