In all your activities, your focus is on the joint achievement of company-wide goals. 

You will lead a team of 11 team members: a Lead HR Business Partner, 4 HR Business Partners, a Recruitment Coordinator and a Recruiter, a Support Lead and 3 Support/Payroll staff who provide support in areas such as Compensation & Benefits, Data Management and general HR support. You will report to the General Manager of Arval Netherlands (direct report) and to the Regional HR Director for BENELUX & DACH based in Germany (dotted line). You are member of the Executive Committee of Arval Netherlands.
