Are you a human resources professional who enjoys supporting people and organizations in an international environment?

In this HR Manager role, you will be responsible for managing HR operations and overseeing the operational implementation of HR policy in the various countries where Kappa Data operates. You combine in-depth knowledge of human resources with a pragmatic, people-centered approach, and you are a trusted, approachable, and committed HR partner to employees and managers alike.

From our headquarters in De Pinte (Belgium) and our offices in the Netherlands (Utrecht), France (Lille, Lyon, Toulouse, Nantes), and Poland, we work every day to drive our organization’s growth alongside more than 100 employees.

In a world where data is growing exponentially and everything is connected, we offer smart, secure, and user-friendly solutions.
