About Derek Zimmerman

As a Payroll & Benefits Manager, I ensure employees feel confident in two of the most important parts of their work experience: their paycheck and their benefits. With proven expertise in payroll management, benefits administration, and compliance, I lead with both precision and a people-first mindset. What I bring to the table: End-to-end payroll management with a focus on accuracy and timeliness Oversight of benefits programs, enrollment, leaves, and vendor relationships Strong knowledge of compliance, reporting, and process optimization Collaborative leadership across HR, finance, and operations teams I’m known for building trust, simplifying complexity, and leading teams through system improvements and process changes without losing the human touch. My goal is to create payroll and benefits functions that not only run smoothly but also enhance the employee experience. I’m excited to connect with organizations that value accuracy, compliance, and care in how they support their people.
