You’ll also collaborate closely with the People Team on initiatives that shape and enhance our company culture, ensuring that every employee’s experience is nothing short of outstanding.

About the People Team

After 12 Months: You’ll be driving impact, contributing to our People Roadmap, and making meaningful improvements that resonate across the organization.


What you’ll do:

  • Serve as the first point of contact for employee inquiries on benefits, leave, payroll, policies, and more.
  • Own and execute onboarding and offboarding processes, including delivering the People Ops orientation.
  • Collaborate regularly with managers, the People Team, and external stakeholders to address employment-related issues and ensure smooth operations.
  • Maintain personnel records and ensure data accuracy within our HRIS system (Kiwi HR).
  • Manage and oversee the monthly Dutch and German payroll cycles, while coordinating with our EOR services for Portugal and Belgium.

  • Lead and participate in impactful People Team projects to enhance team operations and employee experience.
  • Proactively identify inefficiencies and drive continuous process improvements.

  • Oversee absence management, ensuring compliance with the “Wet verbetering Poortwachter”.

What you’ll bring to the team:


  • +2 years of work experience as a People Operations, HR Coordinator, or a similar role in The Netherlands
