Working at Mercell
At Mercell, we're on a mission to revolutionise public procurement, making it accessible and effortless for everyone involved. Imagine a world where public buyers and visionary suppliers come together seamlessly to make a great deal easier and shape the future. That's what we're all about.

With a dynamic culture built on continuous growth, trust, and collaboration, Mercell offers an environment where your talents can thrive. You will be part of an international team with ambitious and dedicated colleagues who are passionate about what they do and supported to be themselves.

Your Mission

As Mercell moves into its next phase, we are strengthening our HR team with an HR Operations Consultant to enhance and streamline HR processes in the Netherlands.

In this role, you’ll work within the HR Operations team and contribute to a wider HR function that includes recruitment and communication. Cross-functional collaboration is a natural and essential part of how we work. 

Core Responsibilities

• Manage the employee lifecycle from onboarding to offboarding across the Netherlands

• Take responsibility for maintaining accurate employee data and explore opportunities to improve efficiency through HR systems (HiBob, Oneflow).

• Respond to employee questions and concerns, assisting in confidential employee relations matters.

• Ensure compliance with labor laws and internal policies

• Monitor labor law developments and share insights with the HR team.

• Collaborate on regional HR projects and initiatives aimed at improving systems (e.g., HiBob, Oneflow), processes, compliance, and employee engagement.

Who you are

• You have experience with HR processes and supporting employees through all stages of the employee lifecycle. (If you've worked in HR operations before, that’s great, but it’s not a must.)

• You’re comfortable working with HR systems and digital tools, and you enjoy improving processes to make them more efficient and user-friendly. Experience with HiBob is a plus, but not a requirement.

• You have solid experience with Dutch labor law and understand its practical application in the workplace. (You don’t have to be an expert yet—what matters is your ability to learn and apply legal frameworks.) 

• You’re confident dealing with legal frameworks, and are eager to learn and grow your expertise across different legal systems. As Mercell continues to expand across Europe, knowledge of other European labor regulations like German and/or UK would be a valuable asset.

• You enjoy working with people across different countries and cultures, providing support and guidance to employees and managers.

• You’re proactive and curious, always looking for ways to improve things and solve problems rather than just following set processes.

• You pay attention to details and like things to be well-structured, but you also know how to adapt when things change.

• You communicate clearly and confidently, helping employees and managers understand HR topics in a simple, practical way.
