Unfortunately for this position we’re not able to support with a relocation or sponsoring a work visa in the Netherlands. Therefore, we can only consider applicants who are already residing in the Netherlands and hold a valid work permit.

We’re building on our new Happy Place. Landal and Roompot are becoming one brand - Landal - and that’s why you will see some exciting new challanges.

With a vision to become the European leader in holiday breaks in nature, it’s our ambition to grow, and we’d like you to come and grow with us.

Currently based in 3 locations (Zwolle, Den Haag and Goes), we’re going to bring everyone together as one team in our amazing new Amsterdam HQ.
