As a People Operations Specialist at Brenger, you are the one who ensures that everything surrounding People runs smoothly. From a warm welcome on someone's first day of work to recruitment, payroll, and smart People processes: you maintain the overview, arrange what is necessary, and see where things can be improved.

You are close to the team and our managers, receive a lot of responsibility, and have plenty of room to further professionalize our People Operations/HR. And because no two days are the same, you switch easily between a question from a colleague, a new hire, a recruitment process, and organizing the next team activity.

In this broad role, you are an important pivot within Brenger. You keep our daily People Operations running while simultaneously looking continuously at how things can be smarter, easier, and better.

Concretely, this means you:

• are the first point of contact for the team and managers regarding People questions

• ensure a smooth employee journey, from onboarding and contract changes to offboarding

• coordinate recruitment and, together with hiring managers, ensure a great candidate experience

• keep personnel files, documentation, and People administration carefully in order

• continuously improve our People processes and employee experience

• manage and use our HRIS (HiBob) and other People systems more smartly

• coordinate payroll input and processes regarding sick leave, UWV, and occupational health services (Arbodienst)

• ensure that our office is a pleasant, well-organized place to work

• coordinate team activities and events that make Brenger just a little bit more fun

At Brenger, we work on a smarter and more sustainable way of transport. Our platform utilizes empty space in the vans of professional couriers to transport large items efficiently and affordably. This allows customers to save on transport costs, helps couriers earn more on routes they are already driving, and reduces unnecessary CO₂ emissions. Win, win, win.
