Join Strohm as Our Next Senior People Operations Specialist!


Strohm is an organization in transition — from start-up to scale-up — which means short lines of communication, lots of momentum, and plenty of opportunities to make an impact. Our culture is hands-on, energetic, and focused on growth.

In this role, you are the engine behind a scalable, data-driven and employee-centric People Operations function. You will build and continuously improve the way we support our people – from pre-boarding to payroll and from systems to insights. You act as a first point of contact for employees, managers and external partners regarding contracts, absence, leave and working hours.

As our Senior People Operations Specialist you will be part of the People & Culture team consisting of: People & Culture Director, HR Business Partners (2x), People Operations Specialist and a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist. We offer this role for 32-40 hours.

In this role, you will:

  • Responsible for the full HR administration, including onboarding, internal changes and offboarding, absence management, invoice processing, personnel changes in Cobra, and support with training requests and budget monitoring.
  • You are a hands-on administrative expert responsible for handling and resolving daily requests.
  • Build and continuously improve a scalable People Operations service model, including clear SLAs, high-quality service delivery and a strong end-to-end employee experience.
  • Drive digital self-service for employees and managers and lead the rollout and optimization of our HR system (Personio) and related integrations.
  • Continuously improve HR processes, data quality, reporting and People Analytics to support data-driven decision-making.
  • Own accurate and compliant payroll operations (NL, BR and US) in close collaboration with external providers and Finance.
  • Manage smooth and compliant pre-onboarding (contracts, legal and visa processes) and safeguard GDPR compliance across all people processes.
  • Own and further develop our rewards framework, including salary structures and job architecture.

In short: you will help transform our people’s operations from solid start-up foundations into a future-proof, scalable and impactful people platform.
