THE COMPANY
Roland is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic musical instruments including keyboards & synthesisers, guitar products, electronic percussion, digital recording equipment, amplifiers and audio processing devices. You will be joining a high‑performing team that values respect and collaboration, while maintaining a strong focus on delivering results.
At Roland, you will find a friendly, down‑to‑earth atmosphere. Although the company operates worldwide, the working environment remains grounded, friendly and genuinely supportive. We look for people who bring energy, curiosity, and ambition. Individuals who want to grow and challenge themselves. If you’re passionate about Roland, our products or music in general, you may be a perfect match.
We’re looking for a committed, detail‑driven HR Administrator to join our European HR Team. You’ll thrive if you enjoy organisation, problem solving and supporting people in a fast paced environment. You’re expected to take pride in doing things well, value accuracy and naturally look for ways to make processes more efficient. A degree or previous HR experience is not required – just strong administrative skills, a proactive mindset, and a genuine desire to support others.
If you are looking for a long‑term career in HR admin where you can grow, contribute and make a meaningful impact, this could be the perfect opportunity.
THE POSITION
This is a true generalist HR position, offering real variety from day one. No two days look the same and you’ll have the chance to get involved in a wide range of HR activities – from reporting and systems administration to onboarding new employees, payroll support, benefits, staff training and employee queries. It’s a fast‑paced role where you can learn new things and gain experience across multiple areas of HR.
As part of our European HR Team, you’ll keep the department running smoothly and support the ongoing development of our HR services. Bring curiosity, initiative and a collaborative approach to everything you do – always looking for ways to improve processes, support colleagues and create a positive experience for employees.

Administrative Responsibilities
You’ll be at the heart of the team’s day‑to‑day operations, keeping everything organised by maintaining employee files and HR systems, coordinating meetings, interviews and appointments for the team and producing monthly and ad‑hoc reports. You’ll support and coordinate employee engagement and wellness initiatives, keep intranet content relevant and interesting, assist with approval flows, leaver administration, staff recognition programmes, and the coordination of training and development activities. You’ll prepare HR documentation – contracts, official letters, reports and presentations – ensuring accuracy and professionalism.
Recruitment
