Are you a strategic communication professional who takes brand, internal, and external communication to the next level? Do you want to lead a specialized team and provide direction to the positioning of Centric both domestically and abroad? You can do this as a Marketing & Communication Manager at Centric. In this role, you connect strategy, communication, and branding and provide direction to the way we tell our story internally and externally. Make these opportunities your work.

In this position, you are responsible for developing, monitoring, and executing the strategy for internal communication and brand communication within Centric. You are both a strategist and a working manager: someone who comes up with plans and also rolls up their sleeves.

• You lead a team of four marketing and communication specialists and are responsible for the further development of this team

• You are a sparring partner for management and internal stakeholders and create support for communication, branding, and change initiatives within the organization

• You develop the communication and branding strategy and translate this into concrete communication plans, campaigns, and tools

• You monitor the brand identity and actively contribute to the further development of our employer and corporate brand

• You coordinate with our colleagues abroad and thus ensure a consistent corporate brand across the different countries

• You handle or coordinate external spokesperson duties and act as a sparring partner for stakeholders and management

After 6 months, you have built a strong connection with your team, the key stakeholders, and the business within Centric. You know what is happening, bring people and interests together, and translate this into clear priorities for internal and external communication. You know the qualities and ambitions of your team members and know how to best support them in their development. Additionally, you have made a clear analysis of the positioning of our corporate and employer brand and of the performance of our online channels. Based on this, you have drafted concrete improvement proposals and an implementation plan.

After 12 months, you have realized demonstrable growth in the team and in the impact of Marketing & Communication. You have taken concrete steps in strengthening our brand positioning and use insights from online data to target improvements in reach and traffic. You have strengthened collaboration within the organization, know how to get stakeholders on board, and bring acceleration to processes and decision-making where necessary. Above all, you have created an environment in which colleagues take ownership, enjoy their work, and do as much as possible of what they are good at and get energy from. Thus, there is a team that operates increasingly independently and effectively and visibly contributes to the ambitions of Centric.

At Centric, as a Marketing and Communication Manager, you can count on:

• A staff association that organizes truly fun things. Will you join us to Prague, Efteling, or skiing?

The procedure consists of three interviews, in which you will, among other things, get to know the interim manager, HR Business Partner, a colleague from the team, and your future manager. Between the first and second interview, you will complete an assessment in which we look at, among other things, drivers and competencies. To keep the procedure as compact as possible, we plan the second and third interview on the same day where possible.
