Hi, we are Swapfiets! 👋 Welcome to the world of worry-free biking! We are providing members an all-inclusive bike subscription with free repairs and maintenance and lead the movement to more liveable cities.

At Swapfiets, we've built a business on a simple idea: give people a reliable way to get around, and take away the hassle. Over 250,000 members across Europe trust us to keep them rolling. Behind that promise is a People & Culture team that keeps our organisation running just as smoothly, and that's where you come in.

We're looking for a People Specialist who knows Dutch labour law inside out, keeps HR administration tight, and doesn't wait to be asked before spotting a problem and fixing it. 🚲 🚀

How you pedal us forward:

• Own HR administration and payrolling for the Netherlands, ensuring accuracy and timely execution at every step.

• Be the knowledge owner for Dutch labour law, proactively tracking changes, translating them into practice, and keeping the business compliant.

• Advise employees and managers on local HR topics, legislation, and Swapfiets policy.

• Handle individual employee matters and manage communication with external parties: UWV, tax authorities, payroll providers, unions and employer associations.

• Review and improve HR processes and systems (we work with HiBob and Remote) to keep things running efficiently.

• Take end-to-end responsibility for People Operations in the Netherlands. Support, guide and coach your People Specialist colleagues, coordinate HR projects, and act as a proactive challenger and advisor to our Centers of Excellence.

• Stakeholder Management: Act as a liaison with country managers, Finance, Tech/ Data teams and external stakeholders to maximize your impact.

The gear you need:

• Fluent in Dutch and English.

• A Bachelor's degree, preferably in HRM, Law, or a related field.

• 3–5 years of experience in an HR operations role.

• Solid, up-to-date knowledge of Dutch labour law, and the drive to keep it that way.

• A track record in accurate, structured HR administration; you get the details right without being asked twice.

• A proactive mindset: you flag issues early, take ownership, and follow through.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, international environment where things don't always come with a manual

Benefits for a smooth ride:

• Salary from €3184.- gross per month, depending on your experience, + 8% holiday allowance.

• Your own Swapfiets (lend-lease) 🚲!

• 32 vacation days for ample time off (that’s right, next to 25 vacation days you can use your 7 Swap days as you please).

• A solid pension plan and a discount on your health insurance.

• Mac or Windows laptop and phone allowance.

• A challenging and rewarding role with significant responsibility and friendly colleagues.

• Travel allowance (if you live more than 11 km away from the office, otherwise you’ll just use your Swapfiets, right.. 😎?)

• Delicious and affordable lunch at the office prepared by our lunch heroes.

• Access to Urban Sports Club for Business arrangement (to promote your healthy lifestyle!)

• Learning programs development opportunities through our L&D department.

• Engaging workshops and inspirational talks.

• One day off per year to do voluntary work paid by Swapfiets.

• Flexibility to work from and at the office in Amsterdam.
