People operations & payroll (Parental leave cover)
Not every 10-month gig lets you get deep insight into day-to-day operations. This one does. At Quinyx, we hand you real responsibility, and then trust you to make it better than you found it. If you've ever reorganised something that wasn't yours, just because it made you feel good, keep reading.
🎯 About the role
We’re looking for someone to take on People Operations and Payroll at Quinyx, we’re building towards an organisation where people operations run so smoothly that employees rarely need to ask questions, and you’ll be a key part of making that happen.
This is a hands-on role with a lot of freedom and real responsibility from day one. You’ll own and continuously improve our people processes, from payroll and visa administration to expenses and onboarding, all within a structured framework.
We’re not necessarily looking for years of experience. If you’re a recent graduate or early in your career and you have the right mindset, this could be a fantastic opportunity to grow within People Ops.
The role covers parental leave from August 2026 through the end of May 2027. You’ll be the go-to person for people operations in our Amsterdam office (Fred. Roeskestraat 95–97, 1076 EC Amsterdam.), working full days between Monday to Thursday.
📝 What you’ll do
Own day-to-day people operations: onboarding, offboarding,preparing various HR documentation (employee agreements, letters, certificates, etc.) and everything in between.
Run and improve payroll processes in the Netherlands, Germany, USA and the UK, making sure everything is accurate and on time.
Support visa and immigration administration, particularly Sweden. Review and process employee expenses.
Maintain and develop workflows in HiBob to make self-service the default.

Basic knowledge of employment law (Netherlands, Germany, US & UK).
Experience with visa or immigration processes.
Familiarity with HiBob or similar HRIS platforms.
💡 Desired personality traits
Regardless of background, it will always be the person that matters. For this role we believe you are:
Structured and meticulous, you bring order to complexity and nothing slips through the cracks.
Proactive and self-sufficient, you take ownership, find answers, and don’t need hand-holding.
A massive doer, you get things done, period.
A natural optimizer. You don’t just make things work, you obsess over making them work better.
Dedicated to quality, “good enough” isn’t in your vocabulary.
