Payroll & Equity Adminstrator
About Base
Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About the Role
Base runs payroll for a growing, fully in-person team, and grants equity to employees who join. Both processes need someone who owns them fully and directly — not as a side responsibility bolted onto another role.
This role processes payroll every cycle, ensures the payroll journal entry integration is properly mapped, prepares the payroll departmental allocations that feed the books, and administers Base's equity program end to end: grants, vesting, exercises, and cap table hygiene. You'll also support the transition to a new equity administration platform and own the accounting for stock-based compensation.
You'll work closely with the broader accounting team on the entries that hit the books each period, with People on new hires, terminations, and comp changes, and with Finance office on equity grants and cap table questions.
