What are you going to do?
As an online specialist you are literally the spider in the web. No day is the same. You ensure that information on www.alphenaandenrijn.nl and other digital applications is presented in a findable and accessible manner. One moment you’re busy writing web texts.

You understand the interplay of different channels and what it takes to offer online visitors a correct customer journey.
