HR Manager / D&I Consultant (f/m/x) - WOMEN Inc. (32–38 hours)

WOMEN Inc. is looking for an experienced professional to take our HR strategy and policies to the next level!

About WOMEN Inc.

WOMEN Inc. is an advocacy organization with approximately 28 employees that has been accelerating women’s empowerment in the Netherlands since 2005. We strive for a society with equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender or sex. Gender inequality is most pronounced in the areas of Finance, Work, Health, and Media. To bring about change in these areas, we conduct research, campaign among the public and in the political arena, share our knowledge, and organize meetings and workshops to expand opportunities for women. We do this in collaboration with our network of partners—ranging from national to local governments, businesses, organizations, and research institutions—to make a difference at all levels of society.

Perspective on the role within the organization

Emma Lok assumed the role of Executive Director on September 1, 2023. She will lead the organization into its next phase of growth, with a strong focus on professionalizing areas such as human resources policy to support the growing organization. As an advisor to employers on inclusive employment practices (including diversity and inclusion), WOMEN Inc. also serves as a role model. For this reason, it was decided to strengthen the HR function and, for the first time, grant it an autonomous position within the management team (previously, this role fell under the Head of Operations).

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced HR manager who will evaluate, further develop, and implement our HR vision and strategy, and who will actively address issues such as diversity and inclusion, facilitating employee development (performance review cycle), and our ambition to be an inclusive employer. Does developing and implementing HR policies energize you? Are you a strong partner for our executive team, and can you effectively advise and coach managers and employees? Are you enthusiastic about our mission? If so, we look forward to receiving your application!

Furthermore, you will serve as the internal and external point of contact for all matters related to human resources. In this role, you will play a key role in identifying current issues within the organization and translating them into concrete actions and plans. For matters such as personnel administration, employee files, and other operational HR tasks, you will be supported by an administrative assistant.
