People Partner - FR

Why we're hiring

We're a SaaS scale-up of 50–100 people, growing fast across Europe and the US. Our People team is small by design, we believe in high impact over headcount. As we scale, we need someone who can own everything people-related on the ground in Europe: hiring, day-to-day HR, office life, and making sure every person who joins has a great experience from day one.

This is not a support role. You'll be the go-to person for the entire European team and work hand-in-hand with the Head of People to build something we're proud of.


What you'll own 🚀

Recruitment

  • Run hiring end-to-end for European roles: sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, managing offers

  • Build and maintain a strong talent pool so we're never starting from zero

  • Participate in optimising our hiring machine by leveraging AI tools to move faster and smarter

  • Make candidates want to join and understand why this team is worth it

Onboarding

  • Handle all admin before day one (contracts, tools, paperwork, equipment)

  • Coordinate the first week experience: welcome pack, breakfast, intro sessions

  • Make sure every new joiner feels set up to do great work fast

HR ops & employee support

  • Own payroll end-to-end

  • Be the first point of contact for employee questions — answered within 24h

  • Handle employment contracts, leave, and day-to-day HR admin

  • Flag issues early and help solve them before they become problems

Office management - Paris

  • Keep the office running smoothly: supplies, deliveries, maintenance, daily clean

  • Coordinate with the building manager for facilities and any technical issues

  • Create an environment people actually want to come to

Events & culture

  • Coordinate team gatherings, offsites, and cohesion initiatives (random coffee, team lunches, etc.)

  • Support the Head of People in making culture moments happen


Who we're looking for 💎

Experience

  • 3–5 years in a People / HR generalist or Talent role, ideally in a SaaS startup or scale-up environment

  • Comfortable owning both recruiting and HR ops, you don't wait to be told what needs doing

  • Familiar with French employment law and payroll basics

What makes you the right person

  • You have a startup mindset: you move fast, figure things out, and don't need a perfect process to get started

  • You're organised : you’re excellent at managing multiple things and keeping them all moving forward.

  • You're a people person in the real sense: people trust you quickly, and you take that seriously

  • You care about candidate and employee experience, the details matter to you

  • You're solutions-oriented: when something's broken, you fix it and then make sure it doesn't break again

  • You're AI-Driven, you leverage AI tools to optimize your workflow, from building custom agents for interview prep to automated candidate scoring.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Teamtailor (ATS) and HiBob (HRIS)

  • Previous exposure to an international or US-based team, great if you've worked across cultures


What success looks like 🔥

At 1 month

  • You know everyone on the European team by name and role

  • You've taken over HR admin and payroll without any dropped balls

  • You have a clear picture of open roles and where each process stands

  • The office runs smoothly and you've already fixed at least one thing that was annoying people

At 3 months

  • You've closed at least 1 role end-to-end

  • Onboarding is structured, consistent, and gets good feedback from new joiners

  • Employees come to you first when they have a question or a problem

  • You've run or co-organised at least one team event

At 6 months

  • Hiring is running well : time to hire is under 50 days on average

  • Payroll is clean, on time, every month

  • You've spotted at least one process gap and fixed it without being asked

  • The Head of People trusts you to handle Europe autonomously

At 12 months

  • You're the reason the European team feels well taken care of

  • New hires consistently rate their onboarding experience above 4.5/5

  • You've contributed to building a hiring pipeline that reflects our high-performance culture

  • You're seen as a culture carrier, people feel the difference you make


What we offer

  • A seat at the table, you'll work directly with the Head of People and have real ownership from day one

  • A small, high-trust team where what you do is visible and matters

  • A fast-moving environment where you'll learn more in 12 months than in 3 years elsewhere

  • Competitive salary benchmarked to market

  • Hybrid setup : 3 days in the Paris office, 2 days remote per week + 5 fully remote weeks per year

  • A Paris office people actually enjoy coming to

  • Regular team events
