This is not a “sit back and maintain” HR role. This is for someone who loves being in a fast-moving environment where ideas turn into action - quickly. In this People Business Partner role, you’ll work closely with managers, build structures where needed and directly see the impact of your work across the company. You’ll be the face of HR for our teams - the go-to person for managers, supporting them, challenging them and helping them build strong, high-performing teams.

Whether you’ve been an HR coach, admin, advisor or junior HRBP, if you’re ready for that next step where you can really make an impact, this might be your moment. If you’ve worked in a startup or scale-up (or are excited to), and you’re ready for a role where you can truly make a difference, keep reading!

Join a high performing team and make an impact!

At Virtuagym, we’re on a mission to make the world healthier and happier, and that starts with our people. We're a passionate, driven team with a strong focus on growth and delivering outstanding results. We cultivate a high-performance culture built on dedication, ownership and driving excellence. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, taking ownership and helping teams perform at their best, this could be the perfect role for you. As a scale-up, not everything is fully defined yet, which means you will have the opportunity to help shape and improve our people practices while we continue to grow.

We have a beautiful office in the center of Amsterdam. While we support flexible working, we follow a hybrid way of working, where many of us work partly from home and partly from the office. For this role, we expect you to be present in the office around two days per week to stay closely connected with the teams. At the same time, we love bringing our teams together by organizing company events and team activities where we exchange ideas, build friendships and celebrate successes.

What this HRBP role looks like
You’ll work closely with managers across the organization, supporting them in building strong, high-performing teams and acting as a trusted partner on all people topics.

In this role, you translate people strategy into practical processes, set up frameworks and structure HR initiatives that scale with the business. You’ll drive projects from idea to impact, implement development paths, and continuously improve HR operations.

You’ll collaborate closely with our Head of People & Culture and experiment with AI and modern tools to make our work smarter and more efficient.

Perfect for someone who enjoys ownership and seeing their ideas come to life in a fast-growing environment.


Some of your key tasks as People Business Partner
You’ll be the go-to person when it comes to all things people. Think:

• Translate people strategy into practical processes and ways of working

• Partner with managers to build strong, engaged and high-performing teams

• Implement and shape learning & development paths across the company

• Take ownership of HR projects, from idea to real impact

• Use data and insights to improve engagement, performance and retention

• Continuously improve and scale HR operations

• Explore and implement smart HR tech and AI to scale our impact

What you will bring to the People Team

• 2–5 years of experience in HR (coach, admin, advisor or junior HRBP)

• Fluent in Dutch (must-have).

• Experience supporting managers on performance, engagement, and development

• You thrive in a fast-paced startup/scale-up environment

• You love ownership: your ideas don’t stay ideas, you bring them to life

• Curiosity about AI and modern HR tools that help improve and scale HR processes.

• Solid knowledge of Dutch labour law and HR practices

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills

Important note: please do apply if you meet 70%+ of the criteria. At Virtuagym we hire great people, not just resumes. If you can't check off a few requirements but are a fast learner, we’d love to hear from you!
