People and Culture Specialist
At 7people we're looking for a creative People and Culture Specialist to join our team.
This is perfect role for you if you get excited by the idea of working for a variety of start-ups and scale-ups.
You will help them to grow and professionalise, by providing solid HR advise on a range of topics, and by being their go-to people person.
We are 7people, the People and Culture team helping organizations to become irresistible. We help start-ups and scale-ups with growing or improving their company, by proving advise and support on all aspects of their HR Strategy and the employee journey. We work with a number of great companies and we keep being asked for more... :). This is why we are looking for an additional team member.
As People and Culture Specialist you will help our clients with all their people processes. From onboarding to off-boarding and everything in between, you get to cover the full employee lifecycle.
You will be involved analysing the priorities of our client at the start of each assignment, and defining the action plan and next steps.
Then you will execute the plan, which can include setting up training, creating guidelines and templates as well as the day-to-day implementation of (new) HR processes.
For some clients you will work as interim HR generalist / interim People Operations specialist. This can be to cover for someone on leave, or until we have helped them fill those positions on a more permanent basis.
You will work projects on topics such as: HR Tooling, employee engagement, compensation and benefits, career levels, salary frameworks, performance, growth, etc.
You might be asked with (re)defining company values, improving culture, create and deliver training, support on employee cases, making things more efficient and fun!
You'll also provide advice on how to best do onboarding and offboarding, select and implement new benefits and improve people operations.
Implementing a new ATS or HRIS can also be part of a project, especially when the company doesn't have these in place yet.
Any HR topic which might come up, you'll jump onto and help them do it the best way possible.
You work with founders, managers and HR colleagues at these clients. No assignment is the same!
It's the broadest HR role possible, and a huge learning opportunity if you are interested in all aspects of this field.
