HR Generalist (Dutch Speaking)

Who we are

Our goal at OpenUp is to make mental well-being accessible to everyone. We support companies, their employees, and employees' families with mental well-being. 
Our OpenUp platform provides employees and their families access to mental well-being check-ins, online courses, articles, videos, interactive group sessions, mindfulness sessions, and a team of experienced experts. We believe that physical and mental well-being go hand in hand, and that lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, and stress management are key to achieving balance. By integrating our Lifestyle Experts to the platform with a focus on nutrition, exercise and sleep, we ensure a holistic approach to health. We strive to build high-performing teams that help people develop to their fullest potential. We take pride in raising the bar and achieving the next level.

OpenUp is ranked number 3 on LinkedIn’s Top Startups list for 2024 and is rapidly growing. We are expanding our international teams and we are searching for like-minded talent. We are already helping over 1500+ (international) companies and 400K+ employees, e.g. Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, KPMG, and McDonalds.

About the role 

As an HR Generalist, your primary responsibility is to bring our mission of making mental well-being accessible to life by shaping a people experience that feels seamless, empowering, and human. With approximately 4 years of HR experience, you understand the power of technology and great operations and how they impact culture. You’re not just process-savvy —you’re someone who thrives on turning complexity into clarity and believes in the magic of well-run systems. You’re customer-obsessed, action-oriented, and ready to leave things better than you found them.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Running and continuously evolving our core HR operations—from onboarding to offboarding, absence management to HR administration—always with an eye on optimization, automation, and employee experience.
• Championing legal compliance by embedding it seamlessly into our processes, ensuring we stay both efficient and protected.
• Acting as the go-to person —answering questions, navigating challenges, and offering support across the employee journey, with empathy and clarity.
• Partnering with leaders across departments to bring HR processes to life in ways that support business outcomes and team well-being.
• Owning and delivering key initiatives from our HR roadmap—whether it's launching an engagement program, piloting a new recognition initiative, or supporting performance development efforts.

About you

You’re an organized, proactive HR professional with a passion for supporting people and building strong, compliant processes. You thrive in dynamic environments and are excited about using your HR expertise to make a meaningful impact. We're looking for someone who brings the following:

• Knowledge and experience working with Dutch labor law; professional Dutch language skills are a must
• Detail-oriented, extremely organized, and customer-focused
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Versatile and hands-on, able to manage both tactical and operational HR tasks with a can-do mentality
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with strong prioritization skills
• Passionate about identifying inefficiencies and continuously improving HR processes for a better employee experience
• Genuine interest in developing knowledge around mental well-being—both personally and within an organization
• Solid understanding of HR best practices
• Passionate about technology and innovation, and how emerging tech will shape the future of HR
• Curious and informed about the use of AI in HR, and excited to explore its potential to improve processes and decision-making
• Experience in an international HR setting is a plus
• Affinity for HR data and insights, and an ability to translate numbers into actionable improvements
• Familiarity or hands-on experience with HiBob is a plus
• German language skills and knowledge of German labor law are also a plus

What you can expect 

Joining OpenUp means being part of a fast-growing company that's doing something meaningful. You'll work with a diverse and international team. We like to have fun together with a lot of team building activities like our weekly ‘borrels’ and after work sport classes, the yearly ski-trip and our Padel tournament. Which makes our work fun, challenging and dynamic. Apart from this, we offer: 

• Yearly development budget of €1500.
• Company wide training programs.
• Daily healthy and vegetarian lunch at our office.
• Flexible work model (hybrid and options for remote work).
