HR Operations Specialist

Job description

About Peddler

Peddler is building the next generation of urban delivery.

We operate a fast-growing, fully electric last-mile logistics network built for modern cities and modern commerce. As traditional delivery models come under pressure from rising costs, stricter city regulations, and growing demand for speed and flexibility, we are building the infrastructure that retailers, brands, and e-commerce platforms need.

Our mission is to transform current urban logistics into a fully sustainable network. We achieve this in collaboration with international partners who supply our city hubs, after which we handle the last-mile delivery with our electric fleet. By joining Peddler, you become part of a company that values sustainability and innovation, playing a key role in our mission to transform last-mile delivery.

To continue making the planet a greener place, we need great people. And those people need support from our amazing People team. In this role as HR Operations Specialist, you will ensure that our people are empowered to continue to make logistics a greener place.

• You will manage all necessary steps to maintain a great workforce from start to end - contracts, other documents, data in our system, on-/off-boardings, departures, and everything else you are probably familiar with.

• Participate in HR communication, policy updates, and other measures to develop and maintain employee engagement.
• You will focus on HR Projects to make our processes more efficient.
• You will play an advisory role in individual people's cases and always stay close to them.

• You bring strong relationship-building skills and a supportive approach.
• You have worked with HR systems before.
• You are familiar with google sheets.
• You have experience managing payroll processes with external partners (NMBRS) and making sure everything falls into place.
• Ideally, you are familiar with high-volume tasks and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
• You feel comfortable as a one-person team and make independent decisions.
• Applied knowledge in Dutch labor law and HR practises in your previous role(s).
