First things first:

If you're reading this and thinking "maybe…", go for it.

Even if your background doesn’t match every single point, we’d still love to hear from you. You might bring something we didn’t even know we needed. It’s not about ticking every box, it’s about the energy, ideas, and perspective you bring. Maybe you're not a strategist by title, but you've crafted campaigns, built content ecosystems, shaped stories, or just know how to connect the dots in a way others don't.

Great, we're listening.

The only hard requirement? We need someone who can speak

Dutch and English fluently.

Other than that? Surprise us.

We're looking for a Senior Content & Comms Strategist to join our team. You'll work on large-size projects and consultancy, developing smart, integrated content and comms strategies that drive impact across the customer journey.

This role is for someone who loves to puzzle, an expert in making complex things click.

• Turning client goals into clear strategic direction: frameworks, messaging logic, journey maps, channel roles, content systems, and creative briefs.
• Mapping complex ecosystems (audiences, moments, channels, formats, partners) and making smart choices about what matters most.
• Bringing audience insight + culture + platform behavior together to guide what we make, where it lives, and why it should work.
• Teaming up with brand strategists to bring positioning to life in the real world.
• Working hand-in-hand with creatives to make sure big ideas are built to travel, across channels, formats, and timelines.
• Collaborating with media and platform strategists, influencer specialists, CRM experts, and partners to keep campaigns consistent across touchpoints.
• Presenting your thinking beautifully: making complexity feel simple, structured, and exciting for clients and teammates.
• Building strong client relationships and becoming a trusted…
