Why Paynovate?
Paynovate is a Belgium based fintech with more than 80 talented employees. We’re building a company where dreams are shaped, where bold initiatives are taken, where your leadership, ownership and ability to follow-through are valued. As a growing e-money institution, we are bringing payment solutions to the next level – and you could be a part of that.
Context
Paynovate is scaling, and with that growth comes the need for impact-driven HR partners — people who understand the full employee lifecycle but can also act as true business enablers.
We're looking for a People Partner to join our growing team and partner with our Head of People and leadership teams across all departments (Finance, Legal, Compliance, Sales, Engineering, Product and Operations).
This role is intentionally broad: you’ll be exposed to all HR activities, but we are specifically looking for someone who brings strong foundations in Compensation & Benefits, Payroll, Belgian labor law, and People Analytics.
You are not just an HR enthusiast : you’re data-driven, process-minded, and comfortable bringing structure, analytics and pragmatic solutions to the table.
You know how HR supports business growth and you're ready to play your part.
What You’ll Do
- Act as a SPOC across the full employee lifecycle: from onboarding to offboarding.
- Lead or support hard HR processes :
- Compensation & Benefits review & benchmarking
- Salary bands maintenance
- Payroll coordination
- Compliance & audit support (internal and external)
- Partner with the Head of People on Compensation Reviews, Knowledge Management and HRIS / LMS implementation.
- Bring a data-driven approach: analyze turnover, absenteeism and other key People Analytics indicators.
- Contribute to building and improving HR processes, documentation, and automation when relevant.
- Serve as a trusted partner for managers and employees, providing pragmatic, business-focused HR advice.
The Right Fit
This role is ideal for someone who:
- 5-7 years of experience in HR with exposure to Comp & Ben, Payroll and Belgian HR compliance, specifically CP200 (or similar)
- Strong data mindset: you’re comfortable with numbers, dashboards, and turning HR data into actionable insights.
- Natural business acumen: you understand that HR exists to support business goals.
- Fluent in English & French, Dutch is a plus
- Experience across different environments is welcome: SME, scale-up or corporate.
- Someone proactive, open-minded, curious and able to challenge the status quo when needed.
- Hands-on, practical and ready to grow with us.
What we offer:
- An amazing job in a stimulating, profitable and fast-growing sector. Payment solutions is a complex and constantly evolving field, where innovation is key.
- A role where your impact will be tangible. We are a company of owners and believe in empowering people to their full potential.
- A team of talented, motivated and thoughtful individuals, coming together as one to fulfil a common goal – delivering smart, simple and innovative solutions to our clients.
- A dynamic environment full of growth and development opportunities, where your career could take its next major turn. People are our greatest strength, and as an employer, we choose to deliver to you as much you deliver to us.
- A modern and friendly working environment, where work-life balance is enforced as a structural part of the organization (hello hybrid work!).
- And of course, a comprehensive and market-competitive salary package: 32 days holiday, mobility budget, meal vouchers, health and group insurance, phone, homeworking policy and allowance.
