- Keep employee master data in Personio & Deel accurate, compliant and audit-ready.
- Manage core lifecycle processes (onboarding, leave, offboarding), including work time accounts, eAUadministration and work certificates.
- Act as a main contact for payroll providers, tax advisors and auditors, and resolve issues quickly and professionally.
- Spot friction in processes, systems and workflows, then fix it, using automation and exploring AI where they add real value.
- Support the alignment of employee benefits across countries while respecting local requirements.
- Partner closely with People Partners and Finance so payroll, reporting and People processes join up.
- Answer employee questions on pay and HR admin with clarity and discretion.
- Guide or mentor junior team members, own larger process and system projects, and act as a sparring partner to People leadership.
