Main Purpose of Role

Starting January 2026, this role expands our social media coverage across Benelux with a particular focus on community management for the Netherlands. As a Senior Social Media Specialist, you will be the primary contact within the Danone Careline for all customer interactions through social channels in Dutch, French and English. You will help drive our mission to bring innovative experiences, data-driven thinking and digital capabilities into a constantly changing ecosystem while respecting local nuances across Benelux.

In this new position, you will handle both proactive and reactive conversations for specific brands, providing best-in-class service to the client. Your responsibilities include publishing, monitoring and moderating social engagement, responding to and handling complaints received on various social and digital channels in line with our brand tone of voice, and ensuring that we meet strict service level agreements (4-hour weekday SLA) and maintain a consistent tone. Using Sprout Social and other management tools, you will schedule and publish posts, tag and categorise interactions, monitor performance and sentiment, and leverage social listening to identify trends, sentiment drivers and potential issues.

You will build, analyse and report on operational KPIs and consumer insights, collaborating closely with the careline team to merge customer service insights with social sentiment. Cross-training on careline macros and VOICE guidelines, you will help unify workflows and ensure seamless hand-offs between social and careline through a shared knowledge base and CRM.

In partnership with quality controllers, trainers and Danone stakeholders, you will ensure knowledge-base articles and training materials reflect the latest social media trends, algorithms and customer service practices. You will also support the preparation and delivery of training workshops and assist with monitoring consumer interactions to maintain high standards.

Skills Required

The ideal candidate will have:
• Extensive social media and community-management experience. You have at least five years' experience managing online communities for consumer brands and can demonstrate a track record of improving engagement, sentiment and response times.
• Native-level Dutch with strong French and English. This role covers the Benelux market but will primarily manage Dutch community interactions. Fluency in Dutch is essential, with working proficiency in French and English to support cross-country harmonisation and occasional tri-lingual moderation.
• Proficiency in Sprout Social and social listening tools. You know how to utilise Sprout Social (or similar platforms) to schedule content, tag and prioritise interactions, perform social listening and generate reports. You are comfortable adapting to new tools and automation features to streamline workflows.
• Deep understanding of social media algorithms, platforms and best practices. You stay current on the latest changes to algorithms, community guidelines and platform features across Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter and emerging channels, and can apply this knowledge to optimise reach and engagement.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills. You are adept at turning social data into actionable insights, building reports that highlight key trends, sentiment drivers and performance against KPIs, and presenting findings to stakeholders.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication. You can communicate clearly, empathetically and professionally across multiple languages, tailoring tone and messaging to reflect each brand's voice while remaining consistent with corporate guidelines.
• Collaborative and proactive approach. You enjoy working with brand managers, marketing teams and careline colleagues to harmonise processes, share best practices and support training and onboarding.
• Comfortable with flexible shifts and high-volume environments. You are self-motivated, adaptable and able to manage a demanding workload while maintaining high quality and compliance standards.
• Passion for innovation and continuous improvement. You're eager to experiment with new technologies, automation and reporting frameworks and to contribute ideas that enhance the consumer experience.
• Positive attitude. You believe that work should be enjoyable and that a fun, supportive team environment is essential to achieving great results.
