• Act as a thought partner to the team and management, contributing to best practices and internal process improvements

What You Bring

• A Master's degree in Dutch Employment Law or an HBO Rechten degree from a Dutch university of applied sciences
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in Dutch employment law, ideally in a client-facing or international setting
