Location Coordinator region Drenthe

About Mediahuis

Mediahuis is one of the largest media companies in the Netherlands. With influential newspapers, strong radio brands, and innovative online platforms, we reach millions of people every day. Mediahuis Distribution ensures that newspapers such as the Emmer Courant, Meppeler Courant, and Dagblad van het Noorden are delivered on time to readers’ mailboxes.

Your Role as Location Coordinator

While the rest of the Netherlands is still asleep, you make sure that thousands of people in the Drenthe region receive their newspaper on time. As a Location Coordinator at Mediahuis, you are the one who keeps everything running smoothly during the early hours. You ensure flawless delivery in your area, motivate and support deliverers and distributors, and quickly resolve any unexpected issues. If a deliverer reports sick, you arrange a replacement—or step in yourself if necessary. With the help of our delivery app, you monitor your team remotely. You are also responsible for optimizing delivery routes and ensuring correct payment for your team.

You’ll actively contribute to recruiting and onboarding new deliverers, keeping your region well-staffed and ensuring deliverers feel valued.

In addition to your work at the delivery location(s), you will also handle administrative tasks—such as processing reimbursements, handling complaints, and maintaining deliverer records. These tasks can be carried out flexibly from home, whenever it suits you best.
