Job Description

Do you get energy from helping people grow, achieving results together, and making the operation better every single day? Then this might be your next step.

For our department, we are looking for an Operational Coach Media Production.

What you'll do

As an Operational Coach, you lead our Operators and Senior Operators. You stand close to your team and the operation, know what is happening, and ensure clear priorities and distinct expectations. At the same time, you give employees the confidence and the space to take responsibility themselves.

  • Coaching and developing: you help employees grow in craftsmanship, ownership, and collaboration.
  • Providing direction: you bring focus and steer on safety, quality, planning, output, and costs.
  • Achieving results together: you build a strong and independent daily operation together with the Senior Operator(s).
  • Continuous improvement: you stimulate the team not only to solve problems but to make processes structurally better.
  • Connecting: you work closely with, among others, QA, M&R, Engineering, EHS, and Planning.
  • You do not need to know or solve everything yourself. The Production Expert is your functional right hand for complex process, system, equipment, and compliance issues. You focus on people, direction, and performance. The Production Expert adds technical depth. Together, you build a strong and future-oriented operation.
