As a senior consultant you have already had a tour of duty at an agency, on the client side or in the media.
At FINN you will be responsible for an exciting, varied portfolio of clients, whom you will support with advice and assistance.
Who we are
FINN and Gosselin & de Walque recently merged to become leader in strategic communications and public affairs in Belgium. With a team of 55 experts, we serve amazing clients and deliver high-profile assignments. Members of our team were communications directors for Prime Ministers and listed companies, VP of a successful tech startup in Berlin, founder of an influencer marketing agency in San Francisco, and journalists for national media. As part of Only, a European group of creative entrepreneurs, we combine ambition with a collaborative, results-driven culture.
We are looking for a talented and dynamic Head of Business Development to support our company’s growth.
Job description
You work out strategies. As a senior consultant, you are aware of your client’s business challenges and translate them into viable, high-impact communication strategies and campaigns. You help clients make informed decisions about their communication approach – both in their proactive brand building and in issue management and crisis communication.
You organise. Based on communication strategies and plans, you ensure precise execution of the strategy. As a senior consultant, you are the point of contact for the client and closely monitor the work of internal and external team members. You ensure that campaigns are delivered on time, within budget and to the highest quality, and you report on the outcome to the client.
You lead the way. Clients count on you to provide valuable insights and creative solutions that have an impact on their reputation and brand. You ensure that all noses are in the same direction, both among colleagues and freelancers with whom you work for your clients.
Profile
You have an academic master’s degree (not necessarily in communications) or equivalent experience. You have built up considerable experience in a marketing, communications or public affairs role and have learned to keep a cool head in ever-changing situations.
For you, a strategy is a mandate to do things. You like to grow brands and reputations through concrete actions. You can zoom in on details when needed and zoom back out to see the bigger picture – and the next step in the client’s journey.
You are analytical. You see connections between facts and can turn them into a compelling story.
You are empathetic. You know your own strengths and weaknesses and can understand the point of view of others. You are committed to integrity.
You are a Dutch or French native speaker, and fluently speak the other national language and English.
What we offer
- The opportunity to play an active part in the growth of a leading company, with professional growth opportunities.
- Really interesting work. We’re lucky enough to work with some wonderful customers: CEOs, large corporations, SMEs and startups, cabinet ministers, institutions and NGOs. Our aim is to offer them a very high level of expertise, with advice that is effective, concrete and tailored to their needs.
- Our own working methodology: no encyclopedic reports, no endless presentations,… We are convinced that simplicity and conciseness are more than ever essential in today’s communication.
- A respectful and caring work environment. At FINN/Gosselin & de Walque, you’ll find colleagues who respect and encourage ownership and autonomy, but who also bring team spirit, conviviality and a desire to work together. We share an ambition to acquire mastery in the communication profession.
- Work-life balance. Many of us have families and understand that not everything can be planned. That’s why we strongly believe in teamwork. While we encourage everyone to work from the office three days a week to strengthen collaboration and team spirit, we also support remote work. We like to focus on results, not hours.
- A competitive package.
