As a Senior Compensation & Benefits Partner at Qonto, you will play a key role in making our compensation decisions fair, competitive and scalable.

Your mission will be twofold: act as a trusted partner on sensitive compensation decisions and build the frameworks that will support Qonto’s long-term growth.

You will work closely with Jean-Raphaël Demol, your future manager.

As a Senior Compensation & Benefits Manager at Qonto, you will

• Partner with the business by advising Talent Acquisition, People Partners and managers with benchmarks and guidance on hiring offers, promotions, retention cases and off-cycle reviews.
• Turn complex compensation and Benefits questions into clear recommendations, combining business context, internal equity, market data and long-term consistency.
• Own key compensation processes & cycles: policy updates, salary review cycles and compliance monitoring and contribute to projects end-to-end.
• Build scalable frameworks across global grading, leveling, salary ranges and pay transparency.
• Strengthen compensation governance by improving decision rules, data quality and self-service resources in collaboration with People, Finance, Legal and HRIS teams.

What you can expect

• Have a direct impact on hiring, retention, internal equity and the employee experience.
• Combine business partnering with the opportunity to build frameworks that will scale across Qonto.
• Work closely with Jean-Raphaël Demol, with growing exposure to more strategic topics as you build track record.
• Take ownership of complex, highly visible topics rather than operating as a data provider or process administrator.
• Operate within an experienced, international and AI-first environment where strong judgment matters as much as technical expertise.

About You

• Experience: You have a solid experience in Compensation & Benefits and have personally owned several end-to-end compensation review cycles. You managed benefits renewal for European countries.
• Compensation expertise: You are confident working across salary ranges, leveling, off-cycle reviews, promotions, retention and pay-transparency topics.
• Business Partner: You identify the real business problem, use market data with judgment and provide clear recommendations rather than simply sharing benchmarks.
• Stakeholder management: You can challenge senior stakeholders constructively, explain trade-offs and build alignment.
• Ownership: You take initiative and drive complex topics on your own, from identifying the problem to implementing solutions, in a fast‑moving environment.

It would be a plus if you have:

• Worked in tech, fintech or another fast-scaling international environment.
• Contributed to multi-country compensation projects.
• Experience with Comptryx, Radford, Figures, Pave or another modern compensation platform.
