Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years of experience in HR, with at least 2–3 years in an advisory role. You understand the importance of HR Operations and can design and execute processes flawlessly. Additionally, you are able to advise managers and employees on complex HR topics and resolve nuanced situations. You are customer-focused, action-oriented, and thrive in dynamic environments
- We’re looking for someone who can operate at multiple levels: from rolling up their sleeves to handle operational HR tasks to partnering strategically with leadership. You’re a ‘doer’ who’s equally comfortable improving a payroll process as you are advising managers on organizational development or employee relations
- You love managing complexity, optimizing work processes, and building effective teams
- Knowledge and experience working with Dutch labor law; fluency in Dutch is required
- Detail-oriented, extremely organized and customer-focused
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Tech-savvy and innovation-driven, with hands-on experience using tools like HiBob, Notion, Slack, Juro, ChatGPT, and Zapier — and a curiosity for exploring how emerging technologies (especially AI) can enhance and automate HR processes
- Versatile, able to handle both tactical and operational HR tasks with a can-do mentality
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and organize and prioritize work
- Interest in developing mental well-being knowledge for self and the organization
- Knowledge of HR best practices
- Passionate about technology and innovation and how latest technological advancements will influence HR practices
- Desirable if you have experience with German labor law
What the job involves
- As HR Manager at OpenUp, you will be a key enabler in making mental well-being accessible by fostering a supportive, efficient, high-performing, and empowering environment for all employees
- Day-to-day HR operations (onboarding, offboarding, absence management, HR administration, etc.), including continuous improvement of core HR processes and their integration with technology
- Monitor and ensure compliance with Dutch labor laws and other relevant regulations, proactively advising on legal risks and changes
- Serve as the first point of contact for employees for their inquiries and concerns; providing guidance, advice, and problem-solving throughout their employee experience
- Business partner activities, including assessing team needs together with managers and proposing interventions
- Collaborate with department leaders to execute HR processes and associated activities and provide strategic guidance
- Lead functional ownership in key HR areas such as performance and development, compensation and benefits, engagement, DEIB, and HR technology, ensuring they align with company goals and policies
- Design and execute people strategies (e.g., recognition program, engagement survey, etc.)
- As part of the leadership team, you will collaborate with other people managers to shape our HR strategy and drive initiatives that support our company’s growth and values. You will manage a small team consisting of the Office Manager and an HR Assistant
Our take
Therapy and consultations are invaluable resources for helping people manage their mental health, but accessing such services is not easy. Long waiting lists, strict assessments, and other time-consuming processes present significant challenges, and this can often dishearten or even prevent someone from receiving the care they need.
OpenUp provides low-threshold mental health services, offering consultations, coaching and other programs for both individuals and workforces. The company's application process is designed to be as simple and undemanding as possible, aiming to eradicate the usual challenges and ultimately increasing access to mental health care.
There are many startups providing mental health service marketplaces, AI-driven therapy, and other innovative tools - but OpenUp has stuck with a more traditional approach. Instead it has innovated upon the way users apply for the services, aiming to remove as much bureaucratic friction as possible for their clients.
So far this approach has met with success, and OpenUp has grown a client base of over 850 companies including the likes of McDonalds, Deloitte and Decathlon. Having raised significant funding, OpenUp continues to expand its services across Europe, focusing on Spain, France and the UK.
