Role Summary
As a key member of our payroll operations team, this role will take full ownership of payroll delivery and compliance across several European countries—starting with Spain and scaling further. You’ll handle day-to-day payroll operations, vendor coordination, statutory compliance, internal support, and help build new payroll setups across entities.

-
Managing end-to-end payroll processing across the EMEA region, including monthly and semi-monthly cycles.

Coordinating closely with payroll vendors—reviewing processes, tracking performance, and handling reconciliations.
-
Ensuring statutory compliance in every country: taxes, social security, and mandatory documentation.
-
Acting as the main point of contact for internal teams (Finance, CSM, Sales) and handling employee/client queries.
-
Supporting entity and payroll setup, including system testing, calculator configuration, and implementation planning.
-

Identifying areas for automation and process improvement to scale payroll operations effectively.
Who you are

Deep knowledge of statutory regulations, tax systems, and labor compliance in Europe.
-
Experience working directly with payroll vendors, managing reconciliations, and improving process efficiency.
-
Familiar with implementing new payroll setups, transitions, or expansions into new countries/entities.

-
Skilled in preparing accurate, detailed reports for both internal stakeholders and external clients.
-
Ability to identify issues quickly, propose effective solutions, and take ownership of delivery.
-

Not a must but good to have:
-
Background in audit support, documentation control, or process automation.
-
