Missions

🏗️ Alassio, in a few words

The payroll market in accounting firms has for decades been dominated by long-established solutions. At Alassio, our ambition is to modernize the profession for payroll managers, with modern, scalable software designed for the realities of the field.

Launched in July 2025 and deployed with clients since March 2026, Alassio raised €2.6M in pre-seed funding from Partech and leading business angels. We are accelerating to support new firms across France, while maintaining a strong focus on product quality and support.

🎯 Why this role, now

Payroll software is only as good as the accuracy of its business rules. Whether a topic comes from the roadmap or from a firm, each subject must be analyzed carefully before it is developed: applicable rules, edge cases, impacts on payslips and on the DSN. With new firms joining and Alassio extending to new schemes, these topics are multiplying.

🚀 Your role

You are Alassio's reference business analyst for payroll: you break down complex topics and turn a business need into a reliable solution, then make sure that what is delivered truly works for our firms. Your analysis topics come from two sources: the payroll product roadmap, and the most complex cases escalated by our firms.

🧭 Your missions

• Analyze business topics from the roadmap: applicable rules, edge cases, impacts on payslips and the DSN, particularly for Alassio's extension to new schemes

• Investigate the most complex cases escalated by support: calculation discrepancies, anomalies and DSN rejections, corrections; identify the root cause and the right response (bug, evolution, or configuration, the latter being handled by the Payroll Configuration Engineer)

• Formalize your analyses into functional specifications for the Tech team

• Build test cases before each production release

• Carry topics end to end, from scoping to production release, with the Tech team

• Prototype when needed using AI tools to validate an approach

• Turn every analysis into an improvement source: transform recurring pain points into product topics, prioritized with Huy Anh (Business Lead), and enrich the functional documentation and knowledge base

🔁 Your rituals

• Kickoffs for the topics you carry or work on

• A weekly triage with Huy Anh, the Payroll Configuration Engineer and support: feedback from firms, corrections, product priorities

• The whole team's demo day, every Friday at noon

🤝 Your environment

• You work daily with Huy Anh (Business Lead), the Payroll Configuration Engineer, support, the Tech team and Ludivine (Legal Lead)

• Tools: Alassio, Linear, Notion, Intercom, AI tools

🗓️ Your first 6 months

• At 1 month: you master the product, the calculation engine and the support process; you analyze your first cases reported by firms, and your first specification is reviewed with Huy Anh

• At 3 months: you carry a roadmap topic end to end (specification, test cases, acceptance testing), the analysis of feedback from firms is systematized, and you share your report on first impressions

• At 6 months: you are the business reference for the Product squad; topics reach developers better specified, with fewer back-and-forths, and firms' pain points are resolved faster

Desired profile

🌱 Experience

Essential:

• 5 to 8 years of payroll experience, including experience as a consultant at a payroll software publisher or as a project owner (MOA) in payroll

• Solid knowledge of payroll rules in a multi-collective-agreement environment

• Clear and structured writing, understandable by both a developer and a payroll manager

A plus:

• Experience with a market payroll software

• Experience with a product management tool (Linear, Jira or equivalent)
