Ready to get shit done?

At bunq, we’re challenging the status quo in banking - to do that, people that want to get shit done become the core of what we do 💪🏻

You reinvent the People function for the company of the future, by rethinking and reshaping how we connect the dots between humans and business.

We are looking for an experienced people leader who wants to focus on how talent shapes what a company is capable of achieving. We’re looking for people that lead - regardless of if you’re from HR, Consulting, Engineering, International tech companies and even former CEOs of startups looking to reinvent what they can contribute ✨

Take Ownership

Being our Head of People will involve end to end responsibility from finding talent, helping that talent achieve success in their roles, and growing that talent for what comes next. People power the company’s ability to grow and impact the lives of our users, and this is your chance to architect an entirely new system that can flex and grow over time. We want the right person to help that power grow to make a true difference, including:

  • Translating our long-term business objectives into tangible ownerships and KPIs for people teams 🎤
  • Enabling our bunqers by ensuring that they have the right tools and environment for them to succeed 🌟
  • Supporting further international growth by deploying scalable, future-proof People strategies ⚒️
  • Understanding what makes bunq bunq 🌈, and keeping our culture intact

And as you own these ownerships, you get to:

  • Redesign what the People function means at bunq
  • Create a system that grows people in their skills and abilities as businesses change
  • Architect an environment where every bunqer is qualified to do far more than is defined by age or experience
  • Truly feel the impact of your work at bunq through the bunqers

This challenge is perfect for you if

  • You have a bold vision of what the future of human capital should look like
  • You have ample strategic experience in growing environments - again, we don’t need you to specifically have done HR!
  • You’re naturally an entrepreneur with a drive to make impact
  • Describes yourself as someone who is: Decisive, Determined, Inspiring, a Problem-solver, someone who Acts with integrity

We give you the space and the tools you need to succeed 💪🏼
