- Internal Coordination: Collaborate closely with internal specialist teams (Finance, Global Payroll, Compliance, and Account Management) to drive client requests across the finish line.
- Request & Task Tracking: Keep internal task boards and CRM tools updated, ensuring open operational tickets are monitored, followed up on, and closed reliably.
- Documentation & Data Quality: Ensure client files, contractor records, and process logs are kept 100% accurate across our systems.
- Process Improvement: Identify recurring client inquiries and contribute ideas to refine internal workflows, optimize team processes, and improve overall response efficiency.
Your Profile:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Business Management, Economics, International Business, Communication, or a related field at a university in Germany.
- Excellent written communication skills, with a focus on clear and professional email etiquette.
- Detail-oriented and comfortable managing operational workflows, digital tools, and data.
- Highly organized with strong time management skills to handle high email volume.
- Proactive, reliable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, international environment.
- Previous experience in client support, administration, operations, or SaaS is a plus, but not required.
- Fluent in English; German is a plus.
Nice to have:
- If you’ve worked in a Payroll provider or in the Payroll industry, this would be great.
- Basic familiarity or interest in Business Development, Fintech, Accounting, or legal/compliance operations.
What We Offer
- A flexible work environment that values work-life balance.
- Fitness membership with ClassPass.
- 21 days of vacation per year.
