Generalist - Human Resource
Job ID: 102565
Join our regional HR team and contribute to our organization's success. Work in a supportive, collaborative environment where your expertise and dedication make a real impact.
Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.
Your Impact
You will be joining our proactive and collaborative team as a Human Resources Generalist in Amsterdam.
In this role, you will independently manage human resources activities across the employee lifecycle while serving as a trusted resource for colleagues and business partners in the geography. You will play a key role in delivering exceptional support, ensuring compliance with legal and organizational requirements, and contributing to the achievement of our strategic goals.
As a vital member of the human resources team, you will work closely with colleagues across geographies and collaborate with counterparts in other functions, such as Legal, Payroll, Talent Management, Recruiting, Compensation, Professional Development, and other HR Operations teams. Your efforts will help maintain alignment with policies and processes while supporting colleagues to perform at their best.
Your responsibilities will include providing hands-on HR support to stakeholders and colleagues, managing the on- and off-boarding processes for new hires, transfers and role changes (including orientation execution), and supporting role changes, rotations, and flexible work programs. You will ensure accurate HR data and document management with a focus on data integrity, assist managers with evaluation and performance management processes, and communicate and interpret policies and procedures to ensure clarity and consistency. Additionally, you will lead and support colleague care programs and employee relations initiatives, acting as a trusted source of information and guidance for colleagues while escalating issues as needed.
You will be part of our Human Resources team, which is a key component of the wider People team, and your contributions will help foster a supportive and compliant work environment.
This is a hybrid role, and you will be expected to work from the office a few days a week.
Your Growth
You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
When you join us, you will have:
- Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
- Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- Exceptional benefits: In addition to a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, mental health, and vision coverage for you, your spouse/partner, and children.
Your qualifications and skills
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree required
- Proven experience in human resources or other related fields, with a strong understanding of the employee lifecycle and compliance requirements
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders
- Proficiency in human resources information systems, HRIS / AFAS, and case management tools or the willingness to learn
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with a commitment to delivering an equitable and efficient human resources experience
- Full time availability
