This will be matched with operational experience, a genuine interest in their brands and a sound understanding of working within a commercial environment.

The ability to communicate effectively (Dutch is essential, English of course and French would be a definite plus) with stakeholders at all levels will also be highly valued as will the ability to take tough business decisions and sensitively handle people issues. Most importantly you won’t be afraid to roll your sleeves up and get on with it!
