People Business Partner Lead (a.i)

As our People Business Partner Lead (a.i.), you will step into a pivotal leadership role to cover a maternity leave during an exciting phase of Fastned's European growth. You will lead our international People Business Partner team, act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, and help us strengthen our organizational foundations, always balancing business goals with the well-being and growth of our people.

This is an interim role, but your impact will be lasting. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, bring structure and clarity where needed, and leave the team and the business in a stronger place.

You will lead a team of 4 experienced PBPs based across 4 European markets (the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and Germany). Your job? To clear blockers, set the direction, and give your team the autonomy to own their work. Alongside team leadership, you will act as the dedicated PBP for our Dutch Pipeline teams (Location Design, Network Development & Construction Management) and our Operations & People departments, working closely with our Dutch Country Director to tackle challenges on the ground. You lead by example, which may include occasional travel to our other European offices.

This role reports directly to the People Director and sits at the center of our People Leadership team, alongside the Head of TA.
