Mid-Level Project Manager

The Labor Match Platform’s mission is to find 10,000 additional technicians and thereby make the energy transition a reality. We are at the forefront of labor market innovation with our skills-based approach. We focus on what someone can do and what they can learn, rather than on what they cannot (yet) do. We bring this together on our orientation and guidance platform, where we guide job seekers from start to finish toward a meaningful job in the technical field. Arbeidsmatchplatform was founded by seven major companies with which we work closely: Alliander, Enexis, KPN, Stedin, TenneT, Van Gelder, and Van Voskuilen.

The role

The core of your role is to manage and optimize partnerships between employers, (public) partners, and training providers to create new opportunities for career changers. We refer to these partnerships as ecosystems, which we establish in various regions to help people find work and ensure employers have access to sufficient technical staff. By 2025, at least five of these ecosystems will go live, and we are looking for someone who, together with the Operations team, will ensure that these ecosystems are operationally successful. 

A glimpse into your workweek:

• Work with our Job Coach to ensure successful candidate support and identify and address areas for improvement in our approach
• Support our Partnership Manager by ensuring that all partners know what is expected of them and encouraging them to contribute to the ecosystem
• Develop plug-and-play formats to ensure successful onboarding and launch for our ecosystems
• Ensuring that content in the region is up to date, such as gathering job opportunities (job openings) for career changers or organizing recruitment and orientation events 
• Monthly analyses—both quantitative and qualitative—of how an ecosystem is performing, along with suggestions for improvement or support
• Communicating constructively and critically with partners and the internal organization to continuously improve processes and collaboration
• Initiating discussions with new employers, partners, and training providers to create additional career transition opportunities.

You will be part of the Operations Team. This team consists of professionals who focus on both acquiring and establishing regional ecosystems, as well as providing operational support to candidates and employers within the ecosystem. You will report to the Head of Operations. 

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a proactive, organized project manager who is eager to make a difference in a dynamic environment. You will have plenty of opportunity to contribute your own ideas, both in how you perform the role and in how you help achieve our shared goals. You are a team player with an eye for detail who recognizes yourself in the skills listed above.

Bonus skills/experience:

• Experience in recruitment, sales, or channel management
• An interest in the energy transition and career changes into the engineering field.
• Experience and interest in regional partnerships
• You are up to date on the latest labor market trends 

This is your chance to grow within our organization—maybe you’ll be our senior project manager in the future!
