Our remote-first team spans across the world, helping companies hire, onboard, and manage talent internationally through smart, flexible workforce solutions.

We are looking for an HR Operations Specialist who is a problem-solver, compliance expert, and trusted HR advisor with a client-centric mindset.

• Deliver a high-quality employee and client experience by resolving HR queries, supporting key employment events, and providing practical, business-focused solutions.
• Drive operational excellence through continuous process improvement, standardisation, and optimisation of HR procedures across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Payroll, Finance, Product, and external partners to ensure seamless delivery of HR services and scalable solutions.
• Support reporting, audits, HR administration, knowledge management, and strategic projects that contribute to the success and growth of the business.

What It Takes to Make an Impact Here

• 2+ years of experience in HR Operations, Employee Lifecycle Management, HR Advisory, or a similar client-facing HR role.
• Strong working knowledge of France employment law and HR practices, with the ability to confidently advise and lead on employee lifecycle matters, compliance requirements, and employment-related risks.
• Ability to balance customer needs, compliance requirements, and business objectives in a fast-paced international environment.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Fluent in English and French (written and spoken).
