Solo is building Europe’s leading one-stop shop for custom branded merchandise. Solo Paris, Solo midocean and XD Connects, three strong and well-established companies, are coming together as one European powerhouse. Today, our HR systems, processes and data still live in three different worlds. Bringing them together is your mission.
A high-performing, engaged team is one of the key enablers of our strategy, and technology is what makes it work at scale. You will build the HR technology foundation for the new organisation from the ground up: one stack, one trusted source of data, and smart solutions that make life easier for HR, leaders and colleagues on the frontline alike.
We DARE to rethink how HR works. We CARE about technology that solves real problems for real people. And we GO FAST, building solutions that grow with us instead of holding us back.
Why this role exists
You turn the needs of our business into technology that works. You own the HR technology stack for Solo, and you have a sharp eye for where technology genuinely solves a problem, rather than following the latest trend.
What you will do
You start by mapping the HR systems landscape across our three legacy companies and turning it into one consolidated HR technology roadmap. From there, you lead the implementation and migration of our core systems, from HRIS and payroll integrations to performance, talent and recruitment tools. You build with scalability as a starting principle: no stopgaps, but solutions that grow with the organization.
Good technology starts with listening. You actively gather input from HR colleagues, managers and employees, and translate what you hear into choices that solve the real problem, not just the first or easiest one. But you don’t stop at the wish list. You look beyond the obvious, spot opportunities nobody has asked for yet, and bring in AI where it makes a real difference, whether in recruitment, onboarding, people analytics or employee self-service. You keep a close eye on what is happening in the HR technology market and bring the best of it into Solo.
You own data quality, integration and governance across our HR systems, so leaders can rely on one trusted source. You build the dashboards and reporting that give HR and leadership insights they can act on. And you don’t work alone: you join forces with IT, Finance and your fellow new HR leads in Talent Management, Engagement & Internal Communications and Change Management to make sure technology serves all of them. You also manage our relationships with external vendors and systems partners.
