Job Description

Payroll & Rewards Specialist

Belgium, Kortrijk

Our mission 🚀

In 2016, our founders wanted to feed their dogs - named Edgard and Cooper - pet food they could feel good about. The kind of food that was as good for the planet as it was for their pets. But when they couldn't find this, they decided to make their own. Now, 10 years later, our pack has over 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.

What type of breed are we looking for? 🐕

We're looking for a Pay & Rewards Specialist to help keep our people paid correctly, our benefits running smoothly, and our payroll operations across Europe in great shape.

You'll be the operational expert behind the scenes, making sure everything runs accurately, compliantly, and on time.

You love bringing order to complexity. Data, systems, processes… they’re your kind of playground. And nothing beats that feeling of knowing everything is correct, aligned, and running as it should be (bonus points if you spot a payroll discrepancy from a mile away 👀).

You know Belgian payroll inside out, but you're just as excited about supporting a fast-growing company across multiple European markets.

What is in your bowl? 🍵

A big scoop of ownership, numbers and flawless execution. You’ll get to:

• Coordinate payroll across multiple European countries
• Manage compensation and benefits administration
• Ensure pay & rewards processes are accurate, compliant and delivered on time
• Support processes such as reporting, audits and continuous improvement initiatives
• Partner closely with the Pay & Rewards Manager, HR Business Partners, finance and external payroll providers
• Help improve and optimise payroll and rewards processes as we grow

What skills & tricks should you bring? 🤹

• 3+ years of experience in Payroll, Compensation & Benefits, or HR Operations
• Strong knowledge of Belgian payroll and employment administration. Experience in our other European markets is a plus (France, Spain, Italy, UK, Germany, Netherlands).
• Experience with HRIS, payroll systems, and employee data
• A sharp eye for detail and a love for getting things right
• Collaborative, organised, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Highly trustworthy, discreet and comfortable handling confidential employee information.

Not sure if you tick all the boxes but our role truly excites you? Don’t let our job description hold you back, get applying!
