• Strategic Advisor:
  Serve as a trusted sounding board for the Management Team, offering objective advice and diving into special projects as needed to align the organization’s people strategy with business goals.

• HR Operations:
  Manage day-to-day administrative tasks and ensure smooth execution of HR operations across multiple locations.

• Onboarding & Offboarding:
  Define and implement structured HR processes for onboarding and offboarding employees in all regions, ensuring a positive experience for all staff members, regardless of location.

• Performance Management:
  Lead the design and implementation of performance review processes that support continuous growth and development across diverse teams and locations.

• Talent Development:
  Develop and execute a Talent Learning & Development strategy that nurtures employee growth and skills, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development across a distributed, international team.

• Recruitment & Employer Branding:
  Drive recruitment efforts, ensuring we attract top talent across our regions. Collaborate with Marketing to maintain a strong employer brand that resonates with prospective hires globally and highlights our values of diversity and impact.

• Office Management:
  Directly manage the Office Manager and ensure a smooth, supportive office environment for our team in Amsterdam while also offering support to other regions as needed.

What You Will Gain:

• Impact: Help shape the future of surgical care through the growth and development of our people, influencing our international teams.

• Influence: Play a pivotal role in defining and executing our people strategy as we expand across Europe, the US and the Middle East.

• Start-Up to Global Scale-Up Experience: Embrace the joys and challenges of taking a start-up through its growing pains, scaling its people practices, and establishing a high-performance culture across multiple global offices.

• Dynamic Culture: Contribute to a dynamic, values-driven culture where impact, growth and learning, and diversity and collaboration are central to our success.

• Strategic & Hands-On Role: Be a strategic business partner to our leadership team, while also rolling up your sleeves to execute and manage day-to-day people operations and processes as we scale.

• Scale-up Environment: Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic atmosphere with opportunities to drive change and innovation across multiple regions.

• Growth Opportunities: A chance to develop your career in a rapidly evolving company with an expanding global presence.

• Work Flexibility: A full-time role (36-40 hours/week) with a competitive compensation package in a scale-up environment. Work from our Amsterdam HQ (Oostenburgereiland) minimum 3 days a week.
