About Our Client

Our client, a Belgian non-profit organization, focuses on household packaging waste management.

  • Manage the contracts between the company and about three Flemish inter-municipal associations.
  • Organize and evaluate market inquiries for the collection of PMD, paper cardboard, and glass with your inter-municipal associations working with private partners.
  • Be responsible for budget monitoring, data tracking, and awareness-raising.
  • Focus on operational and cost efficiency and strive to optimize recycling processes and associated administrative tasks.
  • Safeguard the interests and respond to the needs of recyclers and inter-municipal associations in various internal consultations and topics, always aiming for optimal service delivery.
  • Coordinate one or more internal projects as a project manager (with guidance from the Project Management Officer) and be encouraged to take the initiative within a continuously evolving organization.

  • Work accurately and with an analytical mindset.
  • Have sufficient affinity with numbers to manage large budgets.
