Do you want to contribute to a future-proof living environment in which housing and accessibility go hand in hand? Are you an entrepreneurial professional with a vision for spatial development and accessibility, and do you have a broad network within the public domain? Then you are our new Program Manager Area Development.

The Netherlands faces major spatial challenges: housing shortages, mobility issues, climate adaptation, and the integration of these themes. As a program manager, you help governments and social organizations develop vision, policy, and implementation strategies. You provide overview, insight, and actionable perspectives, thereby making a direct contribution to the design of the Netherlands. In your role as program manager and strategic advisor within public administration, you work on the largest societal challenges in the Netherlands. You help public clients move forward by achieving concrete results in complex projects. You guide teams and clients from problem to solution and are responsible for acquiring leading assignments from top civil service and administrative clients.

"In our work, it is about connecting interests and translating complex issues into workable solutions. In this way, we keep the Netherlands livable and accessible together."

The tasks and responsibilities below are indicative. Even if you think you do not meet all the requirements, we cordially invite you to apply for this position. We will then explore the possibilities together.
