I'm looking for my successor

After a year as a contractor, the foundations of HR at Boat Bike Tours are firmly in place. Now it's time for the next step: taking our HR team to the next level. You'll do this together with our HR team (1 HR Business Partner, 1 HR advisor and 1 intern). Our HR advisor is on maternity leave, so you'll need to roll up your sleeves!

Boat Bike Tours is growing, with offices in the Netherlands, Germany, the US and Croatia. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll keep HR true to our core values: ownership, openness, sustainability and customer focus, and help build an HR department that proactively drives growth and professionalisation.

What you'll be doing

  • Setting up HR structures (performance management, growth paths, feedback cycles)

  • Supporting teams across all our international locations with roles, responsibilities and development

  • Guiding change and making sure HR policy fits our international organisation

  • Owning our HR processes (recruitment, on/offboarding, learning & development) and tools (Buddee, Homerun)

  • Coordinating feedback cycles and HR data across all locations

  • Helping build an inclusive culture where people feel safe and valued

What you bring

  • At least 8 years of HR experience, preferably in a matrix organisation

  • Experience in setting up HR structures and working with international teams

  • Knowledge of HR tools (Buddee, Homerun) is a plus

  • Strategic insight combined with a practical, people-first approach

  • Excellent communication skills (Dutch and English)

  • Self-driven, collaborative and value-driven

What we offer

  • A challenging role in an international, growing organisation

  • 8% holiday allowance, pension scheme, 25 holiday days and a study budget

  • Travel allowance + bike scheme

  • One free trip with one of our tours every year

  • Great drinks and fun outings with the team

Apply for the job

We'll be holding the first interviews from October.
