Why Interfood?
At Interfood, you have the opportunity to really make an impact in an ambitious, challenging and professional environment. Teamwork is the basis of how we work together, and I enjoy being part of this young and driven team in a dynamic international market where we continuously challenge ourselves to improve every day. Besides working hard, there is also room for private life and fun activities together, such as sports events, team weekends, or an afternoon walk with colleagues. What also makes Interfood special to me are the growth opportunities. I started myself as a Junior Financial Controller after my studies and am now the manager of the Financial Control team of Interfood BV in Bladel. Along the way, I also got the opportunity to complete an Executive Master in Finance and Control. If you work hard and show initiative, you truly get opportunities to grow and develop yourself.

What do you expect from your new colleague?
We are looking for a talented and ambitious team player who is eager to learn and quickly picks up new things. Someone who sees challenges as opportunities and proactively looks for ways to solve or improve them. Strong analytical skills and an affinity with numbers are essential in this role. In addition, it is important to have the drive to challenge the status quo and communicate ideas in an effective and professional way. Working within Financial Control also requires precision, attention to detail, and a structured way of working. Combined with a proactive mindset and strong team spirit, these qualities are key to being successful within the team.

What do you do in your spare time?
In my spare time, I enjoy staying active by joining the gym classes at our office gym, attending barre classes outside of work, or going for a run during the weekend. Besides being active, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, whether that is on a sunny terrace, during long dinners with good food and drinks, or while travelling and exploring new places.
