At Marktlink, we work alongside entrepreneurs during some of the most important moments of their lives: selling or growing their
business. As our organization continues to grow internationally, our people and HR processes play an increasingly important role
in supporting that growth.
Your goal is simple: deliver reliable, high-quality HR operations that enable our teams to perform at their best. You ensure that
HR administration, payroll input and employee lifecycle processes run smoothly across multiple countries. By maintaining accurate
data, improving processes and supporting colleagues, you help build a scalable and future-ready HR organization.
At Marktlink, you are not just executing tasks, you take ownership. You proactively identify improvements, challenge the status
quo and continuously look for smarter ways to support our growing international teams.
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.

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.
