Talent Specialist

Amsterdam/Antwerp - A good talent process feels simple to colleagues: clear goals, an intuitive platform, actionable feedback, and visibility into the next step. Behind that simplicity lies a lot of careful work. As a Talent Specialist, you ensure that our talent processes run smoothly, our data yields valuable insights, and colleagues know what is expected of them at the right time. You manage GRIP, our performance management platform, from technical setup and testing to communication, coordination, and improvement. Additionally, you contribute to our engagement survey, traineeships, Talent Community, and various talent processes within DPG Media in the Netherlands and Belgium.

A role for someone who loves ensuring things truly work: in the system, in the planning, and for the colleague working with them.

You are part of Team Talent & Impact within People & Sustainability. We stimulate talent development, connect employees with the strategic ambitions of DPG Media, and create space for growth and development.

Together with HR colleagues, managers, employees, and external partners, you ensure that our talent processes are well-designed and continue to improve. Your primary responsibility is the management and further development of GRIP, our platform for goals, feedback, and development. You ensure that processes are properly set up, tested, communicated, and followed up on. You analyze usage and feedback, identify opportunities for improvement, and translate them into concrete solutions.

In addition, you will be involved in:

• Team Reviews, succession planning, and 360° feedback: you support processes surrounding talent and key positions.

• Engagement survey: you coordinate communication and follow-up, analyze results, and help translate these into concrete improvement actions.

• Traineeships: from setting up recruitment campaigns and supporting selection to organizing training sessions and events.

• Talent Community: you support the selection of participants, compile programs, and organize meetings.

• Improvement of talent processes: you continuously look at how processes can become smarter, more efficient, and more user-friendly, including with the help of data and AI.

As a result, your work is varied and concrete. One moment you are testing a new setup in GRIP, the next you are translating research results into an improvement proposal, coordinating with a supplier, or ensuring a meeting or event runs smoothly.

You will join Team Talent & Impact, part of People & Sustainability. We work on talent development, performance, engagement, and growth within DPG Media. Together with colleagues from HR and the business, we ensure that employees can optimally utilize their talent and continue to develop themselves.

We work for colleagues in both the Netherlands and Belgium and therefore switch frequently between different teams, disciplines, and organizational levels.

For this role, we are looking for someone who gets energy from the combination of people, processes, and data. You quickly see where something can be improved, enjoy diving into systems and data, and do not lose sight of the user experience. You take responsibility, work independently, and know how to explain complex matters clearly.

Additionally:

• You have at least an HBO or Bachelor's level of professional and intellectual ability.

• You have at least five years of experience within HR, preferably with talent development, performance management, or similar processes.

• You are independent, responsible, and structured, and you maintain an effortless overview when multiple processes are running simultaneously.

• You can easily switch between strategy and execution: from the bigger picture to precise, executive, and analytical work.

• You are curious and constantly looking for improvement, actively using data, technology, and AI to work smarter.

At DPG Media, we are open to all talent in society. Regardless of your background, we invite you to apply for this position. It is precisely through the differences between colleagues that surprising insights and innovative solutions arise. And that, in turn, fits us very well as an organization. We are curious to know who you are and what qualities and experience you bring. If you want to know more about our inclusive working environment, click here!
