HR Project Manager – Remote-First

Sobre el puesto

🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays
In today’s digital Europe, payments still feel too complicated. Random delays, confusing rules, extra apps and accounts make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.
The European Payments Initiative is changing that with Wero, a proudly European digital wallet to make payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with your money and data protected under European laws and regulations.
Wero is live in Belgium, France and Germany and launching very soon in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Backed by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we’re building a brand new, proudly European payment system. Why not join us?
🔎 What's in it for you
We operate in a highly regulated industry, which means rigor and structure matter. But that doesn’t mean everything is set in stone. There is still plenty of room to experiment, challenge the way we work and introduce better tools and practices. Our HR team is curious and enthusiastic about opening new topics and trying new approaches.
You’ll work transversally with every part of People and directly with our Chief People Officer, giving you broad exposure to the function and a real opportunity to shape how we work as we continue to grow and mature.
🐝 About the team
You’ll report directly to the Chief People Officer, who oversees HR Operations, Compensation & Benefits, HR Business Partnering and Talent Acquisition. You’ll join a team of 16 international HR experts spread across Europe, each bringing their own expertise and perspective.
We’re still flying the plane while building parts of it, so expect the occasional bumpy ride. The good news? The crew is cheerful, supportive and always ready to help, so you’ll be in safe hands.
