In France, recurring operational work is growing across employee lifecycle administration, field sales hiring and payroll coordination. You’ll join a hands-on, detail-driven team where operational excellence and employee care go hand in hand.

This is a Working Student position supporting the People Operations & Payroll team in France. You’ll take ownership of recurring administrative and payroll support tasks, help keep our data accurate and up to date, and make sure employees and managers get timely, clear support.
