People Operations Apprentice

We're looking for a People Operations apprentice to join Datadog's EMEA Compliance team in Paris - the team responsible for

ensuring our employees across EMEA are well-supported and that our HR processes run smoothly and in compliance with local

requirements. As part of this team, you'll work alongside HR professionals to handle day-to-day administrative tasks, coordinate

with internal teams and external providers, and help maintain the operational backbone that employees and stakeholders rely on

every day. This is a hands-on role where you'll gain real exposure to HR compliance, immigration coordination, and employment law

in an international environment. If you're detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn how a global HR function operates, this

apprenticeship is for you.

As a People Operations apprentice, you will combine theoretical learning at your school with practical, hands-on experience

supporting this team on a wide range of administrative and operational tasks. You will interact regularly with HR (People Business

Partners, People Solutions, Payroll, Benefits, Center of Expertises), Legal and Recruiting teams, as well as external providers

across EMEA countries.

Over the course of your apprenticeship, you will progressively take on more responsibilities as you become familiar with our

processes, tools, and the regulatory landscape we operate in.

• Prepare and issue standard HR documents including employment contracts, addendum, probation period letters, and other employee

relations documentation

• Draft and manage correspondence related to accommodation requests (e.g. reduced working hours, therapeutic part-time

arrangements), ensuring timely follow-up and proper filing

• Monitor employee absence reports and flag relevant cases to the appropriate HR and Payroll teams
• Coordinate occupational health appointments for employees in EMEA (when applicable), including scheduling, employee

communications, and tracking completion

• Support the internship recruitment campaign in coordination with the Campus Recruiting and People Solutions teams
• Maintain and update internal compliance resources, including mandatory workplace postings (affichage obligatoire) and the

Employee Handbook

• Pull and consolidate data from Workday to produce recurring HR reports and maintain tracking dashboards
• Ensure documents are properly updated, filed, and securely stored in our systems

• You are completing a degree in Human Resources, Law, Business Administration, or a related field, and this apprenticeship is

required as part of your academic curriculum

• You are organized, rigorous, and comfortable managing multiple tasks simultaneously
• You understand the importance of handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion
• You are a clear communicator, both in writing and verbally, in French and English
• You are proactive and enjoy keeping processes running smoothly
• You are comfortable working with data and spreadsheets, and have a good command of Excel
• You are curious about HR operations, employment administration, and how global people teams work
• You have a positive attitude and are ready to learn from experienced team members in a fast-paced, international environment
• Familiarity with Workday or other HRIS tools is a plus, but not required

Please ensure that you submit your CV/resume in English.

If possible, please apply using your personal email address instead of your university email address.
