About BAM!

Brains & Motion Education, Inc. (BAM!) is one of the fastest-growing providers of afterschool enrichment and summer camps nationwide. We spark joy and ignite potential in tens of thousands of students by blending STEM challenges, character-building sports, and creative arts.

Behind that impact is a complex, multi-state, seasonal workforce — and a growing HR technology ecosystem that must be accurate, compliant, and scalable.

About the Role

The HR Operations & Systems Manager is the system owner of our HR technology infrastructure, with primary responsibility for Paycom administration, payroll integrity, workforce data governance, and cross-system operational accuracy.

This role is not simply a payroll processor. It is a systems-driven operator responsible for ensuring clean data, accurate payroll, compliant multi-state configuration, and seamless workforce processes across a seasonal and geographically distributed team.

You will partner closely with HR, Finance, and Operations to ensure our HR systems function as a reliable control environment and operational backbone for the organization.

5. Onboarding, Benefits & Compliance Support

6. Training & Change Management
