· You can identify problems/issues in the dialogue with the Employee Representation Bodies and trade unions at an early stage. You can identify important information, establish links between different pieces of information and consider possible actions.

Legal knowledge of the Law on Enterprise Councils is a plus, but more importantly we are looking for someone with extensive experience in stakeholder management, someone who is able to build a relationship of trust with the relevant parties. In this role you do not necessarily have an active negotiating position yourself, but you support the relevant ING director in the conversations and negotiations with the Employee Representation Bodies. Your role is not the spotlight but rather behind the curtains, guiding your Director, the participation process and ING. You work, as the saying goes, "like Haarlem oil", to ensure that obstacles and hurdles in the participation process are solved or removed in time. Behind the scenes, you confer, advise, make connections and tie up loose ends so that a topic or action point can be taken up again in the ongoing dialogue. You provide your Director with all necessary details by consulting with ING specialists. You are constantly navigating the HR organization for the right frameworks and conditions and try to connect those to the business goals of your Director.

What does this position offer you?

In this role you are always the first to know what is going on within one of the largest and leading companies within the Netherlands. You are directly involved in shaping innovative working conditions and managing the ongoing changes in the business and the banking sector. You are a first point of contact for high-ranking and influential managers and work with inspiring visionaries and powerful leaders. These directors rely on you in terms of participation processes, but you in turn can count on the support of the various HR experts who help you provide the right legal framework, processes, limits and capabilities. As a result, you are familiar with a wide range of HR knowledge and policies. Within this context you will be working in one large agile HR team of colleagues of every expertise with enthusiasm for the HR profession and a passion for collaboration. Our Works Councils and their members are currently showing a magnificent diversity in terms of nationality, background and culture, which will bring you challenging and exciting cultural differences that will challenge you as a person but will enrich you even more. You are also moving into an internationalized working environment because within the European Works Council you will become aware of cross-border differences in legislation and the organizations of the various ING entities. In short, a dynamic working environment with diverse, innovative content and people to learn from and be inspired by!
