HR Generalist Europe

A broad, hands-on HR role covering the complete employee lifecycle

For our European headquarters in Eindhoven, we are looking for an experienced Senior HR Generalist Europe.

In this role, you will be responsible for the complete employee lifecycle: from recruitment, contracts and onboarding to performance management, employee relations, payroll coordination and offboarding. It is a hands-on position in which HR advice and administration go together.

You will support approximately 60 colleagues from 20 nationalities, working across the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland and Sweden.

Because of the size of our organisation, you will know the people you support and can see the direct impact of your work.

You will be an important point of contact for employees and managers across Europe. On one day, you may advise a manager on a performance matter, prepare an employment contract, coordinate payroll changes and welcome a new colleague. On another, you may improve an HR process, update a policy or support a recruitment procedure.

You will be part of our People Team, consisting of the Head of HR, an Office Administrator and you as Senior HR Generalist. You will also work closely with our local payroll providers and external advisers, who support us with country-specific employment legislation.
