About Keka
Keka is India’s most loved HR Tech platform, powering HR, Payroll, and Performance for 10,000+ growing organizations. We don’t just serve customers—we champion their success with obsession. At Keka, CX isn’t a team. It’s a way of life.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Payroll Domain Expert to lead the charge in solving some of the most complex, nuanced payroll puzzles Indian SMBs throw at us. This is not a classic CS role.
You're a Player-Coach + Solution Architect who’ll help customers transition from chaos to clarity during onboarding and post-go-live, and shape Keka’s Payroll experience from the ground up.
You’ll build a Payroll Customer Success Centre of Excellence (CoE) and lead a high-impact charter focused on solving implementation challenges, creating scalable playbooks, influencing product, and driving adoption.

This role reports to the SVP – Customer Experience and offers an opportunity to shape the future of Payroll experience at Keka.

What You’ll Do
Customer Engineering & Onboarding
  • Serve as the Payroll Solution Architect during implementation, translating complex payroll configurations into product-ready structures.
  • Engage hands-on with customers to resolve salary structures, PF/ESI/PT/TDS setups, and other statutory workflows.
  • Act as the go-to expert for Payroll Reconciliations, handling YTD mismatches, retro pay, and edge-case exceptions.
  • Ensure go-lives happen with clarity, compliance, and customer confidence.
Solutioning & Escalation Management
  • Function as a Tier-2 escalation expert for high-complexity payroll issues.
  • Collaborate with Support, Product, and Engineering to close the loop on recurring friction points.
  • Contribute to building internal resolution protocols and solution templates.
Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Relay ground-level insights to Product and influence roadmap decisions that improve Payroll UX, validations, and automation workflows.
  • Represent the customer voice in internal prioritization and beta feedback loops.
Team Building & CoE Formation

  • Be the founding member of Keka’s Payroll CS Centre of Excellence.
  • Mentor new hires, build training pathways, and codify knowledge into repeatable, scalable processes.
  • Own the hiring blueprint and maturity model for this vertical.
Metrics, Dashboards & Continuous Improvement

  • Track metrics like payroll adoption, reconciliation success rates, time-to-resolution, NPS, CSAT, and churn risk.
  • Build dashboards to proactively flag red zones and engage high-risk accounts before they escalate.
  • Feed these insights into automation journeys and self-serve modules.
What You Bring
  • 4–6+ years in Payroll Implementation, Consulting, Customer Success, or Support in B2B SaaS or HRTech.
  • Deep command over Indian payroll regulations, statutory calculations (PF, ESI, TDS, PT), and variant salary structures.
  • Strong analytical acumen for reconciliation, retro-pay, and edge-case salary configs.
  • Experience translating business requirements into scalable platform configurations.
  • Proven ability to work with Product, Engineering, and CX teams to ship meaningful changes.
Bonus If You Have
  • Experience with SaaS platforms like Keka, Zoho People, GreytHR, Darwinbox, etc.
  • Exposure to digital CS motions: email cadences, in-app nudges, self-serve enablement.
  • Familiarity with tools for ticketing, product usage analytics, and customer journey tracking.

Why Join Us?
  • Build what doesn’t exist yet – Own and scale Keka’s first-ever Payroll CS CoE.
