THE MISSION:
We're looking for a sharp, structured operator to own payroll and HR operations end-to-end on a fixed-term basis — someone equally comfortable navigating compliance deadlines and redesigning a process from scratch. You'll sit at the core of our People function, touching everything from monthly payroll to international mobility and employer-of-record partnerships.
Key responsibilities include :
- Payroll & compliance
End-to-end management of monthly payroll runs, variable elements, and statutory filings (DSN). You'll make sure nothing slips — and spot issues before they become problems.
- Immigration & international mobility
Managing employee visa applications, work permits, and international hires — working to strict legal deadlines across multiple jurisdictions.
- Employer of Record (EOR) management
Structuring and overseeing EOR arrangements where we don't have a local entity — contract setup, local payroll coordination, and third-party provider management.
- Apprenticeships, internships & OPCO
Administering apprenticeship contracts and internship agreements — pay scales, OPCO relations, funding, amendments, and liaison with partner institutions.
- Equity & mandatory reporting
Tax and declarative aspects of employee shareholding (free shares, stock options), plus mandatory reporting including INSEE surveys and BDESE contributions.
- Employee lifecycle & process improvement
Owning HR processes from onboarding to offboarding — and continuously improving them. You won't just maintain the system; you'll help evolve it.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR :
- Payroll expertise (French payroll)
- DSN and statutory filings
- Immigration case management
- EOR and international operations
- OPCO and apprenticeship frameworks
- Equity administration (AGA / stock options)
- Process design mindset
- Rigorous and deadline-driven
- At least 5 years of experience in an HR Ops team, in a fast-pace environment
