Payroll Analyst
Kahului, Hawaiʻi (with occasional statewide support)
Full-Time | Non-Exempt
Department: Accounting
Reports to: Payroll Manager
Compensation: $30-$35 per hour

The Opportunity

Let’s be real — payroll isn’t just numbers. It’s trust. It’s precision. It’s making sure every single person in the field and behind the scenes gets paid right, on time, every time.

At Alpha Inc., we’re not looking for someone who “runs payroll.”
We’re looking for someone who owns it.

Someone who sees patterns others miss.
Someone who can spot a discrepancy before it becomes a problem.
Someone who can handle complexity, confidentiality, and chaos — without flinching.

If you take pride in getting it right down to the last cent — and you’re wired to improve systems, not just maintain them — keep reading.

About Alpha Inc.

We’re not a typical construction company.

We’re a Hawaiʻi-grown force building infrastructure that actually matters — across civil, concrete, energy, drilling, and beyond. And we do it with intention.

Our culture isn’t corporate fluff, it’s how we operate every day:

• Lead with Heart – Respect isn’t optional. People come first.
• Strength in Unity – No silos. No egos. One team.
• Alpha Mentality – We take ownership, push limits, and execute.

You won’t just process payroll here, you’ll be part of a company scaling fast and doing meaningful work across the islands.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Alpha Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We do not discriminate based on any protected status under federal or Hawaiʻi law, and we provide equal opportunity in all employment practices, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, compensation, benefits, and training.

Location: Kahului, Hawaiʻi
Department: Operations
Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt
Annual Compensation: $80,000.00-$90,000.00 based on experience.

The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Process Analyst who can walk into messy, moving parts and turn them into clean, usable systems.

This is not a “write documents no one reads” kind of role.

This is a listen-hard, ask-better-questions, connect-the-dots, build-the-playbook kind of role.

You’ll work across all departments to understand how work actually gets done, where things break down, and how to make processes clearer, smarter, and easier to follow. You’ll turn tribal knowledge into practical SOPs, vague handoffs into clear ownership, and everyday frustrations into better ways of working.

If you’re the kind of person who sees a gap and thinks, “We can fix this,” instead of waiting for someone else to point it out — keep reading.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a locally owned Hawaiʻi company built on heavy civil construction, water well drilling, underground utilities, concrete, renewable energy, and infrastructure work that impacts island communities for generations. We’re growing, evolving, and investing in better systems, stronger teams, and smarter ways to deliver high-quality work.

Our culture is shaped by three core values:

Leading with Heart – We lead with humility, empathy, respect, and care for people.
Strength in Unity – We win as one team, across departments, divisions, and jobsites.
Alpha Mentality – We bring grit, accountability, curiosity, and the drive to keep getting better.

As Process Analyst, you’ll help make those values operational — not just words on a wall, but habits built into how work gets done.

What You Will Do

As Process Analyst, you’ll be a builder of clarity. You’ll study workflows, talk to the people doing the work, identify breakdowns, and create processes that people can actually use.

Turn Complexity Into Clarity

• Analyze current workflows across Operations and cross-functional departments to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, duplicated work, unclear ownership, and missing steps.
• Map current-state and future-state processes using SOPs, flowcharts, process maps, checklists, and other documentation tools.
• Translate input from multiple stakeholders into clear, practical, step-by-step procedures that help people do the work correctly and consistently.

Build SOPs People Will Actually Use

• Create SOPs that are simple, specific, and field-ready — not overly complicated, not full of corporate fluff, and not dependent on someone having to explain the document every time.
• Ensure processes clearly define who owns what, when steps happen, what systems are used, and how success is measured.
• Maintain documentation so process changes are current, accessible, and communicated to the right people.

Connect Departments, Not Create Silos

• Work with all departments to understand how one process affects another.
• Anticipate ripple effects before changes are rolled out.
• Help teams align around shared workflows, clean handoffs, and common expectations.

Find the Gaps and Help Fix Them

• Conduct root cause analysis to understand why problems are happening, not just where they show up.
• Recommend process improvements that reduce waste, improve productivity, strengthen accountability, and support Alpha’s growth.
• Support the implementation of digital tools, automation, LMS platforms, Confluence-style knowledge bases, dashboards, or other systems that make work easier and more consistent.

Support Training and Adoption

• Help explain, present, and train others on new or updated processes.
• Partner with leaders and team members to make sure people understand not only the “what,” but the “why.”
• Support continuous improvement meetings, workshops, and follow-ups to keep momentum moving.

Track What Matters

• Create reports, dashboards, or tracking tools that help measure whether process changes are working.
• Monitor KPIs and operational metrics after implementation.
• Use data, feedback, and real-world observation to refine processes over time.

What You Bring

You’re organized without being rigid. Curious without being intrusive. Detailed without losing the big picture. You can sit with a department leader, talk with someone doing the work every day, and turn both perspectives into something practical.

Experience

• 3+ years of experience in process analysis, continuous improvement, operational support, project coordination, business analysis, SOP development, or a related role.
• Experience documenting workflows, building SOPs, improving processes, or supporting cross-functional operational projects.

Skills & Mindset

• Strong communication skills — you ask good questions, listen well, and explain things clearly.
• Excellent writing ability — you can write clean, simple, step-by-step SOPs that people can actually follow.
• High attention to detail — you catch missing steps, unclear ownership, broken handoffs, and vague instructions.
• Big-picture thinking — you understand that a change in one department can create a ripple effect across the company.
• Strong organization and prioritization skills — you can manage multiple SOPs, deadlines, and stakeholder needs without spinning out.
• Proactive problem-solving — you don’t wait around to be spoon-fed every step; you dig in, get curious, and move work forward.
• Relationship-building ability — you can work with different personalities, build trust, and make people feel supported through change.
• Technology comfort — strong working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a willingness to learn tools such as LMS platforms, Confluence, process mapping software, or other knowledge-management systems.
• Team-first attitude — no ego, no “that’s not my job” energy. You help find the answer, even when you don’t have it yet.

Who Will Thrive Here

• You’ll thrive in this role if you are the person people trust to make the complicated thing make sense.
• You don’t need a spotlight, but you do need impact. You like helping teams work better. You care about clean handoffs, clear ownership, and fewer “wait, who was supposed to do that?” moments.
• You’re not here to create paperwork. You’re here to build systems that help Alpha scale with less chaos, more consistency, and stronger teamwork.

Most importantly, you embody:

Leading with Heart – You listen first, support people through change, and treat every department with respect.
Strength in Unity – You connect teams, break down silos, and help people work better together.
Alpha Mentality – You take ownership, solve problems, and keep improving the way work gets done.

Why Alpha?

At Alpha Inc., we’re not just building infrastructure — we’re building Hawaiʻi’s future with grit, care, and pride.

You’ll join a company that is growing, investing in people, embracing better technology, and committed to strengthening the systems that support high-performing teams.

This is your chance to help build the internal playbook for a company that’s moving fast, raising the bar, and refusing to settle for “that’s just how we’ve always done it.”

Notice to applicants:

We have seen a rise in recruitment scams. Please note that outreach from Khan Academy recruiters will only come from the @khanacademy.org domain. Our team does not use Gmail or other personal accounts for contacting potential candidates. Khan Academy will never solicit money, equipment fees, or sensitive financial information at any stage of the hiring process. We also do not work with external recruiting agencies, so outreach from headhunters presenting opportunities on behalf of Khan Academy is illegitimate. Please always check the email domain and cross-reference the position with the official Khan Academy Careers page to confirm an opening is valid.

ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY

OUR COMMUNITY 

Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life, and so do we. Our team includes people from academia, traditional/non-traditional education, big tech companies, and tiny startups.

We strive to be world-class in investing in our people and commit to developing you as a professional.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Staff UX Researcher to join our Design team. The heart of this role is not just conducting research, but building the high-performance engine that powers user understanding across our entire product. You will be the architect of our "People Who Do Research" (PWDR) program, empowering our Design team to conduct their own tactical research while you provide the methodological rigor, technical guardrails, and strategic oversight. We are looking for an expert who can lead our transition into AI-enhanced research operations—acting as the essential "Human-in-the-Loop" to ensure that as we accelerate our workflows, our insights remain grounded, ethical, and highly actionable.

You will play a vital role in scaling our impact, serving as a coach and consultant to product teams as they navigate the complexities of U.S. school districts. By building the playbooks and knowledge systems that turn raw data into institutional wisdom, you will help us fulfill the mission of the organization: to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• PWDR Program leadership and enablement: Refine and scale our "People Who Do Research" program. You will empower designers and product triads to conduct high-quality tactical UXR research (both qual and quant)  by providing the playbooks, training, and mentorship necessary to maintain rigorous standards across the team.
• AI strategy and research operations: Design, propose, and manage a research tech stack (including Dovetail) powered by responsible AI. You will implement automated workflows for recruiting, synthesis, and insight distribution, serving as the UXR "Human-in-the-Loop" authority to ensure AI-generated outputs are grounded, ethical, and accurate.
• Cross-product research, synthesis, and leadership:  Act as the Design Leadership Team’s expert on customer and user profiles, end-to-end user journeys, and forward-looking research. You will synthesize insights that span multiple product surface areas to identify "connective tissue," strategic gaps, and opportunities that go beyond the scope of individual embedded researchers or designers on product teams.
• Strategic advisory and methodological governance: Serve as a high-level internal consultant, guiding teams on the selection of lean vs. rigorous methodologies. You will lead or co-facilitate complex mixed-method studies when business needs require, providing the foundational frameworks (blueprints, journey maps) that keep teams aligned with the "big picture."
• Support the design team with on-site research in schools, providing guidance and ethical scaffolding, and ensuring legal compliance. U.S. based travel up to 20%.

Responsibilities may change as business and team needs evolve.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Mastery of research methods and rigor: 12+ years of UX research experience in complex enterprise software or SaaS environments. You have a deep command of the craft that allows you to spot flaws in research design or AI-generated summaries.
• Coaching skills: Proven experience in mentorship, coaching, or building "Research Ops" programs. You find as much professional fulfillment in enabling others to do great as you do in conducting the research yourself.
• Responsible AI fluency: Deep technical curiosity regarding GenAI and LLMs, with a practical understanding of their limitations. You know how to leverage AI for speed while acting as the ultimate guardrail for quality and ethics.
• Operational architecture: A track record of building scalable systems, templates, and workflows that have successfully improved the velocity and quality of a design organization.
• Design and product fluency: A sophisticated understanding of the product development lifecycle (PDLC) and software development lifecycle (SDLC), enabling you to integrate research checkpoints into the existing workflows of designers and engineers seamlessly.
• Communication and influence: Exceptional communication skills and "executive presence," with the ability to convince cross-functional leaders of the value of democratized (yet governed) research.
• Motivated by the Khan Academy mission “to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere."
• Proven cross-cultural competency skills demonstrating self-awareness, awareness of other, and the ability to adopt inclusive perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors to drive inclusion and belonging throughout the organization.

Qualities we value in ourselves, and those who join our team:

• Introspective, mature, low-ego, and emotionally intelligent
• Growth mindset, willingness to learn and to teach others
• Proactively seek out the people and info you need to move work forward and unblock yourself
• High comfort level working within a strong top-down product vision led by our CEO, Sal Khan
• Able to balance the immediate tactical needs of helping deliver and ship features with scouting ahead for what’s next
• Comfortable with ever-shifting priorities and ambiguous situations, like you’d experience in a startup
• Willing to roll your sleeves up and pitch in when a project goes off-script
• Excited about education and engaging learning experiences, deeply curious about how and why people learn
