🌰 About Skello
Skello is the AI-powered HR management solution for frontline teams.
HR tools were designed for offices, yet 55% of the workforce works on their feet and deserves technology built for the field. Our mission is to make their day-to-day better.
For managers and HR leads, Skello offers seamless management from hiring to payroll: our AI automates time-consuming tasks so they can anticipate and oversee while staying fully in control. For teams, Skello guarantees a transparent, collaborative experience from day one.
In July 2026, we reached a major milestone by announcing a €200M funding round to accelerate our growth. After 10 years of listening to our customers, this new chapter reflects our conviction: technology should support and simplify work, never replace people.
Our ambition is to become the go-to AI HR management solution for every frontline team in Europe. 🚀

🧭 Context
Within the Skello Connect team, you are the go-to Technical Project Manager for Spain and Skello's new international markets. You are responsible for scoping, driving, and monitoring integrations between Skello and our clients' systems (payroll, HRIS, third-party tools), ensuring that every new country we launch is seamlessly connected to its local ecosystem. You act as the techno-functional expert for internal teams, clients, and software vendor partners. Your cross-functional role is essential to our international growth!
🎯 Your missions
1.Opening New Markets
Map out the local ecosystem of each new market: payroll vendors, HRIS, and the most common connectors used by our target customers.
Assess the feasibility and complexity of priority integrations, collaborating with Product to build the country-by-country integration roadmap.
Serve as the primary point of contact for local software partners: lead technical workshops, define partner specifications, and negotiate timelines, SLAs, and technical constraints (rate limits, data exchange formats).
2.Driving End-to-End Integrations
Analyze technical and functional requirements from prospects and customers alongside the Sales and Account Management teams.
Write functional and technical specifications, coordinating with the Product and Tech teams.
Track development tickets and QA/acceptance testing, supporting clients throughout their testing phase.
Manage incidents and maintenance (run), handing over to Support once the integration is stabilized.
Implement success metrics and track the activation and actual usage of integrations.
3.Supporting and Upskilling Local Teams
Train and support Spain's CX, Onboarding, Sales, and Account Management teams—who are often more junior—on integration challenges.
Evangelize what integrations can and cannot do to keep sales pitches accurate and grounded.
Build playbooks and reusable resources so each new market gets up to speed faster.
Provide structured feedback on edge cases and unsupported scenarios to enrich the Product roadmap.
4.AI and Agentic Workflows
Leverage AI assistants (e.g., Claude) daily to accelerate your workflows: feasibility scoping, reverse-engineering partner specifications, drafting specs, and summarizing payloads and API exchanges.
Utilize our internal copilots integrated with Jira, GitHub, and Notion, knowing exactly when their outputs are reliable or need to be challenged.
Maintain a critical eye: verify, cite sources, and never mistake an AI hallucination for technical feasibility.
Team Setup & Organization
You are an integral part of the Skello Connect TPM team, alongside Déborah, Valentina, and a France-based TPM (currently being recruited).
You are managed remotely by Victor, Engineering Director, based in Paris. We meet up in person at least once a quarter.
English is the working language across the team.
What we’re looking for
At least 6 years of experience in technical project management, SaaS integration, HRIS, payroll, or information systems.
Engineering background, or a business degree complemented by solid technical skills (coding bootcamp, hands-on integration experience, etc.).
Ability to read JSON payloads, analyze API exchanges, handle SFTP import/export data flows, and investigate anomalies using logs and dashboards (Datadog, Looker).
Strong knowledge of the Spanish market, especially the payroll and HR ecosystem.
Highly autonomous: you work effectively with a remote manager and are confident making independent decisions when facing clients or partners.
Passion for knowledge sharing: you have experience training or mentoring less experienced teams.
Fluent in Spanish and English. French is a plus.
Nice to have
Experience launching a new market or working in an international setting.
Background in HR, payroll, or workforce management environments.
Prior experience building reusable AI workflows (structured prompts, skills, custom projects) for a team.
