Head of People
Amsterdam
Mileway
For Mileway we are looking for an experienced and highly skilled Head of People.
Organisation
Only launched in 2019, Mileway has grown into Europe’s leader in last mile real estate with 440-plus team across more than 20 offices in 11 countries. Their customer base is incredibly diverse. As well as the big global brands you’d associate with e-commerce, such as Amazon and DHL, they work with thousands of small and mid-size companies and start-ups. Mileway set out to be a different kind of real estate company from the beginning, like their cloud-based IT infrastructure and the team’s ability to flex across borders, combining the best of local knowledge with the pooled expertise of a pan- European business. While they have already achieved a lot, their international “can do” team, is only just getting started.
Having spent their early years building the company from scratch, they are now focused on their next mission: being the most customer and climate focused last mile real estate company in Europe, creating space for businesses to grow sustainably. To get there, they live their values: Drive, Trust, Grow, Together.
