Are you a People Operations Manager ready to secure flawless payroll, elevate the employee experience, and structure scalable processes in a transformation context (Optimum integration, France/Group harmonization)?

In this role, you will take ownership of the payroll/HR administration cycle (Syntec, ADP, DSN), automate controls and steer by data (KPIs, reporting), while collaborating daily with Finance, Workplace, and the Berlin People team. You will combine strategic vision with operational excellence - improving eNPS, reducing payroll errors, and strengthening social compliance at the heart of a fast-scaling organization.

• Payroll Management and Production
• Ensure data reliability, maintain the payroll/DSN calendar, prepare and control variables, and coordinate with ADP/provider.
• Implement/automate controls (N vs N-1 variances, ceilings, IJSS, overtime, bonuses, final pay) and handle social filings (URSSAF, DOETH, CET, etc.).
• Be the payroll point of contact for employees (explain payslips, corrections, clear communication).
• Optimization, Data, and Reporting
• Document and standardize processes (SOPs, RACI, SLAs) and drive continuous improvement.
• Own HR KPIs (absenteeism, turnover, processing times, payroll error rate) and produce actionable dashboards.
• Administer/optimize HRIS & payroll tools (ADP, Silae, Lucca) and interfaces.
• Cross-Functional Projects & Compliance
• Contribute to CSE, BDESE, social audits, practice harmonization, and integrations (M&A).
• Update policies (remote work, working hours) and internal regulations.
• Collaborate with Finance and Workplace; daily interaction with the Berlin People team.

Your Profile

• Fluent French and professional English (constant interactions with Berlin).
• Master’s degree (HR/Payroll/Management) and 2–5 years of experience in HR admin & payroll in a dynamic environment.
• Mastery of payroll in a Syntec/ADP environment, DSN/URSSAF, and social obligations.
• Strong knowledge of French labor law and GDPR best practices.
• Ability to write clear processes and automate controls (rules, thresholds, reconciliations).
• Proficiency with HRIS/payroll tools and data.
• Employee experience orientation, pedagogical communication, service mindset.
• Rigor, confidentiality, attention to detail, prioritization and responsiveness; high autonomy and ownership.
