Build something monumental for Healthcare!

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!

About the role

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 is a critical part of the role and something you’ll own with confidence, but the opportunity is broader: solving People Ops problems across markets, improving our systems, benefits and employee experience, and helping us scale.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves getting the details right, enjoys creating structure and takes pride in providing a reliable, thoughtful employee experience.

You’ll notice where employees or managers are experiencing friction, get curious about why, and take ownership of improving it!

What you will do

• Own end-to-end payroll across multiple European entities, including Sweden, coordinating with local payroll providers to ensure every payroll cycle runs smoothly and on time

• 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

People Operations

• Own key operational parts of the employee lifecycle, including onboarding queries, contracts, amendments, employment changes, and offboarding

• Help administer and evolve benefits across our markets, partnering with providers and ensuring employees understand and can access what’s available.

• 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

What you bring

• 2–3 years of experience across People Operations, payroll or People operations, with meaningful hands-on responsibility for payroll.

• 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

• You’re naturally curious about how things work. When you see a recurring employee question, manual workaround or frustrating process, you want to understand the root cause and make it better.

You’ll thrive here if you

• 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

• Experiment with systems, automation and AI to remove repetitive work, improve data quality and make People support easier to access.

• 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

Bonus points

• 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

• Familiarity with Swedish payroll and pension administration
