This is a hands-on, people-focused role where you’ll help make sure HR processes run smoothly, provide guidance to team leads, and be a trusted contact for employees.

• Advise and coach on performance, career growth, learning & development, and talent planning
• Handle employee relations topics

You’ll be part of a warm and dedicated People & Culture team of 6: CHRO, 2 People Business Partners, a People Operations Specialist, a Total Rewards Specialist, and a Talent Acquisition Specialist.

• A solid track record in advising leads/managers and supporting organizational changes
• Solid knowledge of Dutch labor law and HR practices
• A proactive, approachable and people-centric personality
