The team:

You're joining as we reshape the People & Operations Experience team, which brings together ops, payroll, people tech, engagement and internal comms. That makes this a build-and-run role. You'll run payroll from day one and help design how the function works going forward, from processes to tooling to documentation.

The role

You'll take ownership of French payroll, starting with a proper handover from the colleague who runs it today and building towards running it independently. Alongside it, you'll look after the employee lifecycle: joiners, leavers and everything in between. It's real responsibility, with a team around you.

Your development goes in two directions: continuous improvement of how People Ops works, and a progressive move into Global Payroll (US, UK, Singapore) as your confidence and scope grow. Your arrival also creates room for the whole team to take on bigger things, and that includes you.

What you'll do

Own French payroll

Run the full monthly cycle: data collection, absences and leave, inputs, controls, validation and payslip checks

Prepare and submit statutory filings on time (URSSAF, DSN, IJSS/Net-entreprise and other mandatory declarations)

Manage variable pay and contractual changes, and build the VPI file for ADP Decidium

Work with Finance on transfer files, cost reporting, headcount tracking and variance analysis

Handle day to day equity payroll declarations (stock options / BSPCE) as you slowly build your expertise

Manage benefits, meal vouchers and provider relationships

Track regulatory changes and turn them into better processes

Run the employee lifecycle

Handle joiners and leavers: contracts, health insurance and transport registration, visa and absence data

Keep Workday data accurate and compliant

Help document and improve the processes being rebuilt, and contribute to cross-functional People projects

You'll work with Finance, Talent Acquisition, HRBPs, C&B and our provider ADP.

What you bring

2–3 years of French payroll experience, with hands-on exposure to the monthly cycle and a readiness to own it
