Chief of Staff

We recently welcomed a new CEO! This transition at TVH aligns with an ambitious new chapter of strategic transformation, designed to sustain long-term global growth. 

You will be based at our Global Headquarters in Waregem, Belgium. In this key role supporting the CEO, you will have an immediate impact on our global corporate strategy and operations, streamlining strategic initiatives, overseeing critical project management, and communicating corporate objectives across departments, regions, and executive leadership. 

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a business management role and/or a background in a top-tier consulting firm, with a special focus on executive-level advising, corporate governance, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Act as a neutral sounding board for GMT members, leveraging the unique nature of this position (carrying no functional or regional “hat”) to foster objective dialogue and balanced organizational alignment.
• Act as “process owner” of the Board of Directors governance by managing and significantly contributing to the Board agenda
