The opportunity
JCPenney runs lean, which means our Payroll Specialist owns the full ledger rather than a slice of it. Boiled down: hybrid, $72,000 - $103,000, 3 years of Innovation, and a seat at the table where JCPenney decisions get made.
Key Responsibilities
- Reconcile the loan amortization schedule against every lender statement
- Validate revenue recognition in line with current accounting standards
- Keep depreciation schedules synced as assets retire across Springfield
- Audit travel and entertainment spend without becoming the bad guy
- Hand leadership a forecast they trust enough to hire against
- Close the books each month and ensure accuracy across all entries
What You'll Bring
- Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
- Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
- Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
JCPenney is a deeply collaborative Springfield, MA company born from the belief that finance tools should respect the people using them. Curiosity outranks credentials on this finance team, so bring questions, not just answers.
We offer a competitive salary of $72,000 - $103,000, comprehensive health coverage, and a clear path to grow into senior finance work.
We refreshed it today so candidates know the hybrid role is genuinely open.
