Communications Manager

Arjen Struijk, Director Marketing & Sales Climate Neutral Group

Important values in our culture are: Professional, innovative, focused, ownership and learning ability. We are passionate and enthusiastic but with a good business sense. This also has to do with the parties we interact with: well-known retailers, major FMCG A-brands or leading NGOs and service providers. But we can also be of great added value for smaller parties. What makes us unique is that we are all intrinsically involved with the climate. 

At Climate Neutral Group, we strive for zero emissions with our partners. Our quality mark is the driver for enormous growth, a super accelerator. We need all organizations on board to reduce their CO2 emissions. For the time being, we are still mainly working with innovators and early adopters.

Thought Leadership is therefore crucial for us in our marketing strategy; many more organizations should know that Climate Neutral Group is best at guiding from A to Zero emissions. We want to maximize our impact with a rock-solid content strategy in a dynamic environment. I am looking for a strong Communications Manager, someone who has affinity with topics such as climate change, circular economy, energy transition and sustainability.
