• Deliver expert advice on payroll and compensation matters, building trusted relationships with clients.
• Own client management from scoping through delivery, ensuring exceptional results and client satisfaction.

• Contribute to team excellence by mentoring junior consultants and sharing best practices.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying innovative approaches to payroll service delivery.

• 2-5 years of professional experience within practice or an in-house team providing compensation/payroll services to multinational clients and/or expatriates.
• A detail-oriented professional with strong payroll expertise and a proven track record of delivering high-quality client work.
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and committed to the professional development of you and your team.
• Clear communication skills with clients and colleagues alike, taking pride in delivering exceptional service.
• A qualification in fiduciary services or a degree in Business Administration, Economics, or a related discipline, complemented by further training in HR, payroll, or tax.
• Knowledge of various payroll accounting systems such as Abacus and SAP (others are an advantage) as well as a high affinity for Artificial Intelligence and technology.
• Excellent technical and analytical skills, being a reliable team player.
• Proficiency in English and fluency in either French or German; additional language skills are considered a significant advantage.
