Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a hands‑on Team Lead to own the two sides of our customer operation, end‑to‑end:

The Client Services team (CSO), leading the team that handles end‑consumer contact on behalf of our clients in Belgium, the Netherlands and in France.

The Customer Success team, supporting our SaaS customers who use our platform in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the UK.

Different focus on how to support the customer but one shared goal: everyone we deal with should have a fast, clear and high‑quality experience. Over time, we see real potential in bringing these two teams closer together, and you'll help shape that. Primary focus is supporting the Client Services team from day 1.

This is a hands‑on, in‑the‑detail leadership role. You're close to your teams and close to the customer. Coaching people, unblocking issues, watching quality and service levels, and making both operations run smoothly day after day. If you enjoy leading people, getting things right for the customer, and improving how things work, this role is for you.
