Job Summary

Role: Senior or Lead Product Manager

Language: English

Location: Rotterdam (hybrid)

Duration: 12 month contract (will be renewed)

Start Date: As soon as possible(Message from the recruiter: The 12 month contracts are freelance contracts but these will be extended beyond the initial 12 months as this is very typical in the Netherlands to have 12 month freelance contracts. If the candidate is not a self employed professional its okay as we have a company called A2Z in the Netherlands who can employ and payroll them. I don’t quite know what the situation is with visas right now but they typically support candidates in getting their highly skilled migrant visas for the Netherlands.)
