HR BUSINESS PARTNER – NETHERLANDS (MULTI-SITE | DUTCH & ENGLISH SPEAKING)

We’re growing fast—and we’re looking for a confident, people-first HR Business Partner to support our expansion across the Netherlands.
This brand-new role offers a unique opportunity to shape our local HR landscape while partnering with our UK-based Group Director of People & Culture and central HR team. You’ll be the go-to expert for all things HR in the Netherlands, blending strategic thinking with hands-on delivery to build a compliant, high-performing, and engaged workforce. This is a hybrid role and you will be required to travel between Veenendaal, Utrecht and Groningen.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As HR Business Partner (HRBP), you’ll work closely with site leadership teams and the wider People & Culture function to bring our group HR strategy to life across our Dutch operations. You’ll be instrumental in embedding our UK-developed people frameworks while tailoring solutions to fit local legislation and cultural nuances.
This role is a mix of operational delivery and strategic support—perfect for someone who loves rolling up their sleeves but also enjoys influencing at a senior level.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Act as a trusted partner to our local managers and site leaders, delivering high-impact HR solutions across multiple locations.
• Support and coach leaders on all key HR topics: employee relations, performance management, recruitment, training, succession planning, and more.
• Drive improvements in performance management, payroll and wage efficiency, cost control, and data accuracy.
• Ensure full compliance with Dutch employment law, while staying aligned with our group frameworks.
• Support new site launches and workforce planning to scale our operations effectively.
• Champion a high-performance culture that reflects our values and creates a great employee experience.
