• Experience in executive recruitment, talent strategy, or organizational development.
• Ability to swim across different companies and industries, understanding what talent is needed where.
• Strong leadership and interpersonal skills to align teams and drive a unified talent strategy.
• Multilingual proficiency—you can communicate effectively in Dutch, English, and Spanish.
  

At YOUNG.com, we are building a movement—a collection of companies that are shaping the future of entrepreneurship. As Chief Talent Officer, you will play a key role in ensuring that we have the right people in the right places to drive our companies forward. This is a unique opportunity to shape the leadership and culture of a rapidly growing organization and lead YOUNG Talents (www.ytalents.nl) as a central pillar of our talent strategy.
