Description du poste

What is needed

Someone who can own everything people-related on the ground in Europe: hiring, day-to-day HR, office life, and making sure every person who joins has a great experience from day one.

This is not a support role. You'll be the go-to person for the entire European team and work hand-in-hand with the Head of People to build something we're proud of.

What you'll own

Recruitment

• Run hiring end-to-end for European roles: sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, managing offers
• Build and maintain a strong talent pool so we're never starting from zero
• Participate in optimising our hiring machine by leveraging AI tools to move faster and smarter
• Make candidates want to join — and understand why this team is worth it

Onboarding

• Handle all admin before day one (contracts, tools, paperwork, equipment)
• Coordinate the first week experience: welcome pack, breakfast, intro sessions
• Make sure every new joiner feels set up to do great work fast

HR ops & employee support

• Be the first point of contact for employee questions — answered within 24h
• Handle employment contracts, leave, and day-to-day HR admin
• Flag issues early and help solve them before they become problems

Office management — Paris

• Keep the office running smoothly: supplies, deliveries, maintenance, daily clean
• Coordinate with the building manager for facilities and any technical issues
• Create an environment people actually want to come to

Events & culture

• Coordinate team gatherings, offsites, and cohesion initiatives (random coffee, team lunches, etc.)
• Support the Head of People in making culture moments happen

Experience

• 3–5 years in a People / HR generalist or Talent role, ideally in a SaaS startup or scale-up environment
• Comfortable owning both recruiting and HR ops — you don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Familiar with French employment law and payroll basics
• You are familiar with AI tools - and not only ChatGPT

What makes you the right person

• You have a startup mindset: you move fast, figure things out, and don't need a perfect process to get started
• You're organised without being rigid — you can handle 10 things at once and nothing falls through the cracks
• You're a people person in the real sense: people trust you quickly, and you take that seriously
• You care about candidate and employee experience — the details matter to you
• You're solutions-oriented: when something's broken, you fix it and then make sure it doesn't break again

Nice to have

• Previous exposure to an international team — great if you've worked across cultures

What we offer

• A seat at the table — you'll work directly with the Head of People and have real ownership from day one
• A small, high-trust team where what you do is visible and matters
• A fast-moving environment where you'll learn more in 12 months than in 3 years elsewhere
• Competitive salary benchmarked to market
• Hybrid setup — 3 days in the Paris office, 2 days remote per week + 5 fully remote weeks per year
• A Paris office people actually enjoy coming to
