Partner Manager

HeadFirst Group is an international, market-leading full-service HR provider and HR tech platform. As a Partner Manager, you’ll help ensure the quality of our Partner Services: you’ll work toward relationship, revenue, and process goals, and ensure that suppliers contribute optimally to successful staffing for our clients. Collaboration is key—and you’re the one who truly makes that collaboration thrive.

Why this role at HeadFirst?

Every year, we connect more than 35,000 professionals with over 500 clients, driven by a blend of technology and personal touch. This requires tight supplier management and someone who is eager to make a difference in this area. You will build long-term relationships with the right partners, explore together how both of you can grow, and establish clear agreements on this—both at the process level and commercially.

What will you do?

• Portfolio management (approx. 40 suppliers): You will develop annual and account plans, finalize commercial agreements, and work with partners to monitor performance and compliance.

• Stakeholder management: You will coordinate and facilitate meetings between suppliers and internal teams (account management, recruitment, marketing), including setting the agenda, preparing for the meetings, and drafting meeting minutes.

• Supply and demand management: You identify the needs of partners and internal teams, pinpoint opportunities for further collaboration, and translate these into concrete actions.

• Continuous improvement: You identify trends and pain points, bring them to the table for discussion, and work with stakeholders to develop solutions—data-driven and step by step.

• Visits and meetings: You have daily appointments at our office in Hoofddorp or at the supplier’s location. A company car or a mobility allowance is available for this purpose.
