Your role
- You are responsible for the coordination, implementation and execution of your projects & campaigns.

- You get the right people to the table and make sure everyone knows their role, to dos and deadlines.
- You lead your own projects (end to end) and help your team successfully deliver theirs.
- You are the client’s daily contact and sparring partner; you have the talent to build strong client relationships & generate trust.
- You have a nose for business and sniff out opportunities.
- You make budgets, defend and respect them.
- You have strong communication & presentation skills that allow you to make a difference, both internally within the agency (you get things done) and externally with clients (clients trust and adore you).
- You have a will to act, but first to reflect on the strategy and the client’s business. Together with our strategists you help lay the strategic foundation for our projects and campaigns. You translate and guard strategic insights.

- Brand-savvy and the guardian angel of the brands you work for.
- Good commercial skills.
- You'll be working for Dutch/French speaking clients, so it's important to be native in one language and professional in the other. You'll also need a good knowledge of English.
- Team player. You believe in we, not me.
- Energetic, curious and reflective. You act fast and think smart.
- And of course: a good sense of humour and the will to celebrate and have fun.
