The team:
You're joining as we reshape the People & Operations Experience team, which brings together ops, payroll, people tech, engagement and internal comms. That makes this a build-and-run role. You'll run payroll from day one and help design how the function works going forward, from processes to tooling to documentation.
THE ROLE
You'll take ownership of French payroll, starting with a proper handover from the colleague who runs it today and building towards running it independently. Alongside it, you'll look after the employee lifecycle: joiners, leavers and everything in between. It's real responsibility, with a team around you.
Your development goes in two directions: continuous improvement of how People Ops works, and a progressive move into Global Payroll (US, UK, Singapore) as your confidence and scope grow. Your arrival also creates room for the whole team to take on bigger things, and that includes you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
OWN FRENCH PAYROLL
- Run the full monthly cycle: data collection, absences and leave, inputs, controls, validation and payslip checks
- Prepare and submit statutory filings on time (URSSAF, DSN, IJSS/Net-entreprise and other mandatory declarations)
- Manage variable pay and contractual changes, and build the VPI file for ADP Decidium
- Work with Finance on transfer files, cost reporting, headcount tracking and variance analysis
- Handle day to day equity payroll declarations (stock options / BSPCE) as you slowly build your expertise
- Manage benefits, meal vouchers and provider relationships
- Track regulatory changes and turn them into better processes
RUN THE EMPLOYEE LIFECYCLE
- Handle joiners and leavers: contracts, health insurance and transport registration, visa and absence data
- Keep Workday data accurate and compliant
- Help document and improve the processes being rebuilt, and contribute to cross-functional People projects
- You'll work with Finance, Talent Acquisition, HRBPs, C&B and our provider ADP.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 2–3 years of French payroll experience, with hands-on exposure to the monthly cycle and a readiness to own it
- Solid knowledge of French social legislation (URSSAF, DSN) and experience with a payroll tool (ADP or similar)
- Rigour: you close the month on time, without being chased
- A builder's instinct: you document as you go and like making things work better
- Comfort working in English in a multicultural team
- Curiosity about international payroll and a real appetite to widen your scope
