About you …

You thrive on finding ways to support managers whose main focus is not on management but on research and education. You can build a relationship with our (academic) managers where you develop from HR advisor to trusted HR partner.

You really want to know the faculty /or department you work for inside out. This knowledge enables you to advise department board or colleagues of HRM policy or L&D on trends or recurring issues surpassing an individual department. You balance the business approach with a warm understanding of people. Enabling you to coach management and employees in a respectful way, contributing to a smoothly running team or de-escalating complex cases. You understand HR is a balance act between the advisory role and an operational role when you ensure the processes are correctly set up. You acknowledge the importance of performing your administrative tasks correct and on time. TU/e works with AFAS Insite. You can keep your focus, decide what to prioritize and what not, keep an overview of what needs to be done, when and how. And you are a colleague that contributes to the success of our team. By sharing ideas and contributing to university-wide projects. And as a bonus we value your humor, we work hard but it is ok to also have fun working together.
