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.

How you’ll have an impact:
At Bitvavo, we believe that exceptional employee experiences fuel high-performing teams and bold company growth. As a People Business Partner, you'll be the driving force behind bringing our People strategy to life—designing and delivering high-impact programs that shape every stage of the employee lifecycle. You’ll wear multiple hats: trusted advisor to leadership, coach and champion for employees, and strategic architect of culture.
You’ll play a critical role in supporting our Software Engineering teams, helping to scale our talent practices in a fast-moving, innovation-driven environment. Ideally, you've already partnered with these kinds of teams in Tech, Trading, or FinTech companies and understand the pace, mindset, and complexity that come with it.
This is an exciting opportunity for a mid-career People professional who’s ready to stretch themselves—taking on meaningful challenges, learning on the go, and stepping into greater strategic influence. You’ll be surrounded by a fast-moving, curious, and collaborative team that’s passionate about making a real impact.   How will you be successful?

• Design and execute cutting-edge People programs that inspire collaboration, fuel development, and drive performance.
• Partner with leaders across the company to guide people-related decisions that accelerate team and business growth.
• Coach employees and managers alike—unlocking potential, boosting engagement, and building trust at every level.
• Be a culture amplifier: turn our values into action through impactful training, clear communication, and initiatives that bring people together.
• Collaborate with the wider People team to continuously level up the employee experience and keep our people strategy ahead of the curve.

What you'll bring:
 You’re a people-first professional with the confidence to influence, build and shape -  and the curiosity to keep learning. You thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting and love turning ideas into programs that make a difference.

• Proven experience in turning People strategy into impactful programs (think L&D, performance, engagement—you name it).
• Strong coaching capabilities and the ability to spark growth in others.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills—you build trust quickly and influence with ease.
• A data-savvy mindset with the ability to translate insights into practical action.
• Experience partnering with Software Engineering or Technical teams, ideally within a Tech, Trading, or FinTech environment—you understand their unique dynamics and how to support their growth.
• This role is a great fit if you're a mid-career professional ready to grow beyond your comfort zone, take ownership, and build while learning.
• You have excellent communication skills and are fluent in business-level English—both written and spoken—enabling you to confidently engage with stakeholders at all levels.

What we offer: 

• Excellent employment terms, including:
• a very competitive salary;
• lunch;
• 26 days of annual leave;
• Budget for external training and courses.
