About the role

Senior People Operations Manager responsible for end-to-end People Operations, automation, data integrity, payroll coordination, and HRIS management to support a fast-growing, international workforce.

Responsibilities

  • Take full, end-to-end ownership of core People Operations topics — including onboarding, offboarding, contracts, leaves, absence, payroll, immigration cases and documentation — from decision-making through execution.
  • Design, build, and roll out automated, AI-supported workflows and integrations across our tools — including Personio (HRIS) and Notion — to eliminate manual work and connect our systems.
  • Coordinate monthly payroll across Germany, the UK and the Netherlands and in the near future, Luxembourg, with external providers. Own data accuracy, deadlines and provider relationships.
  • Maintain the compliance calendar and the documentation behind it, working with external counsel where local employment law is involved.
  • Manage and support our full workforce across multiple contract types and locations, ensuring correct setup, documentation, and ongoing administration for each.
  • Be the first line for employee questions on policy, contracts, leave and benefits — and steadily reduce that volume by making the answers self-serve in our handbook.
  • Own the documentation and record-keeping behind employee relations cases: case files, timelines, correspondence.
  • Proactively identify gaps and inefficiencies in our People Operations processes, and independently drive improvement projects from idea through implementation.
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date HRIS data as a reliable single source of truth, and support strategic reporting and people analytics to inform business decisions.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in People Operations or HR administration, ideally in a fast-paced, international or scaling startup environment
  • Proven end-to-end ownership of operational topics across the employee journey
  • A strong track record in automation, including designing and implementing workflow integrations or AI-supported solutions in an HR or operations context
  • Strong data literacy: ability to build reliable reports, spot inconsistencies and investigate until numbers are trustworthy
  • Experience supporting a varied, international workforce across different contract types, legal entities, locations and working models
  • Knowledge of German employment law and compliance requirements; UK or Luxembourgish employment law is a plus
  • Payroll coordination experience with external providers in at least one European country, owning accurate inputs, deadlines and provider relationships
  • Hands-on ownership of an HRIS — Personio ideally, or a comparable system you have configured and maintained — plus confidence connecting tools such as Notion to build efficient workflows
  • Excellent judgment and communication skills, with the ability to act as a trusted advisor to employees, managers and senior stakeholders
  • Fluency in English; German is a plus
