Description du poste

As our new Senior People Operations in France, you will play a key role in building strong, reliable, and scalable People Operations foundations during a moment of growth and transformation. After our recent acquisition and the integration of our French subsidiaries, we are unifying processes, strengthening collaboration, and preparing for our next stage of scale.

In this role, you will own People Operations topics, ensuring smooth, compliant, and efficient HR processes while working closely with our People Operations team in Germany to harmonise workflows and optimise systems across the group.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being hands‑on, building, improving, and solving problems, a proactive, structured, and resilient person who naturally takes ownership and thrives in a dynamic, evolving environment. If you excel at bringing clarity to complexity, this role is a perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and continuously improve HR Operations in France, covering the full employee lifecycle (contracts, HRIS and employee data, onboarding/offboarding, payroll coordination, benefits, and all HR documentation).
• Ensure full compliance with French labour law, translating requirements into clear, scalable People policies and processes.
• Identify inefficiencies in workflows and systems, and take ownership of improving or rebuilding them end to end.
• Drive process harmonization by collaborating with our global People Operations team to implement shared standards and streamlined tools across the group.
• Act as a trusted point of contact for employees and managers, providing operational guidance with empathy, structure, and clarity.
• Maintain high‑quality HR data and documentation to support audits, reporting, and confident decision‑making.
• Work closely with Finance, Legal, Talent Acquisition, IT, and HRBPs to deliver a consistent and efficient employee experience.

Who You Are

• You have extensive years of experience in People Operations / HR Operations ideally in a fast‑paced, international environment (scale‑up or tech company is a plus).
• You have strong knowledge of French labour law and feel confident applying it to real business situations.
• You are highly structured, proactive, and solution‑oriented, someone who improves processes rather than just maintaining the status quo.
• You enjoy working with modern HRIS systems and bringing clarity and accuracy to HR data.
• You balance compliance with empathy, you care about processes and people.
• You’re fluent in French and English, and comfortable working in an international environment.
• You thrive in teams that value honesty, transparency, ownership, and kindness.

Grow With Us – A career‑accelerating role with responsibility from day one and the opportunity to expand your scope.
Supportive Culture – A team that balances ambition with humility, structure with flexibility, and excellence with empathy.
Room to Experiment – You’ll have the trust and freedom to test ideas, learn fast, and continuously improve.
