(Senior) People Operations & Payroll Officer

Join Our International People Team

Do you enjoy supporting your colleagues with HR matters, and love improving processes and ensuring payroll accuracy? If this sounds like you, then keep on reading.

You’ll be joining an international team based in Amsterdam. Here’s a little intro to who we are: Joyce, originally from France, is our People Director (and your future manager!). She leads the team with warmth and a clear vision. Then there’s Smara from Greece—she’s our go-to Talent Acquisition expert and also takes care of rewards and benefits. Shah, from Pakistan, is both our TA & People Partner and the life of the party (literally). You’ll also be working with Ioanna, another one of our brilliant People Partners, also from Greece.

Gaia, who’s from Slovenia, drives our Learning & Development efforts and is super passionate about helping our colleagues grow. And while most of us are in Amsterdam, we’ve got three fantastic colleagues in Bangalore – Lincy, Hari and Ashwini – who support our team there and keep the Travix spirit alive across continents.

If this sounds like a team you’d love to be part of, we can’t wait to meet you!
