About Pennylane

At Pennylane, we are reinventing how companies manage their finances — and that means striving for operational excellence and transforming our internal processes. Our People team is at the heart of this ambition: we build the systems, tools, and frameworks that allow Pennylane to scale with rigor, fairness, and data-driven clarity.

The role

We're looking for a confirmed or Senior People Operations Specialist to join a team that moves fast, thinks strategically, and genuinely cares about the employee experience.

You'll be part of a structured yet agile People Operations team, working alongside a Head of People Operations and a People Operations Manager (your direct manager), with 5 specialists each owning a dedicated scope. Your scope will cover Tech and Product on the French market.

In this role, your solid grounding in HR operations and your ability to build robust reporting frameworks and automate administrative processes will be essential levers to support Pennylane's continued growth.

What you'll own

People operations partnering & employee lifecycle

• Be the go-to HR contact for ~300 employees across Tech and Product based in France

• Own the full employee journey: onboarding, offboarding, contracts, amendments, certificates, absences, end to end and with a high standard of quality

• Build trusted relationships with employees and managers, and be genuinely responsive and helpful

Payroll & benefits

• Prepare and transmit payroll variables with precision and reliability

• Monitor employee benefits (health insurance, pension, meal vouchers) and ensure employees get the most out of them

Process improvement & automation

• Spot inefficiencies, build solutions, whether that's a smarter Notion page, a better workflow, or a fully automated process

• Lead or co-lead the digitalization of HR tools and contribute to a more scalable PeopleOps infrastructure

Strategic & cross-functional projects

• Get involved in projects that go beyond your daily scope: D&I initiatives, EVP, HR tool rollouts

• Bring structure, documentation, and operational rigor to everything you touch

Compliance & regulatory monitoring

• Stay on top of French labor law and ensure the company remains compliant

• Keep operational documentation sharp and up to date (onboarding booklet, Notion pages, charters, guides)

Why this role is different

• Real ownership: you're not executing someone else's plan, you define how PeopleOps works for your scope

• High-impact population: Tech and Product are at the heart of Pennylane's growth

• Room to grow: as the company scales, so does your scope and influence

• A team that values craft: we care about doing HR well, not just doing HR fast
  

⭐ Your profile

Experience & expertise: You bring solid experience as a People Ops Specialist gained within a fast-growing company or startup environment.

Autonomy & priority management: You are comfortable working independently, with a proven ability to juggle multiple priorities and stay effective in a fast-paced, ever-changing context.

Collaboration: You will partner closely on a daily basis with several HRBPs, working hand in hand to support your scope of responsibilities.

Growth mindset: Pennylane is a company in full scale-up mode: a lot has already been built, but even more lies ahead. You thrive in environments where things move fast and where embracing change is part of the job.

HRIS expertise: You're proficient in Workday and genuinely curious about how AI & automation can make People Ops smarter, you've already started putting that curiosity into practice !

Language skills: You are fully fluent in French and proficient in English.

We know that some people are less likely to apply than others, if they don’t feel like they meet the full list of criteria.

If you’re hesitating, we encourage you to apply: who knows, it might be the start of a meaningful and long-lasting collaboration.
