Join us as a Senior Compensation & Benefits Partner to make Qonto's compensation decisions fair, competitive, and built to scale. You'll be the trusted voice on sensitive comp calls and the architect of the frameworks that support Qonto's long-term growth, working closely with Jean-Raphaël Demol, Comp & Ben Director, your future manager.
➡️ What you'll do Advise on high-stakes comp calls: Partner with Talent Acquisition, People Partners and managers on benchmarks and guidance for hiring offers, promotions, retention cases and off-cycle reviews. Turn data into decisions: Combine market data, internal equity and business context into clear, defensible recommendations. Own the cycles that matter: Run salary review cycles, policy updates and compliance monitoring end-to-end. Build frameworks that scale: Design global grading, leveling, salary ranges and pay transparency for Qonto's next phase of growth. Strengthen governance: Sharpen decision rules, data quality and self-service resources with People, Finance, Legal and HRIS.

Business judgment over benchmarks: You diagnose the real problem before reaching for market data, and you recommend rather than just report. Stakeholder backbone: You challenge senior stakeholders constructively and build alignment, even when the answer is no. AI-fluent: You use AI tools to move faster on data analysis and modeling, not just to keep up.
➡️ What we can offer you Scope, not just data: You'll own complex, highly visible topics, not run benchmarks for someone else's decisions. Direct impact: You
