The position offers an attractive benefits package, including a company car, fuel card, meal vouchers, group and hospital insurance, and public transport reimbursement. The successful candidate will oversee a stable, operational team where leadership is required primarily for structure and support rather than crisis management.
We are looking for candidates who thrive in dynamic, multicultural environments and possess a natural talent for bringing people together. The ideal person is a motivating team leader, skilled at fostering collaboration and mutual respect, and confident in guiding well-established teams to maintain their high standards without imposing unnecessary changes.

- Project and People Management: Naturally organized, structured, and proactive in managing projects and deadlines. Manages priorities and resources effectively to keep processes running smoothly without oversight from upper management.
- Balanced Professional Experience: Has up to eight years of relevant experience, offering a mature yet agile approach. Not overly senior, but ready to assume responsibility for guiding a sizable team—without needing intensive training or support.
- Open-Minded & Solutions-Oriented: Open to working with diverse mindsets and backgrounds, and able to diplomatically handle change or sensitive situations. Quickly adapts to evolving business needs and strives for continuous improvement.
- Discreet and Responsible: Maintains confidentiality and demonstrates ethical judgment in all professional dealings.
- High Commitment: Available to start as soon as possible, understanding the importance of stepping in promptly yet respecting standard notice periods. Demonstrates reliability and a readiness to take ownership from day one.
We seek individuals who bring a positive energy, unwavering professionalism, and a collaborative spirit to their work—ensuring stability, continuity, and engagement within a high-performing team.
