DeWarmte is a fast-growing climate tech company developing smart, affordable heat pumps to help homes transition away from gas heating. The company is scaling rapidly across the Netherlands and internationally, with plans to grow from approximately 60 to 200 employees over the coming years. As People Operations Specialist, you will build and maintain the People operations foundation for this expanding organization. You'll own a significant portion of daily HR operations, balancing immediate needs with process improvement and scalability. Key responsibilities include: **People Administration**: Manage personnel records, create and maintain employment contracts and HR documents, ensure data accuracy and accessibility, and process personnel changes correctly. **Payroll & Benefits Coordination**: Collect and verify monthly payroll changes, collaborate with the payroll administrator, and support employee and manager questions regarding salary, holiday pay, pensions, leave, and other employment terms. **Onboarding & Offboarding**: Ensure smooth integration of new employees and proper closure of departing staff, coordinating all behind-the-scenes logistics. **Process & Systems Development**: Help implement and improve HR systems and standardize processes around contracts, leave management, onboarding, and employee data as the company scales.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a scale-up environment where processes are still being built.
