Research shows that while male candidates feel confident enough to apply when they meet about 60% of the requirements, female candidates only apply when they tick every box. So if this role has your name on it, but you’re not sure about the criteria, we still want to hear from you.

The complexity in our industry fascinates me every day. If you look at it from the outside, it might seem straightforward and simple. But this business has much more to it than meets the eye. It's not just about having a large product range and being able to get it to the right place in no time. That's something we need to have in place as well. But there is so much more.

Vacancy
With the Executive Leadership Program, Kramp puts together a team of talented former consultants. Over the course of 18 months, each of these Senior Managers will work closely with one of the Executive Board members solving the big strategic challenges Kramp is facing, whether it's about digital, supply chain, value chain, geographic expansion or something else. The Executive Leadership Program is a good first step at Kramp. It provides you with a full grasp of the depth of the company. The program introduces the Senior Managers to all the different aspects of the business and gives them a strategic perspective on the products, the markets, and the competitors. In tackling the strategic challenges, the Senior Managers report directly to the Executive Board which gives a lot of exposure. After about 18 months in their role, the Senior Managers take on leadership positions within Kramp most likely one level below the Executive Board. After spending their time in the program on highly strategic topics, this next step gives them the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and works from a more operational standpoint. Essential experience for a well-rounded leader.
