Working Student Payroll

Who you are

• Enrolled at a university, ideally in a business- or law-related degree program, with at least 1.5 years of study remaining
• Availability of 20 hours per week during term time
• Very good German skills (C1 or higher) — correspondence with health insurance providers and authorities is conducted exclusively in German — as well as good English as our team language
• A careful and reliable way of working, even with recurring tasks
• Confident use of Excel; some initial exposure to SQL or automation tools is a plus, but not required
• A responsible approach to handling confidential data

What the job involves

• Contributing to monthly payroll processing in SAP: maintaining data, sanity-checking results, and catching anomalies before they end up on a payslip
• Handling correspondence with health insurance providers, authorities, and government offices, and following up to make sure changes are properly reflected in the system
• Preparing bulk changes as upload files and checking them against our master data
• Creating certificates/documents and handling requests from the payroll inbox, based on existing templates and with the team as a sounding board
• Preparing analyses and reports from SAP and BigQuery
• Actively improving our processes: spotting recurring requests and duplicate work and tackling them yourself — building a response template, automating a reconciliation, or documenting a process so it works even without you being there. We work with tools including Claude and Google Cloud
