Senior Compensation and Benefits Manager

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. He then led Total Rewards at Onfido and Dataiku, before joining Pigment in September 2024 as Total Rewards & People Operations, before joining Qonto early 2026.
