Interim Implementation and Process Coordinator Partnership Unit  - Fulltime

Are you strong in creating structure, keeping complex processes on track and supporting clear communication during organizational change? The Partnership Unit is looking for a temporary Implementation and Process Coordinator to support the Unit Lead during the implementation of the new organizational structure. In this role, you will monitor planning, risks, decisions and follow-up, support communication and employee engagement, and document lessons and process improvements for the new organization. 

Where are you going to work? 

You will work in the Partnership Unit within the International Assistance division of the Netherlands Red Cross. The Partnership Unit is entering an important transition phase. In 2026, a new organizational structure was developed, to be implemented from 1 January 2027. The coming period will focus on careful implementation, continuity of services to partner countries, clear communication, employee engagement and a well-managed change process. 

You will report to the Unit Lead Partnership Unit and work closely with management, HR and colleagues involved in the implementation process. The role is temporary and focused on supporting a structured, transparent and predictable implementation process. 

What are your core tasks going to be? 

In this role, you act as a process coordinator and advisor to the Unit Lead. You help ensure that the implementation process is well structured, transparent and predictable. Your core tasks are to: 

• Coordinate the implementation process by monitoring the planning, phasing, milestones, dependencies and key decision moments. 

• Monitor progress, risks, bottlenecks, capacity issues and workload concerns, and advise the Unit Lead on follow-up where needed. 

• Coordinate implementation activities between management, HR and involved colleagues, including tracking agreements, action points and go/no-go moments. 

• Support clear communication, employee engagement and feedback moments throughout the implementation period. 

• Document existing process bottlenecks, lessons learned, role clarifications and improvement opportunities so these can be handed over to the new organization. 

This role does not include line management responsibilities, personnel decisions, determining the final organizational design, developing alternative organizational scenarios, representing specific function groups or interests, or replacing the Unit Lead, PSC, PDC or RR roles.

What do you bring?  

We value diversity – in background and experiences. We need people with various cultural backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and age groups to fulfill our mission. 

We are looking for a colleague who can create structure in a complex organizational environment and who works in an independent, connecting and process-oriented way.

You bring: 

• Experience with implementation, change or reorganization processes. 

• Experience with process coordination, planning and follow-up of actions and decisions. 

• Strong organizational and analytical skills, including the ability to identify and document process improvements. 

• Excellent communication skills and experience with stakeholder management. 

• The ability to work independently while building trust, alignment and engagement across teams.

• Helping is in your DNA. 

Your talents (competencies):

• Structured and reliable – you bring overview, rhythm and follow-up to a complex process. 

• Analytical – you identify risks, dependencies and improvement opportunities and translate them into practical advice. 

• Connecting – you help create clarity and dialogue between management, HR and colleagues. 

• Clear communicator – you support transparent communication and ensure questions and feedback are followed up. 

• Independent and process-oriented – you can advise the Unit Lead while keeping a neutral, implementation-focused role.
