Job description

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Make complex projects move. Connect the right people. Handle the unexpected. Turn customer requests into concrete solutions.

Welcome to the world of PLM, where a packaging change can shake

up a timeline, one late decision can impact an entire launch, and a “quick

little customer request” can suddenly become a full-scale project. XXL.

We’re looking for someone who likes to make things happen, find solutions and stay in control when things start going in every possible direction. Behind a toilet block, an air freshener or a sponge is a complex industrial project involving customers, formulas, packaging, artwork, production, regulations, costs, supply chain and — quite often — a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Your playground:

You’ll be the connection point between our customers and our internal teams.

What will you actually do?

• Own projects from A to Z — from the first brief to the final launch.
• Figure out what the customer really needs… even when they’re not entirely sure themselves.
• Turn needs into clear actions, priorities and deadlines.
• Coordinate teams, keep everyone moving and make sure things actually happen.
• Keep an eye on timelines, costs, risks and regulatory requirements.
• Spot problems before they turn into emergencies.
• Challenge customer requests when they don’t match reality — diplomatically, but confidently.
• Find Plan B when Plan A has officially disappeared.
• Keep information flowing and avoid the classic: “Oh… nobody told me.”
• Improve our ways of working because “we’ve always done it this way” is not a strategy.

And you?

You have around 3–5 years of project management experience, ideally in a customer-facing environment.

FMCG, retail, Customer Service, Key Account Management or PLM experience? Even better.

But what really matters is that you are:

Energetic — you like things to move.

Solution-oriented — you look for the how, not the why it’s impossible.

Curious — you want to understand how things actually work.

Customer‑savvy — even when the conversation gets a little… sporty.

Confident enough to challenge — with diplomacy, but also conviction.

Organized — juggling several projects doesn’t scare you.

Independent & proactive — you see a problem and you do something about it.

Comfortable with ERP, CRM, Excel and other everyday tools. Confident in English.

Your superpower?

Seeing a project through both the customer’s eyes and the company’s eyes.

Understand the need.

Spot the constraints.

Identify the risks.

Get the right people around the table.

And above all…

MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.

Because we’re not looking for someone who simply follows projects. We’re looking for someone who makes them happen. If you like customers, challenges, projects that move fast and days where no two days look the same…

Then maybe this mission isn’t so impossible after all.

Ready to accept the mission?

Why Nicols?

Because what you work on here doesn't stay in a PowerPoint. It becomes a toilet care product, an air freshener, a sponge or a cleaning solution that ends up in consumers' homes across Europe and beyond. You will work in a family-owned industrial company with decades of expertise in product development and manufacturing, where innovation, customer focus and operational excellence come together.

And you will join a culture built around four simple but demanding values:

PASSION. RESPECT. INTEGRITY. EXCELLENCE.

We stay curious.

We support each other.

We work hard — and we have fun.

We make decisions based on facts.

We respect our commitments.

And we continuously look for better solutions.
