At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care.
We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you!
Tandem Health is a scaling health-tech company with teams and legal entities across Europe. As we grow, we need our payroll and people operations to be accurate, compliant and built for scale.
We’re looking for a Payroll & People Specialist to own payroll end-to-end across our European markets and keep the operational backbone of our People function running smoothly.
Payroll will be the core of this role. You’ll make sure every payroll cycle is accurate, timely, compliant and well-managed across multiple entities, working closely with Finance, People and local providers. Beyond payroll, there is real room to build: improving processes, owning more of the employee lifecycle, and helping shape what great People Operations looks like at Tandem.

Review, reconcile and quality-check payroll inputs and outputs, catching discrepancies before they become problems
Ensure compliance with local tax, pension, benefits and statutory requirements across our markets
Lead year-end payroll processes, payroll reporting, statutory filings, pension administration and any payroll audits
Partner closely with Finance and People to ensure payroll data, approvals, reporting and reconciliations are accurate and reliable
Build and improve payroll processes, moving away from manual workarounds towards structured, scalable ways of working
Own key operational parts of the employee lifecycle, including onboarding queries, contracts, amendments, employment changes, and offboarding
Run and maintain our Employer of Record platform across relevant markets
Manage onboarding and offboarding across payroll, benefits and systems in every market
Be a clear, reliable, and service-minded point of contact for employee questions around pay, benefits, leave and people processes
Keep employee data, records, and systems accurate, compliant and audit-ready
Manage relationships with external providers, including payroll bureaux, benefits providers, pension administrators and EOR partners
2-3 years of payroll experience, ideally across multiple countries
Experience running payroll in at least one market outside the Nordics, such as the UK, Germany, or France
Strong understanding of payroll processes, statutory requirements, reporting and reconciliations
Confidence working with payroll systems, HR systems and EOR platforms
A detail-obsessed approach, you reconcile, double-check and do not let things slip
The ability to work confidently across Finance, People and external providers
A high level of ownership and independence in a fast-moving environment
Clear communication and a service-minded approach to supporting employees
Are comfortable being the go-to person for complex payroll questions and take pride in getting things right
Enjoy creating order, improving processes and building scalable ways of working
Are curious about systems, tools, and automation and always looking for ways to reduce manual work
Care about the employee experience, not just the process behind it
Like working in a high-growth environment where things move quickly and there is space to shape how we do things
Experience with payroll across several European markets
Experience working in a scaling company with multiple entities
Experience improving or implementing payroll, HRIS or EOR processes
