Senior People Operations Specialist

Are you prepared to fuel the growth of an exciting scale-up that's transforming the logistics industry? Do you want to combine a hands-on and strategic HR role and shape the foundations of our HR vision? If so, we might have the perfect opportunity for you!

Peripass is a logistics SaaS scale-up founded in 2016. Our Yard Management Software enables industrial and logistics companies (think of companies like Bridgestone, Alpro, and Saint-Gobain) to smoothly manage the complete flow of trailers rolling on and off their sites, as well as all trailer movements on-site.

We’re riding an incredible wave of growth, with sales skyrocketing and our company expanding faster than ever. Our mission? To revolutionize logistics through digitization and automation, and we’re just getting started. With €7.5 million in funding secured, we’re scaling globally and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Publications like De Tijd or Tech.eu have taken notice, and we secured the #20 spot in the Deloitte Fast 50 by growing 646%! We’re building on strong momentum, driven by ambition and a clear vision for the future. Ready to be part of what’s next?

As a passionate and proactive Senior People Operations Specialist, you'll join our team as our first dedicated colleague for all hard HR tasks. In this role, you’ll combine operational work with strategic projects. You'll be in the driver's seat to shape the foundations of our HR vision, contributing directly to the foundation of a strong HR vision. Some of the key responsibilities:
