capimoney - People Operations Lead - Europe
Requirements
• Coordinate team gatherings, market visits, and offsites that connect our distributed team. • Champion an outstanding employee experience from Day 0 onwards. • 6+ years in People Operations or HR, with meaningful time spent in a scaleup or startup environment. • Strong working knowledge of French employment law — you are comfortable operating without a lawyer in the room for day-to-day questions. • Proven ability to own People Ops processes end-to-end with limited oversight. • Comfortable building structure in ambiguous environments — you create the playbook, not wait for one. • Excellent communication skills; direct, clear, and appropriately warm with employees at all levels. • Fluent in French and English (written and spoken). • Based in Paris, with the ability to work from the office regularly. • Experience supporting People Ops across African markets. • Hands-on experience managing EOR partners and multi-jurisdiction compliance. • Familiarity with our HRIS tools (e.g. Deel, Ashby) and Google Workspace. • Experience designing or owning compensation or levelling frameworks. • Arabic, Wolof, or other relevant language skills. • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AFTER 6 MONTHS • French employment compliance is watertight and you are the go-to expert and the team trusts your judgement. • New hires report a consistently smooth, well-organised onboarding experience. • At least 2 People Ops processes have been materially improved - documented, owned, and running better than when you arrived. • Managers rely on you as a proactive partner, not a reactive resource. • You have built strong working relationships with internal stakeholders across Finance and Legal.
Responsibilities
• French Employment Law & Compliance Ownership • Serve as Capi's internal subject matter expert on French employment law: contracts, works council obligations, terminations, leave entitlements, and statutory requirements. • Own compliance documentation and ensure employment practices in France are current, accurate, and audit-ready. • Partner with Legal to navigate complex or novel employment situations across our markets. • Keep ahead of regulatory changes and translate them into practical process updates. • People Operations • Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle for direct employees and assigned EOR markets — onboarding, offboarding, contracts, payroll inputs, and benefits coordination. • Build and maintain SOPs, templates, and playbooks that enable consistent, compliant People Ops delivery at scale. • Manage EOR partner relationships across markets, identifying issues early and holding vendors to a high standard. • Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees on all People matters — clear, empathetic, and solutions-oriented. • Process Design & Improvement • Identify operational gaps and own the improvement — don't just flag problems, build the fix. • Lead or contribute to cross-functional People Ops projects (e.g. HRIS improvements, onboarding revamps, policy rollouts). • Maintain high-quality People data and documentation across systems.
Benefits
• Own a meaningful function. • Work closely with a small, mission-driven team solving real financial access challenges across emerging markets. • High growth trajectory: as the company scales, so does the scope of this role — toward broader ownership of People Ops strategy and leadership across our markets. • A genuinely multicultural environment where your French language skills and cross-market instincts are an asset every day. • Competitive compensation, health benefits, and equity participation.
