Finance Specialist (BE)

Do you want to contribute to the revolution in the waste industry?

We are Seenons, a tech company with a mission: a world without  business waste. Our platform brings together all players in the waste industry for circular waste management. This way, we help large organizations reduce waste and together we recover as many valuable raw materials as possible from business waste – on the way to a circular economy.

We have developed a platform with a corresponding app that finely matches business waste with waste processors who give the waste a second life. From the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, and Belgium, we are now working hard with 80 colleagues on our mission: a world without waste. But our team of Waste Warriors is not yet complete! For our team in Turnhout (BE), we are looking for a Finance Specialist.
