Naturally, you will get a (flexible) workplace at our office in Amsterdam that belongs to the top 7% in the world, truly. And because you will also work from home regularly, you will receive a budget to properly equip your home workspace.

In exchange for your commitment, talent, and skills, you will receive, in addition to your salary plus a holiday allowance and a thirteenth month, 27 vacation days (based on a 36-hour contract) and a public transport card or travel expense allowance for the days you come to the office. And, not unimportantly, you will receive a good training budget so that you can continue to develop yourself. This gives you the chance to grow, within our company or beyond.

You are the face of the business, build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and make decisions with mandate. You operate at the intersection of Business and IT and lead an Agile Business Team that translates issues into valuable Epics and Features.

Our strategy is focused on the continuous improvement of Operational Excellence, always from the perspective of customer value, whereby we explicitly link processes to the overarching customer journey. With your sharp prioritization, you keep the backlog manageable, define features and stories, and safeguard quality according to the highest standards and the Definition of Done.
