Country People Partner

Information about the position

As Country People Partner, you will provide on-the-ground People/HR and operational support to Vinted Go’s rapidly growing hubs in France. You’ll act as a key local People contact for our warehouse teams, helping bridge the gap between day-to-day operational realities and central People processes.

You will be part of the Country People Partner team and report to the Country People Partner Lead. You’ll work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Transportation, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Workplace Experience, and the wider People team to support workforce administration, time and attendance accuracy, employee relations, and compliance.

This role is highly operational and site-based. It requires strong knowledge of French HR administration, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to build trust with frontline employees and managers in a fast-paced, shift-based warehouse environment.

In this position, you’ll

• Monitor time and attendance for permanent and temporary workers, in close collaboration with Ops, Maintenance, and Transportation managers.
• Track and resolve clocking discrepancies in ChronoOps, identify anomalies, and escalate clarified cases to the CPP team to support accurate payroll.
• Ensure working time compliance, including schedules, shift changes, worked bank holidays, overtime, night shifts, and Sunday work.
• Support payroll and HR administration, including manual variable pay calculations, onboarding, offboarding, mutual agreements, and work accident follow-up.
• Manage temporary workforce administration in collaboration with TA, including contract checks, legal motives, signatures, rates, invoice reconciliation, absenteeism tracking, and maximum contract duration monitoring.
• Provide frontline People support to warehouse employees, including workers who may face language or digital access barriers.
• Lead weekly People meetings to review headcount, absenteeism, sickness, accidents, behaviours, and key shift-related topics.
• Support disciplinary and policy processes by collecting relevant information and evidence in collaboration with the CPP team.
• Act as a People point of contact on the floor, helping ensure company policies, processes, and best practices are understood and followed.
• Support new hires as a buddy, helping them navigate tools, policies, contacts, and internal information.
• Partner with Workplace Experience and managers to support local events and rewards for operatives.
• Support organisational changes such as new warehouse openings, site closures, or new operational activities like EVS and Recommerce.
• Assist the CPP team with preparation for Works Council meetings when needed.
