The Mission:

We're looking for an experienced and hands-on HR Operations Senior Manager to own the full spectrum of HR ops — from payroll and immigration to equity reporting and employer-of-record arrangements. You'll lead a team of 3, and play a central role in our ongoing global HR transformation with ADP as our external payroll partner.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves building rigorous processes, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

Key responsibilities include :

Payroll Management & Compliance

Lead end-to-end payroll operations for all Group entities — accurate, on time, every time.

Audit and analyse current payroll and admin processes; propose and implement improvements.

Drive testing and deployment of payroll system upgrades in the context of our global ADP implementation.

Oversee variable pay elements (EVP), including monthly, quarterly, semi-annual commission models and annual variable payouts.

Manage mandatory social declarations (DSN), including training contributions, Agefiph, and Equity Stock Options.

Lead annual mandatory social declarations and keep contribution rates up to date.

HR Administration & People Ops

Ensure accurate and timely processing of new hires, transfers, salary changes, leaves, and terminations in the HRIS.

Collaborate with Talent Acquisition and HRBPs to guarantee seamless employee lifecycle management.

Manage leave requests and ensure policy compliance across the HRIS.

Distribute internal payroll reports on a scheduled basis; prepare data for external audits, finance, and the broader People team.

Support operational teams and management on all topics within the HR Ops scope.

Immigration & International Mobility

Manage visa applications, work permits, and work authorization for international hires and transfers.

Navigate multiple jurisdictions under strict legal deadlines — with precision and no surprises.

Employer of Record (EOR)

Structure and oversee EOR arrangements in countries where we don't have a local entity.

Handle contract setup, local payroll coordination, and third-party provider management end to end.

Apprenticeships, Internships & OPCO

Administer apprenticeship and internship contracts: pay scales, amendments, funding, and OPCO relations.

Liaise with partner institutions and ensure compliance with all related obligations.

Equity & Mandatory Reporting

Handle tax and declarative aspects of employee shareholding (free shares, stock options, BSPCEs).

Lead mandatory reporting obligations including INSEE surveys and BDESE contributions.

What We’re Looking For :

Experience

• 7+ years of experience in HR Operations, Payroll, or People Ops — ideally in a fast-scaling tech or international environment.

• Proven track record managing payroll for a multi-entity group, including variable pay structures.

• Experience with HR system implementations or migrations (ADP experience a strong plus).

• Prior team management experience — you know how to develop people while keeping operations tight.

• Hands-on experience with immigration processes and/or EOR management.

Skills & Knowledge

• Deep knowledge of French labor law, social declarations (DSN), and payroll compliance.

• Comfortable working across jurisdictions and adapting to different local requirements.

• Strong analytical mindset — you spot errors before they become problems.

• Fluent in French and English (written and spoken) — both are used daily.

• Proficient with HRIS platforms and payroll tools; Excel/Sheets skills to back it up.

Soft Skills & Mindset

• You're a builder: you don't just manage processes, you improve them.

• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.

• Calm under pressure, especially around payroll close and regulatory deadlines.

• A natural collaborator — you work seamlessly with Finance, Legal, HRBPs, and business leaders.

• Direct, clear communicator who brings structure to complex topics.
