People Officer

• You are accurate. An error in a contract or file is a bigger problem for us than a missed deadline

• You are discreet and know what to share with whom, and what goes in writing and what does not

• You work independently, even with incomplete information and a shifting schedule

• You are entrepreneurial: you see something that can be done better and you start on it

• Experience in a start-up, scale-up, or agency

• You have previously worked in an HR or payroll system and can distinguish a good setup from a bad one

• You have some experience with recruitment

• Zero to two years of work experience and a completed HBO or WO degree in HRM or something similar

• €3,000 to €4,000 gross per month, depending on experience.

• You work at our Campus in the Van Nelle Fabriek in Rotterdam. An open building with lots of light and a large garden.

• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner from our own chefs using products from our own store, freshly cooked every day.

• 20% staff discount and unlimited Upfront products for personal use.

• A private gym and wellness area with ice baths, sauna, showers, and changing rooms.

• Weekly Hyrox classes and runs with the team.

• A hairdresser at the office every month.

• 24 vacation days per year.

And perhaps the most beautiful: the freedom. You decide for yourself how to approach your work. Within your field, you are the expert, and that is how we treat you. We love to give you the space to come up with and implement your own ideas.

What is real wins.

Upfront is a Dutch brand for (sports) nutrition and supplements. Our mission: to radically simplify the nutrition industry, without fine print or vague claims. We are growing approximately 250% per year, went from €21M to €70M in revenue, and are also building our own stores (Foodstores) which we are rolling out across the country.

We are looking for a People Officer for our People team: someone who ensures the daily HR operations run smoothly and flawlessly while the company continues to grow. You will work directly with Pip, our HR Manager, on everything our colleagues throughout the company need to do their jobs well: contracts, onboarding, absenteeism, and the systems supporting them.

Since November, we have grown from 40 to 85 colleagues at the Campus, and we have more than 400 people across our stores, distribution centers, and factory. That number continues to rise, and the administration underneath it must be able to keep up with that pace. You will set up processes yourself, monitor that files and registrations are correct, and identify what is missing.

• Process contracts, changes in employment status, joiners and leavers, and leave, and keep files accurate

• Build the onboarding that works for a growing group of new colleagues per month

• Be the first point of contact for practical HR questions, from the Campus to the shop floor

• Monitor absenteeism registration and the deadlines of the Wet verbetering poortwachter (Eligibility for Sickness Benefits Act)

• Improve the systems and processes you work in daily, instead of working around them

• Identify where there is friction and come with the proposal, not the problem
