ABOUT THE ROLE

Tandem Health is a scaling health-tech company with teams and legal entities across Europe. As we grow, we need our payroll and people operations to be accurate, compliant and built for scale.

We’re looking for a Payroll & People Operations Specialist to own payroll end-to-end across our European markets and keep the operational backbone of our People function running smoothly.

Payroll will be the core of this role. You’ll make sure every payroll cycle is accurate, timely, compliant and well-managed across multiple entities, working closely with Finance, People and local providers. Beyond payroll, there is real room to build: improving processes, owning more of the employee lifecycle, and helping shape what great People Operations looks like at Tandem.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves getting the details right, enjoys creating structure and takes pride in providing a reliable, thoughtful employee experience.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

PAYROLL - YOUR CORE FOCUS

• Own end-to-end payroll across multiple European entities, including Sweden, coordinating with local payroll providers to ensure every payroll cycle runs smoothly and on time
• Review, reconcile and quality-check payroll inputs and outputs, catching discrepancies before they become problems
• Ensure compliance with local tax, pension, benefits and statutory requirements across our markets
• Lead year-end payroll processes, payroll reporting, statutory filings, pension administration and any payroll audits
• Partner closely with Finance and People to ensure payroll data, approvals, reporting and reconciliations are accurate and reliable
• Build and improve payroll processes, moving away from manual workarounds towards structured, scalable ways of working

PEOPLE OPERATIONS

• Own key operational parts of the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, contracts, amendments, employment changes, and offboarding
• Run and maintain our Employer of Record platform across relevant markets
• Manage onboarding and offboarding across payroll, benefits and systems in every market
• Be a clear, reliable, and service-minded point of contact for employee questions around pay, benefits, leave and people processes
• Keep employee data, records, and systems accurate, compliant and audit-ready
• Manage relationships with external providers, including payroll bureaux, benefits providers, pension administrators and EOR partners

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2-3 years of payroll experience, ideally across multiple countries
• Experience running payroll in at least one market outside the Nordics, such as the UK, Germany, or France
• Strong understanding of payroll processes, statutory requirements, reporting and reconciliations
• Confidence working with payroll systems, HR systems and EOR platforms
• A detail-obsessed approach, you reconcile, double-check and do not let things slip
• The ability to work confidently across Finance, People and external providers
• A high level of ownership and independence in a fast-moving environment
• Clear communication and a service-minded approach to supporting employees

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

• Are comfortable being the go-to person for complex payroll questions and take pride in getting things right
• Enjoy creating order, improving processes and building scalable ways of working
• Are curious about systems, tools, and automation and always looking for ways to reduce manual work
• Care about the employee experience, not just the process behind it
• Like working in a high-growth environment where things move quickly and there is space to shape how we do things

BONUS POINTS

• Experience with payroll across several European markets
• Experience working in a scaling company with multiple entities
• Experience improving or implementing payroll, HRIS or EOR processes
• Familiarity with Swedish payroll and pension administration
