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.
➡️ What we're looking for
•
End-to-end ownership
You've personally run several full compensation review cycles, not just supported them.
•
Multi-country reach
You've managed benefits renewal across European countries.
•
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
Your calls shape hiring, retention and internal equity across the company.
•
Room to grow
More strategic exposure as you build track record.
•
Judgment-first culture
An experienced, international, AI-first team where how you think matters as much as what you know.
➡️ Your future manager
You'll report to
Jean-Raphaël Demol
, who has spent over 20 years building his Compensation & Benefits expertise, with roles at Roche Pharmaceuticals, Amazon and Criteo, where he spent 6 years as Director of Compensation and Benefits - overseeing benefits across 19 countries, equity strategy and international mobility.
