Are you – or someone you know – an experienced HR consultant with a focus on corporate culture, leadership and contribution to real business value?

Vitec Software Group is a software company, founded in Sweden with headquarters in Umeå and with subsidiaries mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. Each business unit is run rather independently by a CEO. Currently, we have 8 Dutch business units, located in Rotterdam, Boxtel, Delft, Heerhugowaard, Veenendaal, Bunschoten and Leeuwarden, with between 10 and 100 employees each.

Vitec has a governance model that is characterized by decentralization, i.e. that decision-making and responsibilities lie within our business units to a large extent. We want to steer and manage the group mainly through our values and our brand promise “To rely on – today and tomorrow”, and actively avoid micromanaging. This poses a challenge for those of us who work in the group support functions; We need to be very careful when suggesting policies, processes and actions, not to intervene with the decentralization. Everything we do have to be carefully thought through so that we really create value and contribute to the development and success of the business in an efficient way.

Our group grows through acquisitions, and we have welcomed several new Dutch subsidiaries the last couple of years. To be able to fully meet the needs of the business units, we need a senior HR-consultant that can support the business units in their specific issues. This covers general HR support in all staff related matters as well as management team training, sparring and coaching etc. Another part of the assignment is to develop our supportive processes and templates, based on our values and group-common policies but adjusted to fit Dutch employment law and practice.

We are looking for an external HR consultant (not as an employee but as an external consultant on an hourly basis) who’s interested in building a long-term partnership with us. You will be part of Vitec's HR team consisting of humble and experienced people passionate about HR, currently from Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. We have regular meetings (on Teams most of the time and physically once or twice a year) to share, coordinate and reinforce the Vitec culture.

Consultant's profile

The challenge for the consultant is to quickly read and translate Vitec's culture and governance model into processes and routines that suit us and our way of governing. It is a task that requires a great deal of independence, responsiveness, and fingertip sensitivity, to know what to skip and what to include.

The person we are looking for has good knowledge in the Dutch labor market, many years of experience in broad HR roles and good coaching skills. Basic knowledge of Dutch labor law is required, to be able to provide advice in simpler cases and support in the purchase of legal assistance in more complex cases. You live and work in the Netherlands, are fluent in Dutch and can also communicate freely and professionally in English

Are you the consultant we are looking for? Register your interest in English no later than August 31st, 2025.
