We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.

From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.

Are you ready to join us?

Our People team is on a mission to make work life smoother for every Back Maker — and payroll is at the heart of it. We're in the middle of an exciting HR transformation: automating People Operations end-to-end, strengthening our global payroll expertise, and making the whole experience genuinely better for our employees.

Based in Barcelona, you'll join the Payroll & People Operations team and own our Spanish payroll (currently ~90 employees and growing), while contributing to our international scope and HR automation agenda with Workday and AI tools.

YOUR MISSION (IF YOU ACCEPT IT) 🥇

- Own the end-to-end Spanish payroll cycle: collect and verify inputs, run payslip checks and reconciliations, and ensure accurate, on-time salary payments, taxes, and social contributions.

- Handle payroll queries with speed and a human touch — employees should always feel informed and supported.

- Coordinate with external payroll and benefits providers (Spain, UK, Germany, France) to keep data flows accurate and deadlines tight.

- Contribute to automating People Operations workflows (onboarding, offboarding, employee changes) using Workday and AI tools.

- Maintain data quality and consistency across HR, payroll, finance, and accounting systems — and build dashboards to track key metrics.

- Partner cross-functionally with HRBPs, Recruiters, Finance, Legal, and IT to deliver a seamless employee experience from day one to last day.

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF ⭐

You have:

- 4-5+ years of hands-on experience processing Spanish payroll

- A solid understanding of Spanish social security, tax requirements, and employment legislation

- Experience working with external payroll providers and managing payroll stakeholders

- Strong analytical skills and a near-obsessive attention to detail

- Excellent communication skills in English (Spanish goes without saying)

Nice to have:

- Experience with Workday or Papaya Global

- Exposure to UK, Germany, or France payroll

- A degree in HR, Payroll, Accounting, Finance, or a related field — or equivalent experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
