As a Project Manager at AZL, you are the main contact for your colleagues in communication. You gather input from your communication advisors and critically contribute to execution. Then, you direct it to the right stakeholders and closely monitor important deadlines. You are a motivating link with a 'make it happen' mentality.
In brief
Key link in projects
You organize and coordinate all communication projects related to pension funds. You monitor deadlines, gather input from stakeholders, and ensure that everyone knows what needs to be done and when.
From strategy to execution
Where communication advisors focus on strategy and policy, you take over execution. You ensure that plans are translated into concrete communication expressions and that these are actually delivered.
You manage executing parties and internal 'anchors', think critically and provide corrective feedback where necessary. You motivate people, maintain oversight, and ensure projects keep moving.

AZL is a large and leading pension administration organization. We manage the administration and communication for about 40 pension funds with nearly 1.5 million participants. We do this with over 500 employees working from home and our main office in Heerlen, as well as an office in Utrecht. AZL is part of NN Group. Team Fund Communication consists of approximately 20 communication professionals, so you are surrounded by enthusiastic colleagues. You work closely with the permanent communication advisor of the pension fund, with communication staff, content specialists, and designers. Knowledge of the current and new pension landscape is a plus. If you know little about it, it's important to quickly acquire that knowledge. Of course, your colleagues – both within and outside Team Fund Communication – are happy to help you.
