• Cross-Functional Projects & Compliance
• Contribute to CSE, BDESE, social audits, practice harmonization, and integrations (M&A).
• Update policies (remote work, working hours) and internal regulations.
• Collaborate with Finance and Workplace; daily interaction with the Berlin People team.

Your Profile

• Fluent French and professional English (constant interactions with Berlin).
• Master’s degree (HR / Payroll / Management) and 2–5 years of experience in HR admin & payroll in a dynamic environment.
• Mastery of payroll in a Syntec / ADP environment, DSN / URSSAF, and social obligations.
• Strong knowledge of French labor law and GDPR best practices.
• Ability to write clear processes and automate controls (rules, thresholds, reconciliations).
• Proficiency with HRIS / payroll tools and data.
• Employee experience orientation, pedagogical communication, service mindset.
• Rigor, confidentiality, attention to detail, prioritization and responsiveness; high autonomy and ownership.
