People Operations Specialist

At Intelic, we build advanced software for unmanned systems in the defense sector.

Why this role exists

• Run your first onboarding sessions and made new joiners feel genuinely welcomed from day one

• You have a working familiarity with Dutch employment law and HR compliance — you know the basics of Dutch contracts, the WAB, and AVG/GDPR, and you're eager to keep learning
