Are you an experienced operational people manager who thrives on planning, making adjustments, and leading teams in a fast-paced environment? Do you feel at home in a setting where structure, process improvement, and execution go hand in hand, and where decisions have a tangible impact?
We are seeking an Operations Team Manager for Projects for an organization active in waste and environmental services. In this role, you will lead a department on a daily basis that rolls out large-scale operational projects for public clients in Flanders and the Netherlands.
The department is responsible for end-to-end processes such as the placement, replacement, and chipping of containers, logistical coordination, and communication with citizens and customers. These are high-volume projects with tight deadlines and clear social relevance.
This is emphatically not a traditional project manager role. You will not manage a single project from start to finish yourself, but will lead the team that prepares and executes these projects. We are looking for a manager who maintains an overview, brings calm and structure to a historically highly operational context, and further professionalizes operations step by step, while maintaining a close connection with the front lines.
