  • You have strong negotiation skills and the ability to reach consensus among different stakeholders.
  • You have a proven ability to think and plan at a strategic level.
  • You have experience working with several stakeholders in complex environments, with the ability to bridge gaps between different teams and departments.
  • You are an honest person that ensures we take ownership of the projects we work on, and strive to always deliver and demonstrate value.
  • You thrive on network events, building new relationships and connections.
  • You speak and write English & Dutch fluently. French is a big plus.

Additional information:

Working at In The Pocket means accepting a high level of autonomy. We rely on trust and openness, and sharing our learning curve. At In The Pocket, there’s time to experiment and budget to develop yourself.
