How to Apply for Consultant - Conformité Fiscale, Paie & Statut Juridique RH (7 Pays) - HQ

at INTERSOS

🏢 About INTERSOS

INTERSOS is a humanitarian organization founded in 1992, operating in frontline crisis situations to assist vulnerable populations affected by conflicts, extreme poverty, and natural disasters. Working here means being part of a values-driven team committed to solidarity, human dignity, and equal rights, with a focus on reaching those in the most complex and hard-to-access areas.

About This Role

As a Consultant for Fiscal Compliance, Payroll & Legal HR Status across 7 countries, you will ensure INTERSOS's HR operations are compliant with local laws and regulations in multiple African countries. This role is critical for mitigating legal risks and ensuring that staff are correctly contracted, paid, and protected, directly supporting the organization's ability to deliver aid effectively.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking emails and updates on legal changes in the countries you are covering. You could spend the morning analyzing payroll data or reviewing contracts for compliance, and the afternoon conducting virtual training sessions with HR staff in different time zones. You might also have calls with local authorities or legal advisors to clarify specific fiscal issues, and you would regularly document your findings and recommendations in reports for the Regional HR Coordinator.
