  De Onderneming

  • Sector: Commercieel Vastgoed
  • Locatie: België, brede Vlaamse Rand 

  
  Onze klant is een vastgoedvennootschap gespecialiseerd in verhuur en beheer van perifeer winkelvastgoed in België en Nederland, gelegen aan de rand van woonkernen of langs invalswegen naar stedelijke centra. Zij verwerft deze onroerende goederen van derden of bouwt en commercialiseert winkelpanden voor eigen rekening.
  
  Het bedrijf is genoteerd op Euronext Brussels en Amsterdam, met een beurswaarde van bijna 1 miljard euro, en heeft het statuut van openbare gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap (GVV).
  
  Onze klant is marktleider binnen de niche van perifeer winkelvastgoed en had per 31 maart 2024 1020 panden in portefeuille, gelegen in België en Nederland, met een totaal verhuurbare winkeloppervlakte van 1.228.576 m². De bezettingsgraad van deze panden, gemeten in verhuurde m², bedroeg 97,89%.
  
  De reële waarde van de geconsolideerde vastgoedportefeuille werd per 31 maart 2024 door onafhankelijke vastgoeddeskundigen geschat op 2.028.317.000 mio EUR.
  
  De belangrijkste doelstelling voor onze klant is het samenstellen, beheren en uitbreiden van een gediversifieerde portefeuille perifeer winkelvastgoed, die door locatiekeuze en de kwaliteit en diversificatie van de huurders op lange termijn een bestendige groei verzekert. De vooropgestelde groei betreft zowel de waarde van het patrimonium als de inkomsten die uit de verhuring gegenereerd worden.
  
  Op korte termijn worden de bovengenoemde doelstellingen nagestreefd door de bewaking van de bezettingsgraad van de portefeuille, het huurincasso en de onderhoud- en beheerskosten. Door het selectief aankopen en bouwen van winkelpanden op zorgvuldig uitgekozen locaties (zgn. retailclusters en retailparken) wordt beoogd het beheer van de portefeuille te vereenvoudigen en de waarde op te drijven. Op dit ogenblik hebben zij een 80-tal clusters geïdentificeerd waar het zijn investeringen systematisch opdrijft. Deze vertegenwoordigen bijna 90% van de portefeuille.
  
  Sinds 2017 breidde onze klant haar investeringen uit naar Nederland waar ze zich ondertussen tot de marktleider in het Nederlandse out-of-town segment heeft gekroond met een portefeuille van ongeveer 680 mio euro. Dit heeft een belangrijke groei met zich meegebracht en het is de ambitie om de komende jaren verder in te zetten op internationale expansie.

  Management Consulting

  Consultancy & Advisory

  Permanent

  Introduction

  All over the world, the costs of pollution and the benefits of environmental sustainability have been recognized. Government regulations, investor interests, and local communities are all putting pressure on companies to rethink the way they do business.
  
  Sustainability has evolved from the production of politically correct CSR reports to a place at the heart of operations. It has become a core component of business strategy for many companies and the need to integrate sustainability across the value chain has been widely recognized.

  The Company

  • Sector: Management Consulting
  • Location: Belgium/Brussels 

  
  EFESO is a global management consulting group specialized in operations strategy and performance improvement and have been operating in the industrial environment over the last 40 years, working side-by-side with their clients to accelerate their transformation towards future-proof operations.
  
  The industrial landscape has become the arena in which sustainability will have a significant impact on people, profits, and the planet and they believe that industrial sustainability can be a virtuous circle that improves both business and planet. It drives the entire business plan creating better top and bottom-line growth, better control over the entire value chain, a better environment for people and a better future – with fewer carbon emissions – for the planet.
  
  Operating from their 35 offices, they deliver over 1,000 projects each year for clients around the world, helping them achieve outstanding business outcomes, and sustainable change. Together with their clients, they aim at contributing to a better and more sustainable world.
  
  At EFESO Consulting they work together with their clients to help them join their sustainability strategy firmly into the overall business strategy and ensuring it is embedded within the entire organization and that its implementation is consistent. They are helping their clients prepare for the future – today.
  
  Their approach, integrating value chain process optimization, digitalization, Human Dynamics and sustainability is: pragmatic in exploiting new technological opportunities, respectful, personalized, people-oriented, focused and committed to results rather than concepts. They cultivate long-term work relationships with their clients and their “tandem approach”, working “with” their clients - from boardroom to shopfloor -, and not “for” them, is central to their way of working.
  
  The success of their unique approach is reflected by a 90% client retention and an established and first-rate reputation with large, high-profile local and global players in various sectors, such as Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Pharma & Biotech, Cosmetics, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Utilities, Telecommunications, FMCG, Retail, Hospitals & Healthcare… and others.
  
  To support and accelerate their further growth and ambition, the EFESO Belgian Office is now looking to recruit a Senior Transformation Manager with extensive and complex program management expertise and hands-on experience with Sustainability.

  Role

  As an entrepreneurial and result-driven candidate, you are expected to pick up a role in business development as well. When working for your clients, you will look beyond the project, capture the unmet needs, and try to position EFESO to help the client. Furthermore, you will be developing new leads with your colleagues who are specialized in the same industry and/or expertise as you are.
  
  In terms of development and innovation, you will be part of both local and group communities, with plenty of opportunity to develop in your areas of choice. As such, you will be encouraged to develop your network inside the company group and to develop the working methods and certain leads at group level. You will also take part in the training curriculum of the company, which is organized at an international level.
