During management meetings, you will update the executive team on the progress of ongoing projects. You will make timely adjustments to prevent delays. You are able to switch seamlessly between strategic and operational levels.

• You seek to connect with others and are able to get them on board.
• You are independent, analytical, and proactive.

• You are a solution-oriented thinker, you want to make a difference, and you are not afraid to challenge the status quo.
• You have proven project management skills.

• You live in or around Amsterdam.

What's on your resume?
