We are looking for Junior Payroll Admin. We are two companies under the same roof - Essensium (product company) and Mind (embedded Linux consultancy). We are solid and healthy companies with brilliant people, flat no-nonsense culture, with an international and scale-up type of environment (57 employees in total) where you can learn a lot.

You will be working closely together with the Finance Director and CEO helping with payroll and administrative processes for both companies. This role offers a broad and interesting mix of functions and will allow you to grow in responsibilities very fast.

• Location: you live close to Leuven, at commutable distance to our office in Heverlee
• Office/remote: we expect you to work from the office 3-4 days per week, 1-2 days from home.
• Languages: English and Dutch is a must, French is nice to have. Though English is the main communication language for both companies, payroll related documentation is both in Dutch and English. Therefore English and Dutch is a hard must at a good written level. French is nice to have and enough on a conversational level - to communicate with some customers.
• Background: We are looking for a recent graduate with relevant studies and/or with internships in payroll or someone with 1-2 years of experience in payroll

Who you are:

• Ideally you have already some experience with payroll. The rest we will teach you :)

What you will do:

> Payroll

• Maintaining payroll operations by following policies and procedures
• Work in close cooperation with our payroll partner
• Being a contact person for colleagues when they have payroll questions

> Other admin tasks:

• Coordinate with our insurance agencies

We do we offer:

A permanent contract, laptop, extra legal holidays, great healthcare package hospitalization included, super nice international team, fun team-buildings, board game nights and other off-work activities, and many opportunities to learn and grow with us.

Even if you think that your experience and knowledge don't match this role perfectly, but the role itself seems interesting - please apply, and we'll see if there's any common ground!
