About Bol.com
Bol.com has made a tremendous impact on the Dutch and Belgian e-commerce landscape. The company operates the most extensive online platform in the Benelux, where millions of consumers can browse over 36 million items.

Vacancy: Strategic Program Manager
The Strategic Program Manager will become part of bol.com’s new E-commerce Strategy team, currently consisting of five professionals. Due to its recent formation, the team members still have the flexibility to shape how the team operates within the broader scope of bol.com.

The Strategic Program Manager will define and implement a winning e-commerce strategy that enables bol.com to sustain its market leadership. This will encompass, e.g., developing best-in-class customer propositions and prioritizing strategic initiatives. The strategic programs they will design, lead, and execute could revolve around, for example, how to differentiate from the intensifying competition, how to effectively adapt to the shifting consumer needs driven by new generations of consumers entering the market, how to enhance sustainable consumption, or how to leverage AI in e-commerce.
The programs the Strategic Program Manager will work on are crucial for continuing bol.com’s e-commerce success and, therefore, require managing a senior stakeholder field.

This will open the door to exciting and promising next steps within bol.com.

It’s a chance to play a pivotal role in a new team (steering and coaching other team members), introduce new propositions, and contribute to bol.com’s continued expansion.
