Van Oord

The position

As an experienced Employer Branding Specialist, you are the driving force behind our positioning as an employer. You take the lead in monitoring and further developing our recently updated Employer Brand Identity (EBI) and Employee Value Proposition (EVP). This means that you are responsible for shaping and adjusting our employer branding initiatives to ensure that we remain top of mind among the most important target groups. Are there new developments emerging or is approval required for a new course? Then you are the one who presents these initiatives internally with verve. 

You not only have a vision of our positioning as an employer, but you are also practical and not afraid to roll up your sleeves. You develop and implement impactful campaigns and ensure that they are continuously tested and optimized based on data. You also develop and implement the social media strategy, in collaboration with MrWork. In addition, you work with agencies such as Clubgeist to create the right content and are closely involved in operational implementation - from briefing to supervising shoots. You also have control over our career page and, in collaboration with Floyd & Hamilton, ensure that it is always up-to-date and appeals to the target groups. This way you ensure that all communications fit seamlessly with our Van Oord core values and target groups. 

Finally, you will of course support our recruiters with their questions regarding employer branding (EB) and recruitment marketing (RM). This way you strengthen our employer brand, from within.

Your responsibilities

In summary, your responsibilities include:

• You monitor and strengthen our EBI and EVP and make adjustments where necessary, in order to strengthen and safeguard our positioning as an employer;
• You develop data-driven employer branding and recruitment campaigns that you implement and optimize together with external partners;
