Guarantee day-to-day HR operational excellence Own the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, with a high standard of quality and fluidity at every step: direct execution on the France scope, supervision and quality control on the UK and US scopes (in coordination with the HRBP). Secure payroll in partnership with our external providers: hands-on ownership of French payroll (data accuracy, deadline compliance, consistency checks, fast resolution of discrepancies) and supervision of UK and US payroll to ensure the same level of rigor across the entire scope.
