About the role
Payroll expert with a passion for modern HR? Ready to combine precision, ownership, and HR innovation? We're looking for an HR Payroll Expert / HR Generalist to strengthen our HR team in Kruibeke. In this role, you will co-own (mostly international) payroll operations while also helping shape HR projects, digitalization, and smarter ways of working all along the employee experience. If you enjoy taking responsibility, improving processes, and thinking beyond payroll, this role might be exactly what you're looking for. You'll join an HR team that believes HR should support the business, make work better for people and aim for frictionless processes.
Expect real ownership, the chance to truly speak your mind and the opportunity to join an ambitious, future forward-thinking team. You'll work in an environment full of engineers, specialists, and problem solvers - aka people who value accuracy, doing things right, and building things that last. We'd love to hear how you can help us build the next chapter of space together.
The responsibilities
Payroll & HR administration:
You'll join a team of 6 HR/Comms colleagues working together across different HR domains. The team supports around 200 employees and consultants in Belgium, while also collaborating within a larger international group structure and supporting other European entities.
Why join us
What makes this role unique is the combination of local impact and international exposure. You'll work in a Belgian team while being part of a growing international organization, where HR plays a central role in supporting expansion across Europe — including setting up and coordinating new payroll structures in different countries. And perhaps most importantly: you'll work in a company where people take pride in the fact that the technology they build actually ends up in space.
Interested, but not sure you meet every single requirement? Research shows that men will apply to jobs when they meet only 60% of the requirements, but women and other minority groups may only apply if they're sure they meet 100%. If you were turning away because you don't meet 100%, well, we'd still like to hear from you - tell us how you're the best fit for the requirements you're sure you meet.
