About You and This Role
Were looking for a People Projects hire to join our Exec Ops team and own the human side of how Monumental runs day-to-day.
Monumental is a unique company in that were solving the problem of on-site construction with a vertically integrated offering. Were a hard tech company doing real R&D financed through venture funding. We manufacture our hardware in-house manage a complex supply chain and deploy masonry robots to construction sites across the Netherlands and the UK.
This is a generalist role with a deliberate tilt. Youll work closely with our CEO on the projects conversations and quiet upkeep that keep the people side of a fast-growing company healthy. Over time the goal is for someone in this seat to grow into senior people leadership at Monumental.
Weve already covered our day-to-day people operations. Were hiring for something harder to define: someone whos genuinely curious about what everyone in the company is building who runs 1:1s people look forward to and who can pick up the people-related project nobody has owned yet and close it out.
Light process when it earns its place. Youre at home in the local detail not in the org chart and you distrust the urge to flatten messy human reality into clean legible systems.
What You Might Be Working On
People projects without an obvious owner. The work that needs doing but doesnt have a home yet - onboarding redesign improving the buddy system ad-hoc work whenever something new comes up. You pick it up figure it out and close it.
Performance cycles operationally. Once the structure is set you make it run. Comms scorecards tracking follow-up.
Soft 1:1s with the people who need them. The kind of conversation people quietly look forward to. Youll walk away knowing what theyre building whats blocking them and who else in the company could help.
Candidate experience and employer brand. Helping shape how Monumental shows up to people considering joining so great candidates have the experience that makes them say yes. (You wont run the hiring funnel but youll improve everything around it.)
Talent spotting in practice. Noticing the operator who could be doing something bigger. Surfacing names in conversation. Helping build spot great people into how the company works.
Office and event culture. Supporting Lucie (Office/Event Manager) on the things that build real face-to-face trust - the conditions for people to know each other well.
Writing. Internal comms when something needs to land well. You write clearly and fast.
What were looking for
You have 1-3 years of experience in a startup VC or similarly fast-moving environment - ideally as the person who ended up doing the people stuff.
A generalist with strong people instincts. You read a room. You notice when someone is off. You can have a real conversation with anyone in the company.
A bias to action and a whatever-it-takes mindset. You dont wait for permission and you dont decide something is beneath you.
Suspicious of policy as a default mode. You dont think the answer to most problems is a new rule.
A strong direct writer. Clear no filler.
You reach for AI tools by default - not because its trendy but because you dont want to spend three days on something you can solve in an afternoon.
A Day 1 culture fit. Curious about the technical work energised by being around people who care.
Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus but not required.
