As Senior People Operations Specialist, you will be the functional expert and operational backbone of the team. You will own France payroll governance, HRIS excellence, and People analytics, while coaching and supporting the rest of the team. You report to the Manager, People Operations & C&B and work closely with Finance, Legal, and People Partners across our 8-country EMEA organization.

Our tools: Lucca, BambooHR, Silae (outsourced payroll), Siit, Dust (AI & automation), Google Workspace.

Projects & international operations

• Lead or co-lead People projects with an international dimension (HRIS rollouts, process harmonization, tooling evolution),


• Support local People teams in adopting processes and new automated tools,
