PAYROLL & COMPENSATION LEAD
We have invented a solar cell technology that enables endless energy, Powerfoyle. Not only will it change the world, but it also means you will work with leading technology, science, and machines – all under the same roof in our urban factories. We are passionate about the potential of our technology to make products better and easier to use. We build the next generation of clean green industry and unite in the vision of touching the lives of a billion people.
WHO WE ARE
We are on an exciting journey to bring our groundbreaking solar cell technology to the world. Sprung out of the solid Swedish industrial heritage, we are now in the stage of industrializing at scale to create real, impactful change.
A novel technology means that most of what we do has never been done before. It’s challenging to create something new, and at Exeger we embrace that challenge with grit and passion, because we know that what we do matters.
Are you an experienced payroll professional ready to take the next step into a broader role within Compensation & Benefits (C&B)? We’re looking for a Payroll & Compensation Lead to join our HR team, someone who combines deep payroll expertise with curiosity, initiative, and the ambition to shape a modern rewards framework for the company.
In this role, you will take ownership of our payroll operations – managed in close collaboration with our external payroll partner – while also leading the continued development of our Compensation & Benefits structure. You’ll ensure that payroll cycles run smoothly, accurately, and in full compliance with Swedish regulations, while supporting the creation of competitive, fair, and business-aligned reward programs.
The C&B agenda at Exeger is still being shaped, which means you will have real influence over how it evolves. To thrive here, you can be your true, structured self while also knowing how to translate your expertise into pragmatic solutions that work in an entrepreneurial, fast-scaling environment. This role is ideal for someone who wants to expand beyond payroll, contribute strategically, and help build a rewards framework that supports both employees and the company’s long-term growth.
