Co-founder & Managing Director, Sonian Wood Coop

From locally harvested wood to contemporary design.

Sonian sustains a harmonious ecosystem which closes the gap between wood source and final design through meaningful collaborations with designers and trusted partners. We work exclusively with wood from the Sonian Forest, with full traceability from the tree to the delivered object.

Join Us as Managing Director

After 5 years of tremendous development, the SONIAN WOOD COOP is looking for a new Managing Director to steer the cooperative during the next phase of growth. As our new leader, you will be in charge of the following activities:

  1. Client Engagement: Respond to inquiries by interior architects and final clients: help to create beautiful custom designs and to produce them with local wood
  2. Production Oversight: Organise and supervise the production of objects produced by our in-house workshop: we have a great team, and you can make it even better.
  3. Product Development: Develop Sonian's offer in terms of designs, products and services: let the market for design with local wood become your playground.
  4. Communication Strategy: Develop and implement a vision for Sonian's communication channels, including the website, social media, and newsletters, embracing the diverse roles within a small company.
  5. Financial Management: Manage invoicing and payments, ensuring the financial stability of the cooperative. Coordinate relationships with the cooperative's partners: liaise and align with forestry operators, sawmills, distributors and investors.

Your profile

  • You have at least 5 years of experience in interior architecture, interior design, custom-made furniture design/production, high-end furniture retail or related sectors.
  • Excellent knowledge of the interior design ecosystem in Brussels (knowledge of other relevant cities is a plus).

  • Language Skills: Fluent in French and English (Dutch is a plus).
  • Familiarity with 3D software (Sketchup, Fusion) and Adobe Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop).
  • Experience in communications and brand management.
  • Woodworking Affinity: A strong connection to woodworking and a commitment to a local value chain from tree to product.
  • You are organised, autonomous, articulate and aligned with our cooperative values.

What we offer

  • Leadership Role: A leadership position in an innovative company with meaningful products.
  • Competitive Salary: A competitive compensation based on your profile.
  • Work Environment: Office space in an attractive coworking location (Rue George Moreau 32 in 1070 Brussels), just minutes away from our workshop (Rue Heyvaert 140 in 1080 Brussels).
  • Training Opportunities: Training in basic woodworking techniques (if needed).
