What’s the job all about? 

As an HR Advisor, you’ll play a key role in delivering both operational excellence and expert HR guidance across the organization.

From managing complex employee relations cases to driving continuous improvement in HR operations, you’ll contribute directly to a well-functioning, high-performing organization. 

With a strong understanding of HR processes and local legislation, you’ll act as a reliable point of contact for both managers and colleagues, helping to navigate challenges, improve processes, and enhance the overall employee experience.

Payroll Coordination: Act as the main contact for payroll providers. Coordinate and validate monthly inputs, including contract changes, leave, and absence. Ensure timely and accurate payroll processing together with Finance. 

Absence & Attendance Management: Support managers with absence cases, including long-term sickness. Monitor attendance and time tracking in line with policies and local regulations. 

Policy & Compliance: Ensure consistent application of HR policies. Monitor local legislation and update processes and documentation where needed. 

Stakeholder Support: Partner with (international) HR Business Partners and managers. Provide practical HR advice, insights, and support on people-related topics. 

Vendor Management: Manage relationships with external HR vendors. Ensure efficient and high-quality service delivery. 

HR Programs & Implementation: Support the rollout of local and regional HR initiatives. Ensure clear communication and smooth execution. 

Escalation & Knowledge Sharing: Act as an escalation point for complex HR topics. Share knowledge within the team and support colleagues where needed. 

Who are we looking for? 

We’re looking for an experienced HR professional who combines strong operational expertise with confident advisory skills. You’re comfortable working in a dynamic environment and know how to balance hands-on execution with stakeholder management. 

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:
