As an HR Business Partner, you’ll act as a strategic sparring partner for department leadership, advising on workforce planning, talent, performance, employee relations and organizational change. You’ll translate business and HR strategy into concrete initiatives, use data to drive decisions, and coach managers through complex people topics.

- You build trust quickly and keep it. You handle sensitive matters with integrity and deliver unpopular messages when needed.
- You influence senior stakeholders constructively: you challenge assumptions, make trade-offs explicit, and hold the line on agreed standards.
- You’re fluent in English; (Dutch is a strong plus)

The team
You’ll join a compact team of three: our Global Head of HR Business Partnering, who also carries part of the operational workload, and two HR Business Partners. With you, we’ll be four, together covering all TOPdesk departments. You’ll report to the Global Head of HR Business Partnering, who is part of the VP HR leadership team, so your line to decision-makers is short.
