You communicate clearly and confidently in Dutch and in English (spoken and written).
You are an open-minded team player, with good communication skills that help you to navigate through the different levels of the organization and build strong relationships. You enjoy working, collaborating and co-creating in a vibrant and changing multi-dimensional, multicultural and multinational environment.
