You love clarity and structure. You're the kind of person who tracks every deadline, closes every loop, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.

The role

🤝Your Role

You'll be a core member of our operations team, working directly with real clients and real payroll processes from day one. This isn't a coffee-and-photocopies internship - you'll own a portfolio of clients, coordinate labor changes, and work hands-on with A3 alongside the people building the future of HR in Spain.

What you'll do

Own the day-to-day relationship with a portfolio of clients alongside our operations team.
Coordinate labor-related changes - hires, terminations, contract updates - and ensure proper documentation is in place.
Process payroll-related tasks and legal obligations on time, working hands-on with A3.
Track deadlines, follow-ups and documentation flows across multiple clients.
Communicate changes clearly and make sure clients always feel informed, safe and guided through every process.
