People Operations Partner

At Fourthline, our mission is to fight financial crime. We help protect the global financial system by verifying millions of identities for banks, neobanks, online brokers, crypto exchanges, and insurers like N26, Trade Republic, flatexDEGIRO, Nationale Nederlanden, Qonto, Shine, Solarisbank, and more.

Having started our journey in January 2018, we're incredibly proud to count around 250 employees between our Amsterdam and Barcelona offices with over 50 nationalities.

The role 

We're growing fast — and we need someone who can keep our people operations running just as smoothly. As our People Operations Partner in Spain, you'll own the full employee lifecycle, keep us compliant, and make sure every person at Fourthline feels supported from day one. 

This isn't a box-ticking role. You'll work autonomously, solve problems before they become issues, and help shape the people experience in a company that's building something meaningful. 

What you'll do 

Employee lifecycle — Manage everything from onboarding to offboarding contracts, amendments, probation periods, and all employment documentation. You keep our records accurate and our processes airtight. 

Payroll & admin — Own monthly payroll in collaboration with internal stakeholders and external providers. Accurate, compliant, on time — every time. You'll also manage benefits, leave, and people-related reporting. 

Employee support — Be the go-to person for day-to-day questions on policies, benefits, and employment matters. You bring clarity, not complexity. 

Compliance & labour relations — Stay ahead of Spanish labour law and employment regulations. Monitor legislative changes, advise managers, and keep our policies sharp and up to date. 

Continuous improvement — Spot what can be done better and do something about it. You'll drive process optimization and bring scalable, efficient solutions to our people's operations. 

What you bring 

• 3+ years in People Operations, with solid hands-on experience 
• Strong knowledge of Spanish labour law, employment regulations, and HR compliance 
• Proven experience managing payroll processes in Spain 
• The ability to work autonomously and juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball 
• Sharp attention to detail and strong organizational skills 
• A proactive, solutions-first mindset 
• Clear, confident communication — with both employees and manager
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
• Proficiency in HR systems
• Fluent in both Spanish and English.  
• Ability to work 3 days from our Barcelona office. 

Bonus points for: experience in a scale-up or high-growth startup, supporting distributed or international teams, or familiarity with HRIS and payroll platforms. 

Who you are 

You don't wait to be told what needs fixing — you've already spotted it and started solving it. You care about people, take pride in getting the details right, and understand that great people operations is what lets everyone else do their best work. 

At Fourthline, we believe diversity enriches our culture and inspires you to do your best work. We value your unique talents and perspectives, welcoming them into a safe and inclusive working environment, to ultimately deliver the best products to our customers and society. You're welcome here. Fourthline is for everyone.

Our hiring process is designed to be equal, fair, and transparent. We welcome people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, religions, and experiences in life. If you're excited about this role, but your experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.
