Job description

Configuration Manager

Bij The Landrovers bouwen we geen standaard Defenders. We bouwen dromen, avonturen en blijvende herinneringen. Iedere build begint met een visie, maar pas tijdens het configuratieproces krijgt die visie echt vorm.

As a Configuration Manager, you are responsible for ensuring this process runs smoothly. You guide clients through every decision, monitor the progress of the configuration phase, and ensure all specifications are complete and accurate before the Defender enters production.

Responsibilities

• Guide clients through every decision and stage of the configuration process, both in Dutch and English.
• Monitor progress of the configuration phase and ensure all decisions are documented on time.
• Translate customer requirements into complete and accurate production specifications.
• Advise clients on materials, colours, finishes, and options in collaboration with the Project Director.
• Maintain professional, personal, and engaging communication with clients, primarily via email.
• Coordinate closely with the relevant internal departments throughout the process.
• Identify potential bottlenecks and ensure outstanding decisions never impact the production schedule.
• Assemble Design Boxes and contribute to their ongoing development and refinement.

Qualifications

• Completed degree in Interior Design, Product Design, Interior Architecture, or a related field.
• Preferably 3–5 years of experience in a premium, customer‑focused environment.
• Experience in the automotive industry is an advantage; a background in high‑end interiors, luxury kitchens, yacht building, or luxury retail is equally relevant.
• Strong sense of design, materials, colours, and finishes.
• Structured, organised, and detail‑oriented way of working.
• Strong sense of ownership for planning, progress, and quality.
• Excellent command of both Dutch and English, written and spoken.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on knowledge and experience.
• Passionate and energetic team.
• Opportunity to work on unique, high‑end projects.
• Plenty of room for personal development and learning new skills.
• Fresh fruit, breakfast, and hot lunch prepared by in‑house chefs every day.
• Flexible working hours.
• Prospect of a permanent contract.
• 25 vacation days per year.
• Friday afternoon drinks, team events, and an informal working environment.
