Spanish Payroll Specialist

REF: Payroll Operations Specialist (Based in Spain; Scope: ES)

At Hightekers , we believe that meaningful work begins with trust, and trust begins with getting the fundamentals right, like payroll.

We're a people-first company with a bold mission: to make global employment simple, flexible, and fully compliant. From our hubs in Paris, Barcelona, and London, we support thousands of freelancers, contractors, and companies across Europe, the US, and the UAE. Whether they're building their dream careers or scaling across borders, our clients count on us to handle the complex stuff-employment, tax, visas, payroll-so they can focus on what matters most.

Now we're looking for a Payroll Operations Specialist to help continue delivering on that promise in Spain. This isn't an outsourced function. It's an in-house role with ownership, impact, and connection at its core.

In this role, you'll:

• Take full ownership of payroll execution for the Spanish market-from onboarding and payslips to declarations and compliance.
• Handle social security, taxes, and employment records using tools like A3 Innuva, Siltra, Sistema Red, and
• Respond to consultants' questions with empathy, clarity, and speed-because every payslip tells a personal story.
• Monitor legal updates in Spanish labour regulations and apply them proactively.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, HR, and Sales-ensuring aligned, seamless operations across the business.
• Build simulations and reports to support informed decision-making and strategic workforce planning.
• Drive improvements in processes and automation with a mindset of continuous learning and efficiency.

Who You Are

You're more than meticulous-you care deeply about accuracy and experience. You understand that trust in payroll is earned through precision and built on consistency.

You bring:

• 2-3 years of direct payroll processing experience in Spain
• A Diploma in Payroll (Diploma de Nóminas)-mandatory
• A degree in Labour Relations, HR, or Accounting
• Proficiency in A3 software and key platforms (Siltra, Sistema Red)
• Fluency in Spanish and high-level English
• An ability to communicate complex information with ease, empathy, and structure
• A proactive, analytical, and improvement-oriented mindset

Bonus if:

• You've worked in a fast-paced, multicultural environment
• You're curious about multi-country payroll execution and growth
• You've contributed to system or process enhancements

Why This Role Matters

Payroll isn't just technical-it's cultural. At Hightekers, we put people first. That means ensuring our consultants feel secure, informed, and supported through every phase of their journey with us. You'll be one of the key people making that happen, ensuring not only compliance but also care.

You'll also be part of something bigger: helping Hightekers evolve from a leading EOR partner in Europe to a truly global force. Your work will directly support consultant retention, business trust, and international scalability.

Our Values in Action

• People First: You'll respond to real people, not just process tickets. We value clarity, empathy, and the human side of precision.
• Flexibility: We work across borders and time zones. You'll navigate change, adapt easily, and always look for better ways to do things.
• Expertise Beyond Borders: Payroll is local, but you'll be part of a global vision. Your knowledge will shape how we serve diverse markets with excellence.
• Long-Term Partnership: We're not here for shortcuts. We build processes-and relationships-that last. You'll help us grow sustainably, one payslip at a time.
