You’re the person who makes things run. The one who sees the missing detail, spots a payroll issue before it escalates, and finds energy in processes that others find tedious. You have extensive operational HR experience and want to contribute as a generalist, without being limited to one niche. Sound like you?
We’re looking for an HR Operations Specialist who thrives in a dynamic, international setting—someone who naturally brings structure and clarity to varied processes and systems to ensure seamless HR service delivery. This role is ideal if you enjoy contributing behind the scenes, supporting global mobility, and making sure everything is legally compliant, timely, and people-first.
What You'll Do
- Own and manage key HR operations processes including payroll input, inbox management, compensation letters, benefit updates, and system accuracy (Workday).
- Collaborate with HR, TA, business teams, payroll vendors, and legal partners across multiple countries.
- Review and track payroll changes, ensure data integrity, and help improve process efficiency.
- Navigate complexity—from shifting deadlines to changing legislation—without losing your calm.
- Support expatriate employees and mobility processes—think visas, tax documents, and relocation logistics.
- Contribute to ongoing improvement efforts and projects—especially those that enhance employee experience, data accuracy, or HR service delivery.
Who You Are:
- You have experience in HR operations (5+ years is a guide, but mindset and operational knowledge matter more than years).
- You understand Dutch employment law and how it applies practically in daily HR operations.
- You know your way around HR systems—Workday is a plus—and are confident with numbers and compliance.
- Communicate clearly and comfortably in English (Dutch is a strong advantage).
- You're someone who finds satisfaction in enabling smooth operations, enjoys the rhythm of HR processes, and can work independently while being a strong team contributor.
- Enjoy solving problems and bringing order to busy, dynamic environments.
- Are confident working independently and juggling multiple tasks without losing track.
- You have experience managing or contributing to HR-related projects — including process improvements, system enhancements, and integrations, with a structured and collaborative approach.
Why This Role?
- You’ll be part of a supportive, international team with global reach and local impact that values reliability, detail, and collaboration.
- Your work has a visible impact—from onboarding to payroll to supporting employees on the move.
- It’s a great fit for someone returning to work, switching industries, or looking to deepen their operational HR experience.
What Can You Expect:
- A hybrid work environment: at least 2–3 days per week in the office — but if you prefer to be with the team every day, we’d love that too.
- A full-time contract (40 hours per week) — though 32 hours can be considered if it’s the right fit for both sides.
- 12-month fixed-term contract with the possibility to extend.
- 30 days of paid holiday, plus public holidays.
- A company laptop and mobile phone are provided for your work.
