Company mission
To make work for event service providers easier and more productive.
Role
Who you are
- This is a role for someone who 1) takes pride in operational excellence and 2) looks for ways to improve the work
- You have 2-4 years of experience in a People Operations, HR Admin, or People Specialist role at a scale-up or SMB
- You've owned payroll end-to-end for at least one country; NL experience is strongly preferred; multi-country is a real plus
- You have solid working knowledge of Dutch employment law and admin: contracts, sick leave, Wet Poortwachter, 30% ruling, and visa/IND basics
- You're hands-on experience with an HRIS; Personio is a strong plus; comparable tools are fine
- You're fluent in both English and Dutch; Rentman operates bilingually, and this seat needs both
- You document as you go. Every recurring process gets a Confluence page
- Confidentiality is non-negotiable for you; you handle payroll, exits, sick leave, and contracts without a second thought about discretion
- You're a natural loop-closer: you don't drop tasks at handover boundaries, you communicate proactively, and you flag issues early
Desirable
- Multi-country payroll experience (Netherlands, Germany, Canada)
- Experience in a payroll automation or HRIS improvement project
- Active use of AI tools in operational work
- Exposure to onboarding programme design or BP cycle support
What the job involves
- As our People Operations Specialist, you'll be the single owner of Rentman's People Operations
- Be the person who makes sure that every payroll cycle runs flawlessly, every new hire has a great first day, and every employee gets a fast, reliable answer when they need one
- Additionally, you are the single person responsible for the employee experience, which is a nice challenge to have for a company in hyper growth
- You'll work closely with our Head of People & Legal, our incoming Senior People Business Partner, and our Office Operations Manager to keep the operational machine running reliably as Rentman continues to scale
- Run the monthly payroll cycle
- Own HR Administration in Personio
- Execute a welcoming onboarding for new hires from pre-boarding through day 1
- Manage off-boarding and exit interviews
- Handle sick leave intake and case administration
- Coordinate 30% ruling, visa, and IND processes for international hires
- Issue standard employment contracts using the templates set by Legal
- Prepare the administrative groundwork for Performance Reviews, eNPS, Learning & Development, and Personal Scorecard cycles
- Track cycle readiness, send reminders, prep data, and follow up on completion
- Partner with Finance on our payroll automation programme
- Explore AI and automation opportunities across People Ops admin: identifying recurring manual work and proposing better ways
- Document every recurring process in Confluence so the team is never dependent on one person's memory
Application process
- Call with recruiter about the role (30 mins)
- Past experience & culture interview (60 mins)
- Take-home assignment (max 120 mins)
- Final skills interview at our office with your future manager (60 mins)
Our take
Events are a major part of any industry, and require a lot of logistics and organisation. Rentman has capitalised on the necessity and difficulty of events by building a software platform that supports the events and media production industry in managing their people and equipment.
Event management and production teams can use Rentman's cloud-based software to manage gear and crew, all from one central base of operations, with features including scheduling, invoicing, reporting and tracking. Thus, the many moving parts of an event are centralised and streamlined - whether for a corporate live streaming broadcast or a wedding.
Rentman’s 250,000-strong user base has spread to over 100 countries, evidencing the company’s savvy and vital niche in the event software market. A spinout from Utrecht University, the company remained bootstrapped until 2023, when it raised an impressive funding round that will enable it to grow through acquisitions and give it the runway to develop more products.
