About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential streaming advertising technology company that is transforming how brands approach connected TV campaigns. Our client operates at the intersection of performance marketing and television advertising, serving thousands of brands across multiple markets.

We're seeking a People Operations Specialist to join their Systems and Operations team in Paris. This is a hands-on role with genuine ownership of payroll processes, HR administration, and employee support across France, the US, and remote geographies. You'll report to the Senior Global HR Systems and Operations Manager and play a central role in keeping the people infrastructure running smoothly during a period of significant growth.

Responsibilities

• Execute the monthly French payroll cycle with external providers, including variable input validation and payslip verification before distribution
• Maintain EOR payroll schedules across remote geographies and ensure timely, accurate processing
• Manage contractor operations end-to-end, from timesheet collection through Finance provisioning files and cycle reconciliation
• Administer employment documents for a distributed team across France, the US, and remote locations
• Oversee benefits administration including enrollments, changes, and employee inquiries
• Execute onboarding and offboarding logistics to ensure seamless transitions for new hires and departing employees
• Serve as first point of contact for employee People questions, managing requests through a ticketing system against defined SLAs
• Research and resolve individual employee cases involving policy interpretation, contracts, and local labour law
• Maintain HRIS data quality and support the workflows that underpin People operations
• Drive People Ops projects from scoping through delivery with clear timelines and stakeholder communication

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in payroll, HR administration, or People Operations (apprenticeships and internships count toward this requirement)
• Strong working knowledge of French payroll and labour law fundamentals, including contracts, absences, final pay calculations, and health/provident coverage
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills with comfort handling numerical data and reconciliations
• Demonstrated project management experience with scope definition, deadline management, and stakeholder coordination
• Hands-on experience with an HRIS platform
• Fluency in both French and English (English is the working language for this international team)

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience using ticketing tools for request management
• Exposure to international or EOR payroll operations
• Ability to build or implement automations to reduce manual work
• Background working in a scale-up environment

You'll thrive in this role if you take ownership without requiring constant direction, default to action rather than waiting for perfect conditions, and measure yourself by outcomes rather than effort. Our client operates at a fast pace and values impact, ambition, and urgency.
