Project Leadership

You will lead project delivery as a day-to-day engagement leader, guiding teams of designers, strategists, and business consultants to deliver high-quality projects that meet the needs of our clients.

  • Ensure projects continue beyond initial scopes and identify additional opportunities.
  • Create content for frog's demand generation activities and establish yourself as a thought leader in your discipline.

  • Manage direct reports and coach and mentor junior colleagues.
  • Participate in talent acquisition, either as a hiring manager or member of hiring teams.


Your Home Base at Capgemini Invent

We cover various design disciplines including Interaction Design, Product Design, Service Design, Visual Design, Strategic Design, and Design Research.



There are also plenty of development opportunities and global frog hangouts where the latest and greatest is shared across the globe. We are a pretty social bunch, and we like to go out for lunch or get together and catch up over some drinks after work.



Benefits

  • Plenty of opportunities for following training and courses fitting your field and personal development.
  • 26 vacation days. Feeling like having extra time off? Buy some extra days.
  • Premievrijpensioen and the option to add to it, so you'll still think fondly of Capgemini Invent in your old age.
  • Work from anywhere with our connectivity and home work compensation.
  • A fast laptop and a sim card that you can also use privately.
  • Lease car, NS-business card, or reimbursement of your travel costs.
