About the Role

As Head of HR, you are a strategic partner to the Strategy team. You play an important role in shaping the organization’s people strategy, aligning HR policies with business goals, and fostering a strong, values-driven culture.

You combine strategic vision with hands-on leadership — ensuring that our teams are empowered, engaged, and future-ready. Your focus lies on organizational development, talent management, and cultural alignment rather than purely operational HR processes.

• Cultivate an environment that supports innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

• Champion our core values: Shine, Collaborate, Excellence, Integrity, Strength, and Giving.
• Translate these values into tangible HR programs, communications, and leadership behaviors.
• Lead the culture program and train team leaders to model and reinforce our shared values.
• Act as a trusted ambassador for company culture across all levels of the organization.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and mentor the Office Manager and HR Officer to oversee HR operations (contracts, payroll, compliance).
• Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on people-related challenges and opportunities.
• Be an active member of the management team, contributing to overall organizational direction and leadership excellence.

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in HRM, Business Administration, or Organizational Psychology.
• 7+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in a senior or strategic HR role.
• Strong understanding of organizational design, leadership development, and change management.
• Experienced in coaching managers and influencing at leadership level.
• Fluent in English and Dutch.
• Hands-on with a strategic mindset — able to balance vision and execution.

What We Offer

• A key strategic role within a purpose-driven, values-led organization.
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• A collaborative, people-first culture that values authenticity and excellence.
• Salary between €4.500 - €5.300 based on full-time position of 40 hrs. The amount will be pro-rata to the contracted hours.
