The Mission:

We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on HR Operations Senior Manager to own the full spectrum of HR ops — from payroll and immigration to equity reporting and employer-of-record arrangements. You’ll lead a team of 3, and play a central role in our ongoing global HR transformation with ADP as our external payroll partner. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves building rigorous processes, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.

Key responsibilities include :

Payroll Management & Compliance

• Lead end-to-end payroll operations for all Group entities — accurate, on time, every time.
• Audit and analyse current payroll and admin processes; propose and implement improvements.
• Drive testing and deployment of payroll system upgrades in the context of our global ADP implementation.
• Oversee variable pay elements (EVP), including monthly, quarterly, semi-annual commission models and annual variable payouts.
• Manage mandatory social declarations (DSN), including training contributions, Agefiph, and Equity Stock Options.
• Lead annual mandatory social declarations and keep contribution rates up to date.

HR Administration & People Ops

• Ensure accurate and timely processing of new hires, transfers, salary changes, leaves, and terminations in the HRIS.
• Collaborate with Talent Acquisition and HRBPs to guarantee seamless employee lifecycle management.
• Manage leave requests and ensure policy compliance across the HRIS.
• Distribute internal payroll reports on a scheduled basis; prepare data for external audits, finance, and the broader People team.
• Support operational teams and management on all topics within the HR Ops scope.

Immigration & International Mobility

• Manage visa applications, work permits, and work authorization for international hires and transfers.
• Navigate multiple jurisdictions under strict legal deadlines — with precision and no surprises.

Employer of Record (EOR)

• Structure and oversee EOR arrangements in countries where we don’t have a local entity.
• Handle contract setup, local payroll coordination, and third-party provider management end to end.

Apprenticeships, Internships & OPCO

• Administer apprenticeship and internship contracts: pay scales, amendments, funding, and OPCO relations.
• Liaise with partner institutions and ensure compliance with all related obligations.

Equity & Mandatory Reporting

• Handle tax and declarative aspects of employee shareholding (free shares, stock options, BSPCEs).
• Lead mandatory reporting obligations including INSEE surveys and BDESE contributions.

What We’re Looking For :

Experience

• 7+ years of experience in HR Operations, Payroll, or People Ops — ideally in a fast-scaling tech or international environment.
• Proven track record managing payroll for a multi-entity group, including variable pay structures.
• Experience with HR system implementations or migrations (ADP experience a strong plus).
• Prior team management experience — you know how to develop people while keeping operations tight.
• Hands-on experience with immigration processes and/or EOR management.

Skills & Knowledge

• Deep knowledge of French labor law, social declarations (DSN), and payroll compliance.
• Comfortable working across jurisdictions and adapting to different local requirements.
• Strong analytical mindset — you spot errors before they become problems.
• Fluent in French and English (written and spoken) — both are used daily.
• Proficient with HRIS platforms and payroll tools; Excel/Sheets skills to back it up.

Soft Skills & Mindset

• You’re a builder: you don’t just manage processes, you improve them.
• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Calm under pressure, especially around payroll close and regulatory deadlines.
• A natural collaborator — you work seamlessly with Finance, Legal, HRBPs, and business leaders.
• Direct, clear communicator who brings structure to complex topics.
