Sound good so far? Here’s what you’ll need to succeed
You have a trusting, pragmatic personality, and you know how to really listen. This will enable you to build successful stakeholder relationships and challenge the opinions of your colleagues in a respectful way.

Excellent problem solving/judgment skills and high level of attention to detail and accuracy. You want to locate potential challenges yourself, and you are able to prioritise and balance both soft and hard HR-tasks. After all, you have plenty of opportunities to support the employees who create our world of sound.

Excellent communication skills both written and spoken

As an international organisation with colleagues in over 50 different countries, our official company language is English. It’s essential that you can communicate effortlessly with your colleagues, no matter where they are. As the UK market is your largest, you will need to be able to communicate in English on a business level. Knowledge of the Benelux markets is an advantage.

Extensive HR operational experience in an IT, technology, or telecoms environment

This role is almost as complex as the technology behind our high-quality products. As such, your HR experience should include both managing several tasks and projects simultaneously, working with external partners as well as with HR in an operational role within an international company.

You know your way around UK employment law

And you possess solid HR experience working in the UK.
