• You’ve worked in a SaaS, product-led, or high-growth tech environment (or similar)
• You’re fluent in Dutch and English
• You’re confident using data to evaluate performance and drive improvements across user funnels
• You thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy influencing across product, marketing, and engineering teams
• You’re both strategic and hands-on, comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving outcomes
