We are currently recruiting for an HR Manager to join our team. In this unique and exciting opportunity, you will be a valued member of our People & Operations team (4 people in HR, including you!), with a focus on all aspects of HR, including strategy, business partnering, and also the administration side. Your role will contribute to our mission by supporting our teams, the Chief Operating Officer and your HR teammates on all HR-related programmes and initiatives across our ecosystem of companies. 

You will focus on Learning & Development, training and the Metabolic Internship program as a key part of your role. You will also have the opportunity to focus on the aspects of HR that suits your interests and development, as well as contributing to the overall function of the team in a generalist role. 

You love working with people with a supportive mindset and enjoy promoting a collaborative nurturing working environment, whilst also maintaining a strong understanding of HR processes, policy and employment law to ensure resilient effective business operations and a first class professional HR department for your colleagues. You enjoy working and collaborating closely across the business to achieve shared objectives and problem solve creatively.

You are an effective communicator with the ability to drive initiatives and projects autonomously, as well as collaborating with small teams. We are looking for a creative and solutions-oriented individual with a people focused mindset.

You are excited to engage with new developments in the field of human resources by adapting to legislative changes in labour law, implementing innovative new policies, technologies, and practices. You are able to apply these proactively and creatively in the unique context in which we work.

You will possess working experience in an HR environment with strong management and administrative skills, and ideally be educated in a relevant HR discipline, preferably with earlier experience in the Netherlands but in an international setting.  

Be part of a dynamic and ambitious team that is passionate about sustainability and technology and making an impact. Collaborate and work alongside world-class experts in the fields of sustainability and circularity across our ecosystem of companies. We are growing fast and are very passionate about changing the world together.

This opportunity will place you in an environment that values people with their own ideas and initiatives. We believe in flat hierarchies, shared decision-making and impact over profit. You will be able to participate in an evolving decentralized governance system and be part of a close-knit community of people with shared interests and a strong company culture. 

We are based in Amsterdam, but operate a hybrid working model, giving you the freedom to work both at home and at our vibrant office in Amsterdam.  The people and relationship-oriented nature of this role requires you to work in Amsterdam at our offices several days per week.
