HR Partner

About Alpine

Alpine is the place to grow your HR career while helping build a brand that genuinely puts people first. We are growing rapidly, and on a mission to become the global leader in hearing protection with a strong commitment to sustainability, highlighted by our B-Corp certification. Our purpose is clear: to protect as many people as possible from unnecessary hearing damage, so they can enjoy sound for a lifetime. In a world that’s getting louder, harmful noise threatens the health of over 1 billion people, and we’re here to change that. Behind it all is a proud, ambitious and slightly loud team, and keeping that team healthy, happy, growing and developing is exactly what this role is about.

About the role

This is a hands-on role. As our HR Partner, you own the full breadth of HR, from finding and hiring great people, managing individual cases and employee relations, driving performance and development cycles, guiding absence and reintegration, through to keeping our team healthy, growing and motivated. You'll be doing this for a fast-growing team of 80+ people from more than 10 nationalities, as we continue to professionalize, grow internationally and develop towards a team of 150+ in the years ahead.

Based at our Global Head Office in Utrecht, you're the go-to for employees and managers alike, and the person who keeps our HR year running like clockwork. You understand Dutch employment law and can draft HR documents independently. You're part of a close HR team, reporting to the Head of People and working closely with our HR Officer. And because our HR function is in full development, there's real room to build, improve and grow along with us.

The team

You'll join a compact, three-person People team. Our Head of People leads on strategy, organizational development, leadership, reward and HR policy. Our HR Officer keeps HR administration, contracts, HR systems and payroll running smoothly. As HR Partner, you're the tactical and operational heart in between: the go-to for recruitment, individual casework and employee relations, the performance and development cycle, and the HR calendar. And automating our processes and putting AI to work? That's something we take on together, as a team.

What you'll do

• Own recruitment end to end, from open vacancy to a confident 'yes' and a smooth onboarding

• Advise and support employees on individual cases, everything from policy questions to sensitive conversations

• Drive and coordinate the performance and development cycle

• Guide employees and managers through absence and reintegration

• Be a trusted sparring partner for managers on a wide range of people questions

• Lead operational HR projects that move the organization forward

• Help us automate our HR processes and tap into the possibilities of AI, with plenty of freedom to experiment with new tools yourself

Why you'll love it

• A truly hands-on role, with our HR function in full development, real space to shape it and grow your own career alongside it

• Real ownership of the full HR operation from day one

• This role isn't static. As Alpine keeps growing, so does the room to specialize and take on more.

• A close-knit HR team inside a fast-growing, international B Corp

• A workplace where impact, innovation and fun genuinely go hand in hand

What you'll get

• A competitive salary of €3,500–€4,000 gross per month (based on a full-time contract, excluding holiday allowance and pension), depending on your experience

• Training budget and access to GoodHabitz for continuous learning

• A hybrid working setup, including a work-from-home budget

• A solid pension scheme

• Company workouts and lunch twice a week at the office

• Legendary team events, including annual trips and Christmas celebrations

• Access to global events and festivals where Alpine is present - with free tickets!

Who you are

• An HBO or WO degree in HR/Personell Management

• At least 3 years of hands-on HR experience spanning recruitment, employee relations, performance management, and casework – not purely recruitment-focused experience

• A proactive go-getter who takes initiative and ownership

• Enthusiastic and approachable, people enjoy working with you

• Hands-on and able to switch between operations and sharp, strategic advice

• Discreet with confidential matters, structured and organized with the rest

• Fluent in both Dutch and English, written and spoken (minimum B2 level)

Life at Alpine

You'll join a purpose-driven, international environment in the booming hearing protection market. A professional scale-up vibe with a passionate, young and motivated team, where innovation, impact and fun go hand in hand. We're B Corp certified and deeply committed to people and planet. Your ideas are heard, and your work truly matters.
