You will translate client requirements, creative concepts and technical needs into feasible project plans, budgets, timelines and workable productions. You will manage in-house teams, freelancers, suppliers and production partners, ensuring that everyone is clear about what needs to be done, when and for what purpose.

You will be the central point of contact for clients and stakeholders, monitoring scope, quality, budget and profitability, and taking ownership of the end result, both behind the scenes and on the ground.

• Preparing and following up on quotations in collaboration with the sales team
• Managing and coordinating internal teams, freelancers, suppliers and production partners
• Preparing and monitoring production files, storyboards, schedules and technical specifications
• Monitoring scope, quality, margins and profitability
• Anticipating risks, bottlenecks and changes, and proactively proposing solutions
• Negotiating with partners and suppliers to ensure high-quality and cost-effective solutions
• Taking operational responsibility during set-up, execution and dismantling, even under time pressure
• Organising post-project evaluations and reporting
• Contributing ideas for improvements to the project approach, processes and collaboration

Who you are

• You think ahead, identify risks in good time and come up with concrete solutions
• You are resilient under pressure, hands-on and take responsibility
• You have an eye for quality, detail, customer experience and profitability
• You are flexible: occasional evening and weekend work is part of the job
• You speak and write Dutch and English fluently; French is a strong plus

What's in it for you

• A full-time contract of indefinite duration
• A remuneration package tailored to your experience and impact, including a company car and a fuel or charging card
• Meal vouchers, a laptop, a mobile phone contract and a gym membership
