Job description

The Mission: Revolutionize Payroll (Starting with the ultimate challenge)

We're looking for someone to help make Odoo fully compliant across the world. But let's start with a massive challenge: Belgian Payroll is notoriously complex, and no software has ever made it truly simple. We are about to change that.

Through a unique, exclusive partnership with Partena, we are co-creating a revolutionary Payroll product from scratch. Your mission? Solve the problems nobody else could. You will act as the mastermind connecting three different worlds: our brilliant R&D developers, the legal/payroll experts at Partena, and our business consultants.

You will transform complex labor laws and intricate business rules into a sleek, intuitive, and automated user experience. You don't need to be a payroll specialist on day one, but you must be smart, insanely curious, structured, and ready to learn fast.

If you have a "get it done" spirit, a critical mind, and the ambition to build a product that will impact thousands of businesses, this job is made for you!

Responsibilities

• Co-create a unique Payroll product in direct collaboration with Partena and Odoo's R&D.
• Understand complex payroll processes, compliance, and regulations, and translate them into simple software behaviors.
• Act as the key bridge between developers, Partena experts, and Odoo consultants.
• Own tasks from start to approval: transform ideas into clear specs and test the developments.
• Balance feature decisions with product vision and extreme simplicity.

Challenges

• Find incredibly simple solutions to highly complex legal and technical problems.
• Translate a "nightmare" of rules into a seamless UX.
• Manage priorities, deadlines, and fast-paced deployments.
• Take smart and fast decisions independently.

Must Have

• Master’s Degree or IT degree
• Experience in payroll/HR administration OR a strong willingness to learn fast
• Bad sense of humour
• Fluent in French & English
• Experience in UX
• Work permit for Belgium

What's in it for me?

• Occupy a 360° Product Owner position where you will use and develop multiple skills.
• Build a groundbreaking product from scratch in a unique partnership.
• Take ownership of real responsibilities and challenges in an incredibly fast-evolving company.
• Join a team of very smart people, while working in a friendly and open culture.
