People Business Partner

Are you an experienced People Business Partner eager to contribute to our mission? Discover how you can make a difference at Vandebron!

Who We Are

At Vandebron, we're transforming the energy landscape, steering away from the conventional to champion sustainability. Born in 2014, our journey began with Chapter 1, disrupting the market with a transparent platform connecting consumers directly to local, green energy producers. Now, in Chapter 2, we are dedicated to ensuring 100% green energy availability, 100% of the time. Think smart solutions — flexible use of wind and solar farms, Smart EV Charging, and efficient energy storage.

No waiting around, we actively shape a sustainable future. Good energy, smart solutions — that's Vandebron.

Your Impact

Just like the energy market, Vandebron is constantly in transition. Within Vandebron, People & Culture plays a pivotal role, as our employees are our most valuable asset in achieving our mission. As People & Culture we strive to build engaged and high-performing teams aligned with our company strategy and values. In the role of People Business Partner, you will be the strategic and tactical advisor for managers of multiple teams in Tech, Data and Operations (around 150 employees). You will support and guide the managers in maintaining and building engaged, high-performing teams, helping Vandebron achieve its mission.

You will be responsible for managing various projects end-to-end, based on team and business needs. With a forward-thinking approach and a strong sense of responsibility, you will help drive Vandebron forward, aligning today's actions with future goals. Your role will involve both "running the business" (such as managing absenteeism and performance management) and "changing the business" by autonomously initiating and implementing projects that are essential for future success.

As a People Business Partner, you are the key link between the People & Culture team and the business, ensuring the right connection on both sides to build successful teams. Our People & Culture team consist of Recruitment, HR Operations, Learning & Development, Business Partners, and Office & Events.

What You Will Do

• Understand the business deeply and implement people solutions that meet both long-term and short-term needs.

• Provide a constructive and critical view on quality, effectively guiding managers in building high-performing teams.

• Translate internal and external HR developments and trends into People & Culture policies and processes, where you proactively identify and implement improvements.

• Autonomously manage and execute various projects, such cultural values & behavior, performance management and engagement. Where you align with the other People Business Partner and divide, tackle and implement projects together.

• Uphold Vandebron's cultural values and way of working by acting as a gatekeeper, challenging others, and leading by example.
