Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You are people-oriented and business-minded: you build trust, communicate clearly, and dare to set boundaries where necessary

  • You have experience coaching and advising managers on diverse HR issues

  • You have a good foundational knowledge of labor law, absenteeism management, and HR compliance, and know when to dive deeper or escalate

  • You maintain an overview in a dynamic environment and quickly arrive at practical solutions

  • Two to five years of experience as an HR Business Partner, HR Advisor, People Partner, or similar, with a completed HBO or WO degree

Nice to have

  • Experience in retail, production, hospitality, or logistics, with many part-timers and varying schedules

  • You have previously built HR policy from scratch instead of just executing existing policy

  • Driver's license and car for visiting our locations

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • €4,000 to €5,000 gross per month, depending on experience.

  • 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.

The role

Some weeks you will work on a strategic project from A to Z: the annual review cycle, a new onboarding program for managers, or HR policies that still need to be written. Other weeks you will be sitting at a table with a team leader about something that just happened, from a difficult conversation to an absenteeism case. We are looking for someone who performs both types of work with the same sharpness: the project you lead yourself and the case that calls upon you.

What you'll do

  • Coach and advise managers on their HR issues, from development and collaboration to performance

  • Take ownership of strategic People projects such as the performance cycle, leadership onboarding, and new HR policies, from idea to execution

  • Identify trends on the shop floor and translate them into improvements in process, culture, or policy

  • Handle casework carefully: from absenteeism to sensitive situations, with an accurate file

  • Work closely with Pip and the MT to keep our People approach aligned

  • Ensure our HR systems and files are up-to-date and reliable

How you'll work

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

In their own words

About the company & team

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 Business Partner for our People team. You will be the sparring partner for managers at the Campus, in the stores, the distribution center, and the factory: you translate the challenges they face into concrete HR solutions, and together with Pip, our HR Manager, you build the programs and policies that underpin them.

Since November, we have grown from 40 to 85 colleagues at the Campus, and with our stores, distribution centers, and factory, we have more than 400 people. Our managers often grow faster than they can gain experience: someone who was working in the store themselves last year is now leading a team. You help determine how well they succeed in that, and you are given the space to decide for yourself what is needed to achieve that.
