Requirements
What we're looking for
Experience with AFAS and knowledge of functional application administration, HR processes, and HR applications, including recruitment and learning management systems.
Knowledge of information analysis, functional specifications, and testing methodologies.
Strong analytical and communicative skills. You can translate user needs into practical solutions and advise and report on them.
Knowledge of information security, privacy legislation, and data management. You are proficient in Dutch and English, both spoken and written, at a C1 level.
Pay & benefits
What you'll get
At NLR, you get the space to make an impact and to develop yourself. You work in an innovative national and international high-tech environment where curiosity, collaboration, and craftsmanship are central. We believe that people perform best when they are given the freedom to take initiative, to continue developing, and to find a healthy balance between work and private life.
Furthermore, we offer you, among other things:
A gross monthly salary between € 4449.44 and € 5031.48 (based on a 40-hour work week), depending on your knowledge and experience;
45 vacation days (based on a 40-hour work week);
8% holiday allowance and a fixed year-end bonus of 8%;
The costs for traveling by public transport are fully reimbursed. Do you travel by your own transport? Then you will receive a mileage allowance for commuting;
A healthcare allowance of €145.00 gross (based on a 40-hour work week) via our collective health insurance with OHRA, as extra support for your healthcare costs;
Extra paid parental leave;
Plenty of opportunities to continue learning with education, training, coaching, and other development opportunities;
The possibility to work 32-40 hours per week including working from home.
The role
How do you ensure that technology truly makes HR work easier? That HR processes run smoothly, systems connect well, and employees can rely on a dependable digital working environment? You ensure that our HR applications not only function well but also continue to align with what the organization needs.
What you'll do
You are the connecting link between HR processes and IT. You ensure that the connections with AFAS and our HR applications (for example, Recruitee and Oracle) function properly, but you also continuously look at how the configuration can be smarter and more user-friendly. In this way, you make a difference with your knowledge and insights for the colleagues who work with these systems daily. Furthermore, you will take a leading role in establishing HR Dashboarding using Power BI, so that we can provide the managers within NLR with the right management data.
You work closely with the HR, Recruitment, and Learning & Development teams. You delve into their processes and needs and translate these into smart, practical solutions. In doing so, you deal with diverse issues from employees, managers, and director colleagues: from resetting a password and optimizing existing functionalities to realizing new possibilities within our HR applications.
Specifically, you will be involved in:
Functional administration: You manage and optimize the configuration, authorizations, and operation of HR applications and ensure reliable data exchange between systems.
Analysis and advice: You investigate user needs and bottlenecks and translate these into functional specifications and appropriate solutions.
Changes and projects: You contribute ideas for new functionalities and participate in implementations and improvement projects. You draw up test scenarios and verify whether solutions meet the stated requirements.
Quality and security: You ensure that data is processed reliably and monitor compliance with guidelines for privacy and information security.
User support: You assist users with questions and incidents and guide them through the possibilities of the applications.
What do you bring?
You get energy from solving problems and improving digital processes. You combine analytical insight with a practical attitude and easily know how to make the translation between user needs and system possibilities. You take initiative, think ahead, and enjoy collaborating with different disciplines.
Your new working environment
You will become part of a broad HR team with various expertise, from HR advice and policy to recruitment and Learning & Development. We enjoy brainstorming with each other, keeping each other sharp, and inspiring each other to move forward. There is plenty of room for your ideas, knowledge, and initiative, with an eye for one another and the collective result. Together, we work on HR services that align with the needs of the organization and contribute to our strategic ambitions.
Our HR department is rapidly evolving and is working on further professionalization and the improvement of processes and collaboration. This offers opportunities, but also asks something of you. You will join an HR department where we are working hard to improve our services. We are introducing more structure, making our processes simpler, and working more closely together. This means that not everything is yet set in stone and that there is room to think along and organize things more smartly. Your location is Amsterdam or Marknesse, but you will also regularly be at our other location for consultation and collaboration with colleagues.
