  • monitoring legislative and sectoral changes and translating them into concrete actions
  • optimizing payroll and time tracking systems, coordinating the testing of new functionalities
  • initiating improvements to enhance efficiency within the team
  • creating and maintaining essential documentation
  • preparing and supporting internal and external payroll audits
  • building and sharing knowledge on international employment topics
  • acting as a point of contact for external partners such as the social security office and payroll agencies

  • SAP HR expertise and an interest in tools and digitalization
  • proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.)
