Working Student Payroll & People Ops

About the team

Our Northern Europe Payroll & People Operations team keeps things running smoothly for SumUppers across Germany, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Denmark & Belgium, making sure payroll is accurate, compliant, and on time. In this role, you'll start with a real focus on Germany, building solid foundations in payroll and people operations before gradually getting exposure to other countries and broader areas of the people ops and payroll space. You'll be the person SumUppers turn to with their questions, the one making sure payroll data is complete and correct, and the one digging into the detail to find what's missing. If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely grow your skills and develop over time, this is a great place to start.
