We’re on a mission to become the go-to destination for students across Europe to find a trusted home away from home. We make every step of the rental journey simple and seamless, so students can focus on what really matters: studying, exploring, and growing.

With HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, and Studapart under our roof, we’re Europe’s largest student rental platform.

You’ll find us in Rotterdam, Paris, and Cergy, always guided by our four core values: Ownership, We are enablers, We are changemakers, and We are connectors.

Join us in empowering students unlock their potential through a safe, online, rental experience.

We're looking for an experienced Product Manager to build the engines that power HousingAnywhere’s growth.

In this role, you will treat our core business capabilities - from financial infrastructure to marketing technology - as high-value products. You will bridge the gap between technical complexity and business strategy, ensuring that our internal teams (Marketing, Finance, Sales, Trust & Safety) have the scalable tools they need to succeed. You aren't just maintaining "backend systems"; you are defining the product vision for how money moves, how risk is managed, and how our teams operate efficiently across our multi-brand ecosystem. You will shape how AI enters our internal operations -- from document intelligence to risk automation -- turning emerging capabilities into durable platform advantage.

Your role and impact

• Commercial & Admin Enablement: Manage our internal Admin Panel and other tooling  as a core product. You will build new workflows and tools that Sales and Managed Accounts teams use daily, exploring where AI-assisted workflows can reduce manual effort, and optimizing them for speed and ease of use to support high-volume operations.
• Growth, Marketing & CRM Infrastructure: Partner with the Marketing teams to treat our customer lifecycle stack as a product. You will define the roadmap for attribution, affiliate networks, and CRM integrations, ensuring we have the technical capability to scale user acquisition profitably and manage customer relationships effectively.
• Data & Infrastructure Foundation: Collaborate with Engineering to ensure our platform infrastructure and data pipelines are robust. You ensure our data pipelines are clean, accurate, and structured to power both operational decision-making and the AI models that depend on them.
• Financial Infrastructure: Own the domain of Payments & Payouts. You will ensure compliant, scalable money flows (pay-ins/pay-outs/billing) and build the tools our Finance Ops team needs for reconciliation. You will drive our move toward AI-powered KYC/KYB processes, reducing manual review while ensuring regulatory compliance across markets.
• Trust, Safety & Risk: Champion the strategy for platform integrity. You will determine the right product balance between high security (2FA, verification, anti-fraud) and low friction, protecting our users and brand reputation without hurting conversion rates. You will work with Engineering to deploy risk-scoring models that detect fraudulent activity at scale.

 Your profile

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of experience in product management, ideally in a Marketplace, FinTech, or SaaS environment. 
• Strategic Mindset: You're able to think strategically about the product’s long-term vision while also paying meticulous attention to the details of execution.
• Problem-Solving Ability: You're a true problem solver with strong analytical capabilities. You're able to manage multiple, often competing, priorities effectively.
• Cross-Functional Communication: You act as the bridge between diverse internal teams. You excel at translating complex requirements into shared goals; collaborating with Marketers on attribution, aligning with Finance on reconciliation, and partnering with Security on risk, ensuring everyone moves in the same direction.
• Outcome Orientation: You measure success by business impact (e.g., "reduced fraud by 10%," "improved payout speed by 20%"), not just by the number of features shipped.
• AI Fluency: You've experimented with AI tools in your own work -- whether for analysis, workflow automation, or product experimentation -- and you're motivated to go deeper. You understand AI well enough to evaluate what to build, buy, or prompt.
• Stakeholder Empathy: You view internal teams as your customers. You are skilled at saying "no/not now" to low-value requests to focus on the initiatives that truly move the needle for the company.
• Technical Depth: You think in systems. You understand integrations, data flows, and platform architecture well enough to spot bad estimates, ask the right questions, and push back when a proposed solution won't scale.
• Data-Driven Approach: You are data-informed, using insights to guide your decisions. Experience with event-based analytics tools such as Mixpanel or Amplitude is a big plus.

What’s in it for you 

• Unlimited paid holidays, minimum-based not maximum!
• Position based in our Rotterdam office with hybrid working policy (2 office days).
• Flexibility to work remotely for up to 2 months per year!
• 1,000 EUR personal development budget.
• Complete coverage for commuting.
• Personal equipment, including laptop and ergonomic setup.
• Gym membership discount with GoVital or OneFit.
• Dutch/English classes budget.
• Variable pension scheme.
• Diverse international community (46+ nationalities).
• Pet-friendly office in Rotterdam city centre. 
• Team-building events and after-work drinks every Friday.

JOB PURPOSE

This role is part of our Creative & Media team based in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Our team is a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from Creatives, Influencer Marketers, Brand & Content Strategists to Account Managers, Programmatic and Marketing Automation Consultants. Together, we blend imaginative storytelling and performance-driven strategies with cutting-edge technology to create engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Netflix, Canva, Foot Locker, Philips & Biscoff.

As a Media Strategy Director, you are the architect of the client’s media presence. You aren't just managing a budget; you are owning the Media Agenda. You will act as the visionary lead for one of our most complex global accounts, translating business goals into a sophisticated, full-funnel media roadmap.

You are the bridge between "the big idea" and "the big impact." You will navigate complex corporate landscapes to defend media investments, optimize channel mixes, and ensure that every Euro spent is a step toward market dominance. You thrive in high-stakes environments, whether that’s a global product launch or a real-time World Cup activation.

Key Responsibilities

• Media Visionary & Figurehead: Own the end-to-end media narrative for the client. You aren't just a manager; you are the strategic lead who defines the "Media Agenda," ensuring consistency and ambition across all brand and performance activities.
• Senior Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary senior point of contact for media strategy. You will navigate complex, political client environments with sensitivity, authority, and confidence, acting as a trusted partner to C-suite stakeholders.
• Strategic Communication: Present clear, compelling, and persuasive strategies to senior client management, expertly translating media complexity (attribution, programmatic fragmentation, etc.) into actionable business direction.
• High-Stakes Leadership: Take hands-on leadership of large, high-impact activations, such as international sports sponsorships or global brand moments, balancing long-term strategic vision with day-to-day urgency and knowing exactly when to zoom out or step in.
• Operational Excellence: Ensure media strategies are executable, prioritized correctly, and delivered with pace and quality. You bridge the gap between high-level "Growth Invention" and the ground-level reality of campaign delivery.
• Cross-Disciplinary Orchestration: Act as the vital link between media, creative, influencer, and tech. You will challenge teams and clients to push beyond conventional media thinking to create truly integrated, full-funnel experiences.
• Commercial Growth: Proactively spot opportunities to expand the scope of work into broader strategic territories. You will contribute to new business opportunities, organic growth, and competitive positioning for the agency.
• Practice Leadership: Help shape DEPT®’s global media propositions, developing best practices and strategic thought leadership that keeps us (and our clients) ahead of the industry curve.

What we are looking for

• A Media Veteran: You are a senior media strategist or media director-level professional with extensive agency experience. You have a proven track record of leading large, complex, and demanding corporate accounts on a global or regional scale.
• A Full-Funnel Architect: You possess full-funnel media expertise with a solid foundation in both digital and traditional media (e.g., digital TV/CTV, influencer marketing, and the interplay between creative, brand, and performance).
• An Integrative Thinker: You have the ability to bridge brand and performance, strategy and execution. Beyond media, you have a knowledge of crafts such as data, creative, and tech, and are capable of briefing and guiding experts in those fields to deliver a unified vision.
• A Stakeholder Navigator: You have excellent stakeholder management skills with strong political sensitivity. You understand how to operate within complex, multi-stakeholder organizations, building consensus and driving the media agenda forward with confidence.
• A Master Communicator: You are a persuasive, energetic, and inspiring communicator. You are a confident presenter to senior client leadership, with a unique ability to simplify complex strategies into actionable direction.
• A Pragmatic Leader: You possess strong process insight and prioritization skills. You have the critical ability to distinguish between theoretical strategy and what requires immediate action, ensuring that the most impactful work gets done first.
• A Connector: You are a natural connector who brings together people, disciplines, and ideas. While you lead at a high level, you are comfortable getting hands-on and leading from the front when a high-pressure campaign or "war room" moment demands it.
• You are fluent in both Dutch and English, capable of leading high-level strategic discussions in both languages.

WE OFFER

• Everything to focus on your health: from free bootcamp to yoga lessons, mindfulness sessions, mental health services, serious discounts on sport memberships, healthy lunches at the office, and above all: a safe work environment.
• Great fringe benefits; use of OV-bikes, an NS Business Card and many other goodies.
• You can discover even more employee benefits here.
• A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been named a Great Place To Work in 2023 - in the Netherlands and has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021 and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.

PIM/DAM Implementation Consultant

This role is part of DEPT®’s Design & Technology / Experience & Engineering teams across the Benelux and Nordics (BENO) region. We combine data, technology and creative design to solve complex business problems, deliver high-quality digital platforms, and create meaningful customer experiences for ambitious local and international brands.

JOB PURPOSE

As a PIM and/or DAM Configurator, you are hands-on in Product Information Management (PIM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) platforms. You translate well-defined business needs into clean, consistent, and maintainable configurations—ensuring product content and digital assets are structured, usable, and ready for multi-channel delivery. You thrive on execution: building in the tools, maintaining quality, and supporting clients and teams through implementation and ongoing improvements.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Translate business goals and requirements into clear, maintainable configurations in PIM and DAM platforms (data models, attributes, families, categories, metadata, workflows, permissions, validations, and rules).
• Convert stakeholder input into practical configurations: ask sharp clarification questions, validate assumptions, and implement the right setup in the systems.
• Support both the start of implementations (setup, configuration, migration readiness, UAT support, go-live preparation) and long-term platform evolution (continuous improvement, maintenance, and adoption).
• Configure and optimize product and asset governance: completeness, quality controls, taxonomy structure, naming conventions, roles & permissions, and workflow steps.
• Collaborate with Solution Architects, Product Owners, engineers, and client teams to align configuration choices with integrations, channel needs, and delivery plans.
• Ensure configuration decisions are scalable and future-proof by documenting key choices, conventions, and configuration logic in a structured and actionable way.
• Drive consistency across PIM and DAM: align metadata, taxonomy and usage patterns so product information and assets work together across e-commerce, marketplaces, DXP/CMS, and marketing tooling.
• Support operational stability: troubleshoot configuration issues, resolve data quality bottlenecks, and help teams work more efficiently in the tools.
• Contribute to commercial activities where relevant (e.g., supporting scoping with practical configuration input, effort estimates, and feasibility checks).

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience in a hands-on configuration role within PIM and/or DAM environments (implementation partner, consultancy, agency, or in-house teams).
• Comfortable spending most of your time in the tools: configuring data models, attributes, families, categories, metadata schemas, workflows, permissions, validations, and business rules.
• Hands-on experience with multiple PIM and/or DAM systems (e.g., Akeneo, inRiver, Bluestone, Salsify, Pimcore, Stibo STEP; Bynder, Cloudinary, Frontify, Adobe AEM Assets, etc.).
• Strong ability to translate business wishes and requirements into accurate configurations, with a clear focus on delivery and execution.
• Detail-oriented and quality-driven: you spot inconsistencies, prevent configuration drift, and keep the setup clean, consistent, and maintainable.
• Solid understanding of product data modelling concepts (attributes, variants, families, taxonomies, reference data, localization, channel-specific enrichment, completeness/quality controls).
• Understanding of DAM fundamentals (metadata schemas, renditions/transformations, rights management, usage governance, approvals/workflows).
• Comfortable in client-facing settings: you can align efficiently with stakeholders and delivery teams, communicate clearly, and keep focus on implementation.
• Strong troubleshooting mindset: you can diagnose configuration issues, support UAT fixes, and resolve data quality bottlenecks efficiently.
• Structured and quality-driven in documentation: you can capture decisions, conventions, and configurations in a way that others can actually use.
• Nice to have: basic understanding of integrations and surrounding ecosystems (ERP, e-commerce CMS/DXP, search, feeds, middleware/API patterns), mainly to configure with dependencies in mind.
• Curiosity and appetite for using AI responsibly to speed up repetitive configuration work, analysis, mapping, and documentation.
• Working proficiency in English
• Working proficiency in Dutch is a plus
  
  

WE OFFER

• A flexible, hybrid working policy (2 days from the office, depending on location).
