🚀 Senior HR / People Manager – International Tech Scale-up

📍 Paris | Permanent position

🌍 Strong international exposure required

📈 Potential path to CPO within 2 years

We are supporting a fast-growing French Tech scale-up in the recruitment of a Senior HR / People Manager to help structure and scale its People function through its next stage of growth.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role, working closely with founders and leadership across HR Business Partnering, People Operations, performance, compensation, organisational development and team management.

🌍 A genuinely international role

International experience is a key requirement for this position.

The company is rapidly expanding outside France and its organisation is becoming increasingly global. Over the coming years, international headcount is expected to become as significant as and potentially larger than the French organisation.

We are therefore looking for someone who has already operated in a multi-country environment, supporting international teams and managers and helping build People practices that can scale across different geographies and cultures.

What you'll do

• Act as a trusted HR Business Partner to managers and leadership
• Support managers on performance, development, promotions, compensation and employee relations
• Structure and improve People processes and policies
• Oversee People Operations: onboarding/offboarding, HR administration, payroll coordination, HRIS and compliance
• Develop performance management, career paths and compensation frameworks
• Manage and develop a small People / HR Ops team
• Support strategic and senior-level hiring
• Help scale and harmonise People practices across an increasingly international organisation
• Contribute to the transformation of the company from a French scale-up into a truly international organisation

What we're looking for

• 5–8+ years of HR / People experience
• Strong background in a Tech / SaaS scale-up or fast-growing entrepreneurial environment
• Solid experience across HRBP, People Ops, Performance Management and organisational development
• Proven international / multi-country HR experience
• Experience supporting international and distributed teams
• Strong knowledge of French employment law
• Experience in Compensation & Benefits, HRIS and People analytics
• Previous team management experience
• Fluent French and English

Experience in a company that has scaled from approximately 100 to 300+ employees, exposure to Series A/B/C environments, and experience with the UK and/or US would be particularly relevant.

Experience implementing or scaling an HRIS ideally Lucca would also be a plus.

The profile

We are looking for someone hands-on, structured and entrepreneurial — someone who enjoys building rather than simply managing what already exists.

You should be equally comfortable handling a complex employee situation, challenging a manager, improving a People process, analysing KPIs or discussing organisational priorities with the leadership team.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone with the potential and ambition to progressively take ownership of the People function, with a possible path towards a CPO role within approximately two years.

A great opportunity to join a high-growth Tech company at a pivotal stage of its international expansion and help build the People organisation for its next chapter.
