At Alpine Hearing Protection, we want a workplace where everyone feels valued and welcome. Therefore, we invite everyone to apply, regardless of background, experience, identity, or disability. Different perspectives make us stronger as a team.

At Alpine, we believe no one should have to choose between doing what you love and taking care of your ears. We make earplugs and earmuffs that protect your hearing without you missing out on any of the experience. Whether you are partying all night long, trying to sleep peacefully, concentrating in a busy environment, going to a loud event with your child, or going for a long motorcycle ride: we have something for you. And do you want hearing protection that fits truly perfectly? Then we make it custom-made.

You might know us from festivals and races, or from the shelf at the drugstore. We are active in more than 65 countries, mainly in Europe and North America, growing fast, and are a certified B Corp. Doing good for people and the planet is part of everything we do.

Alpine is a young, fast-growing, and very dynamic company. We prefer to build rather than play it safe.

Our Commercial Manager Custom Made (custom-made hearing protection) is going on maternity leave, so we are looking for someone to temporarily take over the baton. This is a temporary employment from approximately mid-March to mid-September 2027, 4 days per week. You will work directly for our CFO. Your workplace is our office in Utrecht, with the possibility of hybrid working.

You will join during the high season. During this time, it is especially important that sales continue to run at full speed and that opportunities are not missed. You will monitor turnover per channel, look at how the website converts, ensure that planned promotions go live on time, and ensure that the entire chain from measurement to delivery runs smoothly. The plans are already in place: you ensure they are executed and adjust where necessary.

• Your team. You will manage the Partnership Managers, the Product Owner, and the Otometrist Coordinator. Together with the otometrists, the team is about 10 people in size. You give people space and ownership and intervene where necessary.
• Website and promotions. You monitor conversion and track where visitors drop off. Within Alpine, you maintain short lines with the Webshop, Performance Marketing, and Content teams, and you ensure that planned promotions go live on time.
• Ongoing projects. You keep ongoing launches and improvements on track.
• Grip on the numbers. You manage turnover, margin, and costs per channel and per country and intervene quickly if something lags behind.
• Partners, measurement capacity, and delivery. Your team is responsible for the daily collaboration with our retail and measurement partners, for sufficient measurement capacity and good quality of measurements and fittings, and for the chain from production to delivery. You monitor that this runs well and intervene if lead times, costs, or quality are under pressure.

Otometrists perform the ear measurements, partners produce, and the end products reach customers through our own channels and through a network of partners.

We are looking for someone with energy who is commercially sharp and at the same time finds a smoothly running operation important. You see an opportunity, take it, and ensure everything is correct behind the scenes. Because it is a temporary role, you will need little onboarding time: you will quickly take control yourself.

1. Commercial insight: you weigh turnover, margin, and costs against each other and choose growth that remains profitable.

2. Operational sharpness: you keep planning, capacity, and order flow tight, even when it is busy.

3. Entrepreneurship and energy: you seize opportunities, switch quickly, and bring tempo to the team.

4. Analytical: you use data to find causes and substantiate choices.

5. Leadership: you give space, but adjust when necessary.

6. Collaboration: you achieve results together with colleagues and partners.
