HR Operations Manager

Our people come first at NavInfo Europe. We are looking for a proactive, and hands-on HR Operations Manager who owns HR end-to-end in an international, informal, and high-tech environment.

This is a standalone HR role. You do the strategy and the execution: one moment you advise the General Manager on a sensitive case, the next you coordinate payroll input or draft a contract. You bring structure, accuracy, and oversight, and you are comfortable keeping HR running on your own, with support from our office manager and external payroll/tax advisors where it counts.

Why join NavInfo Europe

At NavInfo Europe (NIE), based in the innovative Brainport Eindhoven region, we pioneer automotive cybersecurity, AI-driven data compliance, and advanced navigation solutions. As part of NavInfo's global ambition to become the digital brain behind intelligent driving, our European team specializes in:

• Cybersecurity services — reverse engineering, vulnerability discovery, and security tooling.

• AI and compliance — cutting-edge anonymization methods, GDPR compliance, and smart data curation.

• Navigation data innovation — precision mapping and data-driven mobility insights.

We continuously evolve our services, striving for faster delivery, higher quality, and innovative security standards that directly impact global mobility.

Why we are looking for you

Our current HR Operations Manager leaves the organization per 1 September 2026. This is the long-term HR role for NavInfo Europe/Mapscape/SEEWAY.AI, so an earlier start is a plus. In the meantime, a temporary solution will be in place to provide a proper handover.

As the responsible HR manager, you will report to the General Manager and work closely with Finance, Office Management, IT, Quality, and external advisors such as international payroll, pension and tax advisors. Short lines, real ownership, clear communication.

What you will do

You own the full HR cycle for the organization:

• Payroll & HR administration — coordinate monthly payroll input with Finance and external advisors (four-eyes principle); process contract, hours and role changes; keep personnel files accurate and GDPR-compliant in Exact Synergy.

• Agreements & requests— draft, review and manage employment contracts, letters and other HR requests.

• Recruitment — own the recruitment process end-to-end as facilitator: align with hiring managers on the brief, manage agency contacts, run the funnel in Recruitee, conduct the HR interview, and prepare the job offer.

• Employee lifecycle — attracting, hiring, onboarding, developing, retaining, and offboarding.

• International & compliance — support visa/IND, relocation and 30% ruling follow-up; coordinate sickness absence and reintegration with managers, Arbo service provider and case managers; support audits and updating the QMS.

• Advice & insight — advise managers on employee relations, absence, performance and organizational topics; deliver HR reports (headcount, absence, turnover, payroll cost) and improve HR processes and templates.

• Cross-functional partnership — deliver HR reporting and ad-hoc analysis (headcount, absence, turnover, employee costs, project/WBSO admin) for Finance, business teams and management, in line with the company reporting and financial calendar; keep HR processes and systems plugged into wider company workflows; own the HR scope in cross-functional and change initiatives.

The office manager supports operational tasks regarding onboarding logistics, offboarding checklists, visa document collection, relocation, and badge management, etc. — with your instructions, templates, and final HR checks, this can grow. Ownership stays with you.
