• Maintain accurate records and ensure that relevant deadlines are met.

Improve processes, data and tools

• Keep employee data accurate and up to date in HiBob and other relevant systems.
• Contribute to the documentation of People processes in Notion.
• Identify recurring questions, inefficiencies and manual processes.
• Suggest practical improvements to simplify and improve the employee experience.
• Support automation and process improvements across our People tools and workflows.
• Contribute to basic People reporting and operational follow‑up.
• Work cross‑functionally with Finance, IT, Talent Acquisition and Talent Management to improve how we operate.

Must-have

• You have 1 - 2 years of experience in People Operations, HR administration, HR coordination, employee experience or a similar role.
• We are also open to recent graduates with a strong internship, apprenticeship or first experience in a structured HR environment.
• You are highly organised, reliable and attentive to detail.
• You are comfortable managing several requests and deadlines at the same time.
• You communicate clearly and empathetically in French, both verbally and in writing.
