HR & Payroll Operations Specialist

About Peddler

Peddler is building the next generation of urban delivery.

We operate a fast-growing, fully electric last-mile logistics network built for modern cities and modern commerce. As traditional delivery models come under pressure from rising costs, stricter city regulations, and growing demand for speed and flexibility, we are building the infrastructure that retailers, brands, and e-commerce platforms need.

Our mission is to transform current urban logistics into a fully sustainable network. We achieve this in collaboration with international partners who supply our city hubs, after which we handle the last-mile delivery with our electric fleet. By joining Peddler, you become part of a company that values sustainability and innovation, playing a key role in our mission to transform last-mile delivery.

To continue making the planet a greener place, we need great people. And those people need support from our amazing People team. As our HR Operations Specialist you will ensure that our people are empowered to continue to make logistics a greener place.
