Shoparize

COMPANY Shoparize builds performance-driven comparison shopping technology across 21 European markets. Our platform processes millions of product matches connecting shoppers with the best offers and giving retailers the tools to compete at scale. We're not a startup finding product-market fit — we have it. We're a scale-up executing on a clear path to a solid FTE-plan by 2027. We offer real ownership early, a flat structure with direct access to decision-makers, and work that is commercially consequential. DESCRIPTION We're hiring an HR Manager & TA Lead to own the people function end-to-end — HR, recruitment, employer brand, and office management — inside our CFO branch. No one micromanaging the function. You set the priorities, run the processes, and deliver. Office management currently sits without a dedicated owner. In the near term you carry it. As we scale toward target structure, a dedicated Office Manager is planned — until then, this is part of the job. ROLE What you’ll own. Talent Acquisition * Full-cycle recruitment: scoping, sourcing, process, offer, onboarding * Proactive outbound via LinkedIn; external agencies for hard-to-fill or specialist roles * Manage agency relationships: briefing, quality control, fee structure, performance * Manage EOR provider relationships for employees engaged outside the Netherlands * Target: time-to-hire under 45 days — track it and manage to it Employer Brand * Own Shoparize's careers presence: LinkedIn, careers page, how we show up to candidates * Position us as a destination for commercially-minded people who want real ownership in a scaling European tech business * Define and maintain a high-quality, consistent candidate experience from first contact to offer HR Operations & Compliance * Full employee lifecycle: contracts, onboarding, changes, offboarding — compliant and clean * Dutch employment law and GDPR/AVG for people data * Payroll inputs with Finance including cross-border and EOR complexity * HR casework: sound judgement, documented outcomes HR Strategy * Advise CFO and leadership on compensation, workforce planning, org design * Meaningful HR metrics: retention, headcount cost, time-to-hire, engagement * Build the business case for a second HR hire as we scale toward a stable employee base Office Management * Day-to-day running of the Amsterdam office: facilities, supplies, vendors, access * Onboarding logistics: workspace setup, equipment, tools for new joiners * Team events and offsites — logistically owned, not delegated. What we expect.  The stakeholder environment is senior, direct, and occasionally challenging. You hold your ground — on process, on compliance, on what is and isn't the right call — with confidence and without drama. * Autonomous by default: you decide what needs doing and do it * Backbone when it counts: HR exists to make the business better, not to rubber-stamp leadership * Lean mindset: external specialists for legal/tax complexity — not empire-building * Direct: no jargon, no preamble, difficult messages delivered professionally * Commercially aware: people decisions connect to the P&L --- Your profile.  * 5+ years HR with genuine ownership of both operations and recruitment * Solid, practical knowledge of Dutch employment law * Proven direct sourcing track record (LinkedIn Recruiter) * Experience managing external agency and EOR provider relationships * Composure and confidence in senior stakeholder environments * Strong Dutch and English — both required * Scale-up background preferred (20–100 employees) * Multi-country EU employment experience a strong plus --- * Competitive base + performance bonus * Real ownership of a function that matters, with a clear path to building a small team * 25 days annual leave · ClassPass · travel reimbursement · company laptop * Hybrid: Amsterdam HQ with flexibility --- Apply via LinkedIn or reach out directly.
