Job description

JOE & THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, offering much more than just juice, sandwiches, and coffee.

We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do:

• Inclusion
• Growth

For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new, you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.

From your first day, you'll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing and move through our Moneyball career path, our internal system that tracks your performance and fast-tracks you toward promotion. Most of our leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!), so you will always be part of a company built on that same journey. If you love a fast-paced environment, music, and people, and you like the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that takes you across cities, countries, and roles.

JOB SUMMARY

The position as Payroll Specialist - Mid EU will be a part of our Financial Shared Services department, which also includes Accounting and Accounts Payables. The position will be embedded and report to the Global Payroll Manager in the HQ - Copenhagen, Denmark. This role provides potential for growth within the company and the role offers an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to develop their career within Joe & The Juice. The role is a full-time position.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• The overall responsibility will be processing monthly Payroll in the following markets: Belgium, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Monaco and Germany (Note: all mid-EU payrolls are outsourced; you will be coordinating with a provider - for now; exception made for France and the Netherlands where it is done in-house).
• Responsible to onboard new joiners into payroll systems.
• Responsible to keep HRIS/employee data up-to-date, in cooperation with local HR teams, in regard to leave and absence, personal data, etc.
• Reconciling payroll data against accounting records, preparing and reviewing payroll-related bookings and journal entries, and supporting month-end close.
• Acting as the point of coordination between local HR, Finance and external payroll providers to ensure accurate and timely payroll delivery.
• Ad‑hoc HR / Payroll tasks as necessary.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have high attention to detail and a strong sense of confidentiality when handling sensitive employee data.
• You have strong communication skills and can liaise confidently with employees, HR, Finance and external payroll providers.
• You can manage competing deadlines across multiple markets and payroll cycles simultaneously.
• You have a proactive, problem‑solving mindset and are comfortable working in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Experience in multi‑jurisdiction payroll, ideally covering 2 or more countries within the Mid Europe market (Belgium, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Monaco).
• Fluent English required. Working proficiency in Dutch, German and/or French is a strong asset.
• Accounting experience, including reconciliation, bookings/journal entries and month‑end close support.
• Solid understanding of payroll principles and local labor/tax compliance across two or more Mid Europe markets.
• Proficiency with Excel and payroll/HRIS systems; comfortable working with large datasets.
