Job description

We're looking for an HR / Office Coordinator who is the steady, warm presence across our studios in Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam.

United Playgrounds is a group of entrepreneurial agencies connected by a shared DNA: ambition, curiosity, and commitment. Together, we help brands find new directions. With sharp boutique-level expertise, strengthened by the scale and synergy of a group, we take brands where others don't dare to go.

Verve is a strategic branding studio working with scale-ups, market leaders, and established names in tech, retail, B2B, and consumer markets — all at a turning point in their business. 100procent is the authority in marketing automation, with decades of experience and direct access to experts in strategy, data, customer experience, and marketing technology.

We're looking for an HR / Office Coordinator who is the steady, warm presence across our studios in Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam. Someone who moves between operational precision and human care, and who genuinely enjoys making people feel at home.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll split your week across three locations: two days at 100procent in Rotterdam, and three days across Verve's studios in The Hague and Amsterdam (typically two days in The Hague, one in Amsterdam). You know best when you're needed where — and you act on it.

HR support – Managing personnel files, drafting employment contracts, and acting as the first point of contact for our colleagues. Warm, personal, and always with an eye for the human side of things.
On & offboarding – Making sure new colleagues feel at home from day one — with the right tools, the right welcome, and a smooth start.
Recruitment – Writing job postings that reach the right people, managing incoming applications, and scheduling interviews. You quickly see whether someone not only has the right skills, but also fits our culture.
Absence management – Keeping a close eye on sick leave. Supporting managers and employees through the process, liaising with the occupational health service where needed, and always making sure there's a genuine “get well soon” that feels like it means something.
Office management – Managing supplies, supplier contacts, and making sure our studios always look the way they should — ready, welcoming, and considered.
Culture keeper – Helping to organise team outings and contributing to a great atmosphere across all three locations.

About You

You have relevant experience (or strong affinity) with HR and office management, preferably in the creative sector.
You're flexible and mobile — travelling between Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam feels like a welcome change of scenery, not a burden.
You're proactive: when something needs to happen, you're already on it.
You communicate fluently in Dutch and English.
You have a sharp eye for detail, but never lose sight of the human element.

What working here feels like

We're intentional about the work we take on, and the way we work together. We choose depth over noise, clarity over cleverness, and momentum over perfectionism.

We believe people do their best work when they're energised, trusted, and supported. You won't just be managing processes — you'll be shaping how it feels to work here.

You’ll be part of the HR‑UP team: HR professionals spread across the different agencies, who meet every two weeks and are always ready to step in when something urgent comes up.

We offer

A challenging role at two leading agencies (Verve & 100procent), each with their own distinct identity, and a lot of room to make this role your own.

Space to grow

Personal growth budget, Lunch & Learn sessions, an annual book budget, industry events and conferences, and unlimited access to learning materials.

A grounded, calm environment

We shout healthy(ish) lunches every day at both studios, give you the requisite Verve swag bag, a museum card, NS card, and a culture that protects focus.

Freedom within structure

Work from the studio at least three days a week. Spend up to six weeks a year working from anywhere in the world.

A Team That Shows Up For Each Other

We maintain studio gezelligheid through team trips, shared wins, and semi-regular drinks when our team members (or clients) hit major milestones.

Compensation

A salary in line with your profile and experience, starting from €3,000 (40 hours gross).
