Do you have a passion for making organisations work smarter, simpler, and stronger? At Action’s International Headquarters in Zwaagdijk, we’re looking for an Organisation Development Manager to help shape our fast-growing company for the future.

This is what your day could look like

You start your day aligning with department heads to discuss the future structure of a growing team. Then it’s time to review FTE dashboards and cost data, providing insights for leadership. After lunch, you participate in a working session to refine an initiative aimed at simplifying how overhead teams collaborate across countries. You finish the day by preparing a recommendation to the Head of Organisation Development, backed by analysis and smart solutions—all part of helping Action grow with focus and efficiency.
