We're looking for a People Generalist who's ready to take the wheel and make things happen. This isn't your typical HR role - it's an opportunity to take real ownership, shape how we do People, and build a function that makes a difference as we move forward. Sounds exciting? Keep reading.

As our People Generalist, you'll have the freedom and responsibility to take the lead on all things People in the Netherlands (+ UK and DE). From owning the day-to-day employee experience and supporting our teams and leaders, to improving the way we work and driving global People projects, you'll have a real impact across the business.

But this role goes beyond keeping the People engine running. You'll be a trusted sparring partner to our MT, helping them navigate everything from performance and employee engagement to team development and organisational challenges. You'll report to our Global People Lead in Taiwan and work closely with our CFO in the Netherlands.

The best part? You'll have plenty of room to make this role your own. We’re looking for someone who enjoys switching between strategic thinking and rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

What you’ll do

• Strategic HR Partnership: Act as the primary HR point of contact for employees in the NL, DE, and UK. You will report directly to the Taipei-based Global People Lead and collaborate closely with our CFO to build scalable, employee-centric processes.
• Payroll & HR Operations: Manage end-to-end payroll (NL, UK, and global agencies), benefits (pension, WFH/commuting, bonuses), and contractor MSAs. Serve as the primary BambooHR administrator and manage external vendors (payroll companies, Arbo services, UWV, tax authorities).
• Employee Lifecycle & Compliance: Own all administrative touchpoints from onboarding to offboarding. You will administer complex leave types (sick, maternity, partner, parental), manage employment documents, and ensure compliance by acting as the Prevention Officer (RI&E, BHV), managing WBSO, and supporting the Works Council.
• Culture & Performance: Champion our company culture by leading the Event Team, running Employee Satisfaction Surveys, managing the internal Instagram, and coordinating company-wide Performance Reviews.
• Workplace & Fleet Management: Keep our physical office running flawlessly by overseeing daily lunches, weekly grocery orders, parking allocations, test bikes, and the company car fleet.

What you'll bring

• 4+ years of experience owning and executing the full employee-cycle from start to finish, bonus points if it was in an international and fast-growing company.
• A bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management or you are currently working within this field.
• Experience in handling salary administration and advising team leads on basic employee matters.
• Proactive mindset and way of working, placing importance on accuracy and details.
• Ability to handle confidential information with care, while remaining friendly and approachable.
• In-depth knowledge of Dutch labor and social laws - bonus points for one other market (DE or UK).
• Living in or around Amsterdam or are willing to travel to our office in Amsterdam 3 days per week minimum.
• You have an excellent command of Dutch and English language, both written and spoken.

What you'll get:

• 26 paid holidays for you to unwind.
• Your birthday off!
• Additional paid leaves for special occasions, e.g. marriage/bereavement, maternity/paternity, and moving houses, etc.
• All the tools/equipment you'll need to do the best job possible.
• Working from a home allowance of €2.45/day (maximum five days per week).
• Commuting reimbursement is applicable if the distance (>10 km) is too far to bike.
• Bi-weekly catered lunch twice a month at the office.
• Pension plan.
• Unlimited free consultations for mental well-being with Open Up.
• All the snacks, coffee/tea you can handle and monthly team events.
• Hybrid work environment (3 days at the office 2 days at home).
