About BMG

Bank Mendes Gans (BMG) is ING’s specialist global liquidity and information management partner, dedicated to helping multinational companies optimize their cash visibility, control, and efficiency worldwide. BMG serves a highly international client base and is known for its deep expertise, long-standing client relationships, and tailored solutions that support some of the world’s largest corporates. With a strong focus on operational excellence, collaboration, and innovation, BMG combines decades of knowledge with a commitment to continuously improving the way we work.

The Role

Are you someone who loves bringing people together, turning ideas into real experiences, and creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy being part of ? As our People & Engagement Specialist, you’ll be the heartbeat of the team – supporting personal development, shaping communities, and helping us future-proof our way of working.

You’ll be joining a team with a long history and deep expertise - and you’ll help us keep that knowledge alive, shared, and inspiring for the next generation. This is a role for someone who wants to make impact from day one. You’ll have the freedom to design, experiment, create, and elevate engagement in your own way. BMG wants to further invest in its most important capital: human capital. You will be driving this people strategy and help us step up in our employee engagement.

What you will do

Support Growth, Learning & Knowledge Transfer.

Our BMG team has colleagues with incredible experience — your role is to help keep that knowledge flowing. You will:

• Help coordinate individual development plans (IDPs)
• Set up buddy systems, knowledge-sharing moments, and onboarding experiences
• Make it easy for people to learn from each other
• Support planning around skills, capacity, and future needs. This is where your curiosity and people-orientation shine.

Boost Team Culture & Engagement

• You will be the go-to person for everything that makes working at BMG more human, fun, and connected:
• Organize team events, celebrations, and moments that matter that help strengthen team belonging
• Build engagement campaigns that bring energy and spark collaboration across silos
• Create bite-size, visual, engaging internal communications (think: newsletters, reels, presentations, creative updates, short videos)
• If you enjoy creating experiences or telling stories — this part of the job is made for you.

Organize & Coordinate

• You’ll work closely with many colleagues across the organization, becoming a trusted go-to person for coordination, internal communication, and engagement
• Prepare materials for meetings and workshops
• Track follow-ups and ensure things don’t fall through the cracks
• Support with basic reporting (headcount, planning dashboards, onboarding progress)
• You don’t need HR experience — just strong coordination skills and a hands-on mindset

Why this role is perfect for you

• You get ownership early - your ideas can become real events, rituals, or improvements
• You make visible impact on culture, collaboration, and engagement
• You express your creativity through events, storytelling, design, presentations
• You connect with many people and become the heartbeat of the organization
• You grow professionally in coordination, communication, stakeholder management, and people development
• You shape the future of a team that truly values your fresh perspective
• You won’t be “the admin person.” You’ll be the culture builder and engagement driver

Who You Are

You’ll love this role if you’re someone who is:

• Social, curious, and naturally good at connecting people
• Creative and loves organizing things (events, activities, content)
• A fast learner who enjoys owning projects
• Structured and reliable — you get things done
• Skilled in PowerPoint and basic digital tools
• Eager to build experience in people development, communication, or operations

Your Background

• Bachelor’s degree in business, communications, psychology, or similar
• 1–3 years experience in people related roles, coordination of events or student associations
• Experience in organizing student events, travel, communities, or social activities is very welcome
• A good understanding of the Dutch language and an affinity with Dutch culture are a plus

If you’re passionate about creating an environment where people can develop, learn, and reach their full potential, this role gives you the opportunity to truly make an impact. This is a role for someone who wants to shape BMG’s culture, help people grow and spark a connection.
