About Bitvavo
In 2018, Bitvavo launched the first version of its digital assets trading platform, to bridge the gap between traditional currencies and digital assets. By offering transparent fees, a wide range of assets and an easy to use platform, Bitvavo is making the currency of the future accessible for everyone.
In two years' time, Bitvavo has established itself as the market leader in the Netherlands and one of the largest in Europe, with over one million users exchanging tens of billions of digital assets a year.
Our team, located in Amsterdam, is looking for self-driven, talented people who can help make digital assets available for everyone.
What is the role about?
At Bitvavo, we believe that exceptional employee experiences fuel high-performing teams and bold company growth. As a People Operations Associate, you’ll help lay the foundation for a seamless and scalable employee experience, supporting the core processes that keep our people operations running smoothly and effectively.
In this role, you’ll be a key partner in delivering high-quality support across the employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between. You’ll respond to employee queries with care and precision, manage day-to-day HR administration, and contribute to cross-functional People projects that drive operational excellence.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their career who’s eager to learn, grow, and build deep expertise in People Operations. You’ll be joining a collaborative, fast-moving team where curiosity, ownership, and attention to detail are celebrated—and where every day is a chance to make a real impact.
How will you make an impact?
- Support the handling of HR queries related to employee lifecycle (pre-onboarding, contracts, benefits, visa, leaves, data changes, etc.), working towards prompt resolution in line with defined SLAs
- Collaborate with other members in the People Team to execute cyclical HR processes and services with a focus on employee experience and data integrity
- Assist in facilitating a seamless onboarding process for new hires, ensuring they receive all necessary resources and information
- Work closely with members of the People Team (People Business Partner/Advisor, Talent Acquisition) to resolve queries and escalate when necessary
- Support the maintenance of core HR processes and help communicate these to stakeholders and employees
- Assist with data accuracy maintenance and support monthly reporting to People Business Partners
- Contribute to various program pillars based on interest and development goals (Performance and reward, culture, L&D, process optimisation, organisational design)
How will you be successful?
You’re naturally collaborative, curious, and energised by helping others thrive. You bring a positive, can-do attitude to everything you do and genuinely care about creating a great experience for your colleagues. Whether you’re solving a problem, answering a question, or improving a process, you understand that every detail matters—and every contribution makes a difference.
In addition, you will bring the following skills and experience:
- 1-3 years of experience in HR or People Operations, ideally in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and preferably in a tech or scale-up setting
- Sound knowledge of Dutch Employment Law and affinity with administration, process management and employee lifecycle processes
- Expert prioritisation skills and strong problem-solving abilities; you can easily handle multiple tasks at the same time while maintaining a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills and strong interpersonal abilities
- Experience with HRIS systems (such as Personio), EOR services, or ticketing systems (such as Zendesk) would be advantageous, as would experience in regulatory/fintech industry, international environments, or with creating policies and procedures
So if you're someone who rolls up your sleeves, stays calm under pressure, and keeps things moving even when the pace picks up, don’t hesitate to apply—your next big step might be with us!
