People Partner

The scope of this position covers staff of the business units Stolt Tank Containers and Stolthaven Terminals, as well as employees on the headquarter in Rotterdam. This is a highly diverse group of people with their own specific needs and requirements. The People Partner will work proactively with the line managers. They are the first point of contact for local management in all kinds of situations. They will provide advice, translate policy into practice, be easily accessible as a contact person for employees, and provide support for the business partners. The People Partner will work closely with line managers to assist with recruiting new employees. This includes advising on and coordinating the recruitment, selection, and assessment procedures, and organizing and conducting the job interviews. The People Partner will also be responsible for drawing up the final offer for candidates. The People partner will focus their full attention on the operational-substantive side of HR affairs, carefully examining the processes on which they are based. When the People Partner sees room for improvement, they will take a proactive lead to ensure that this improvement becomes embedded into the process. This may involve optimizing ways of working, better HR communication via various channels, or translating the global operations strategy into tangible, regional action points. Process optimization and digitalization are important day-to-day themes, and the People Partner will be involved in projects relating to these themes. Experience in process and digitalization projects is therefore a must for this job. The People Partner will be closely involved in all projects (most of which have a huge international scope), sometimes taking the lead. They should be able to see matters from a long-term perspective, as well as solve ad hoc problems.
