Your profile

You are an experienced HR professional, ideally with a background in the legal sector or another professional services environment. You move effortlessly between strategic priorities and operational challenges and have a strong ability to understand what an organisation needs. You identify opportunities, think ahead, and take initiative to drive improvements and new ideas.

You enjoy bringing structure to a dynamic environment. At the same time, you are comfortable operating within an organisation where processes and procedures are already in place, while recognising opportunities to challenge, improve, and further professionalise them. You are pragmatic, hands-on, and capable of turning ideas into tangible results.

• You have relevant experience as an HR Manager, HR Business Partner, or in a similar role.
• You have experience within a law firm, professional services organisation, or a comparable knowledge-driven environment.
• You have experience developing and managing evaluation, feedback, and professional development processes.
• You combine strategic thinking with a pragmatic, hands-on approach.
• You are a strong advisor and trusted business partner.
• You communicate confidently and professionally, both verbally and in writing, in Dutch and French.
• You are willing to be regularly present in both our Antwerp and Brussels offices.
• Discretion, maturity, and a strong sense of responsibility come naturally to you.

What we offer

We offer a challenging and varied role within an ambitious law firm where quality, collaboration, and entrepreneurship are at the core of everything we do. We are looking for a long-term collaboration, either as an employee or on a self-employed basis.

You will have the opportunity to help shape the future development of our organisation and work closely with the partners. This is an opportunity to further develop and strengthen HR within a professional, people-focused environment.
