• Leading People & Culture improvement projects from idea to implementation.
• Supporting the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding.
• Ensuring accurate HR administration, contracts and payroll coordination.
• Helping maintain compliant HR practices across our international offices.
• Working closely with People & Culture, Finance and Legal to support business growth.

You'll have:

• A Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration or a related field.
• At least 5 years of HR experience, including business partnering.
• Experience managing HR projects independently.
• Knowledge of Dutch employment law and HR best practices.
• Experience in an international and/or SaaS environment is a strong plus.
