• You are structured, accurate and comfortable working with deadlines, budgets and detailed information.
• You enjoy coordinating with different stakeholders and keeping everyone aligned.
• You communicate clearly and professionally in English and Dutch or French; knowledge of both Dutch and French is a strong plus.

• You are comfortable working with numbers, planning tools and administrative systems.

What we offer

• The opportunity to learn the full operational and financial flow behind successful media campaigns.
• A collaborative team environment where you work closely with experienced client leads, planners and media experts.
