As Country People Lead for BeNeLux & UK, you’ll take the lead on Vinted’s People strategy in the Netherlands—our largest presence in the region—while also supporting operations in the UK, and maintaining oversight of smaller employee populations in Belgium and Luxembourg.

You’ll be based in Amsterdam, with Vinted’s hybrid working model in place. However, due to the hands-on nature of this role—supporting the local team, collaborating cross-functionally, and engaging with stakeholders—it is essential that you maintain a consistent presence in the office shared with the team.

You will be responsible for delivering a locally relevant and globally aligned People experience, while partnering closely with local business leaders, People Business Partners, and cross-functional teams. This role is ideal for a pragmatic, strategic thinker with deep knowledge of Dutch labour law and the ability to advise on complex employee topics in an evolving environment.

You’ll lead a team comprising one direct report, with a dotted-line relationship to the Hub Manager to support seamless collaboration on all site-related People initiatives. From Works Council engagement in the Netherlands to employee experience in the UK, you’ll guide and execute impactful, compliant, and forward-looking people practices.
