Trayd
A construction payroll platform designed for same-day pay.
What Trayd does
Trayd is a B2B construction payroll platform and back office management system designed for same-day pay. We allow the 7M construction workers in the US to get access to their earned wages 7-10 days sooner than legacy payroll providers. With a unique spin on traditional payroll, Trayd is on a mission to create back office efficiencies for commercial subcontractors while simultaneously addressing the significant labor shortage affecting the $2.1TR North American construction industry. Trayd is bigger than construction payroll. It's the promise that the hardest working people get access to their money, as and when they need it, creating greater financial wellness across the board. Not only that, we are pioneering digital cash access for a demographic traditionally overlooked while simultaneously modernizing operations in an industry that has been slow to adapt. The challenges and opportunities with Trayd are abundant, promising an engaging journey ahead.

What the role involves
Implementations Analyst New York, NY (in-person, SoHo) $85,000 to $100,000 Base Salary + Meaningful Equity Trayd, in one sentence Trayd is building the operating system for commercial construction: payroll, compliance, and back office workflows that actually work in the real world. Construction is one of the largest industries in North America, yet much of the software that runs it is outdated, manual, and fragile. Companies spend hours every week reconciling payroll, tracking job costs, and managing compliance across disconnected systems. The consequences of mistakes are real. Workers do not get paid correctly. Businesses lose time and money. Stress compounds. We are changing that. We help subcontractors run payroll, manage workers, and operate their businesses with confidence. That means onboarding is not a checkbox process. It is a critical moment where customers trust us with their data, their workflows, and their business operations. We are in the next phase of growth, with accelerating customer demand and a platform that runs real payroll every week, and we are scaling the team to match it.

Construction is one of the biggest industries in North America, and it still runs on a messy mix of spreadsheets, legacy payroll providers, and manual processes that break the moment things get even slightly complex.
