Join us as our new HR Operations Specialist and help us achieve our goals! 🚀

As a HR Operations Specialist at Yokoy, you will be at the heart of our HR team, managing and optimizing processes that support our employees’ journey.

• Compliance: Ensure compliance with employment laws and regulations across the countries we operate in.
• Payroll Coordination: Collaborate with external payroll providers and internal stakeholders to ensure accurate and timely payroll processing.
• Employee Support: Serve as the first point of contact for HR-related queries, providing exceptional support and guidance to employees and managers.

• At least 5 years of HR operations experience, ideally in a global, fast-paced scale-up or multinational environment.
• Strong understanding of European employment laws and HR best practices.
• Proficiency with HRIS tools and a passion for leveraging technology to improve processes.
• High attention to detail with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate challenges and propose solutions.
• Experience working across diverse cultures and teams.
• Discretion and judgment in handling confidential and sensitive data.
• Fluent in German and English (additional European languages are a plus).

• Resources and trust: you own your work and shape things from day one.
• Flat hierarchies: opportunity to work closely with the founders and the leadership team.
• Fast-paced environment: quickly measure and learn about the impact of your work.
• Flexibility: everyone has their own highly productive times - we look at the output and not at what time it was produced.
• Hybrid setup: we enjoy in-person sessions, but we have also learned (thank you Covid) how to be efficient with remote working.
• Competitive scale-up package with the possibility to partake in the upside.
• Work anywhere: we offer up to 6 weeks remote work within the EU.
