Responsibilities

• HR Process Analysis: Review existing Payroll and Rewards processes, identify areas for improvement and assess their effectiveness against business needs and industry standards.

• Change & Implementation Support: Contribute to change management activities, including stakeholder communication, training and supporting the adoption of new processes and HR technologies.
• Data & Business Analysis: Work with HR-related data to identify trends, evaluate process performance and assess the impact of implemented improvements.
• Risk & Compliance: Consider relevant legal, regulatory and compliance requirements when designing and optimizing HR processes and help identify potential risks.
• Continuous Improvement: Follow developments in HR, Payroll, Rewards and R2P, identifying new approaches and technologies that could enhance existing processes.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of professional experience in HR, with strong knowledge of Payroll and/or Compensation & Benefits processes.
• Previous exposure to HR transformation, process improvement, transition, scope expansion or similar change initiatives.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work confidently with HR data and process-related information.
• Experience working with HR systems, such as Workday, SAP HCM or comparable solutions.
• Good understanding of compliance, regulatory and risk-related aspects of HR processes.
• Ability to prepare professional process documentation, presentations and analyses using MS Office tools, including Excel, PowerPoint and Visio.
• Excellent English communication skills, allowing you to work effectively with international stakeholders and clients.
• A consulting-oriented approach, with strong problem-solving, structured thinking, stakeholder management and focus on delivering measurable value.
• Hybrid work model - approximately 40% of your time spent in the office (around 8-9 days per month), with the remainder working remotely.
• Flexible working hours - schedules can be adjusted to align with project needs and the client’s time zone.
• Global projects - collaborate with teams and clients from across the world, including Europe, the U.S., and Asia.
• International environment - daily communication in English, often with clients from outside Europe.
• Comprehensive benefits package - including private medical care, life insurance, and a cafeteria system (e.g., Multisport, vouchers, event tickets).
