At Bakkerij De Paauw everything revolves around quality, reliability, and collaboration. Behind our daily bakery operations is an organization where orders, planning, communication, and administration must be perfectly aligned.

That is why we are looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Operations Coordinator who enjoys keeping an overview, can switch gears quickly, and ensures that everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.

What will you be doing?

As an Operations Office Assistant, you are a vital link between our customers, production, logistics, and administration. You will have a versatile role where no two days are the same.

You ensure that orders are processed correctly, information reaches the right place, and colleagues and customers can rely on clear communication.

Your responsibilities include:

We are looking for an enthusiastic, independent, and detail-oriented colleague who is well-organized and enjoys a varied role.

You are a strong communicator, a solution-oriented thinker, and you remain calm under pressure. You enjoy collaborating with various colleagues and clients and take pride in taking responsibility for your work.

• You have an MBO level of education and professional ability.
• You have a solid administrative foundation and work in an accurate and structured manner.
• You have a good command of both Dutch and English, both verbally and in writing. A high level of proficiency in English is an important requirement for this position.

• You communicate clearly, professionally, and in a customer-friendly manner.
• You are able to switch between different tasks effectively and know how to set priorities.
• You are stress-resistant, flexible, and solution-oriented.
• You are capable of working independently, but you are also a true team player.
• You show initiative and enjoy contributing ideas on how to make work processes smarter and more efficient.

Experience in an operations office, order administration, customer service, or a similar role is an advantage.

Do you also have an affinity for the bakery sector or the food industry? That’s a great bonus!

In a bakery, everything revolves around timing, quality, and teamwork. Every day, orders are processed, products are made, and deliveries are prepared. This requires strong organization behind the scenes.

As an Operations Assistant, you play a key role in this.

You aren't just handling administration; together with your colleagues, you ensure our customers receive excellent service and that our internal processes run smoothly.

You will handle a variety of tasks, interact with many people, and see the direct results of your efforts.

At Bakkerij De Paauw, you are not just a number, but a vital link in the team.

Interested?

Does working in a dynamic bakery environment sound like fun, and are you the accurate, communicative, and versatile colleague we are looking for?

Then we would love to meet you!

Bakery, transport and technology form a single chain. We work as a cohesive team: everyone plays their part to ensure the bread leaves the premises on time and to the right standard. Day in, day out.

Our team

Experienced staff with specialist knowledge and new colleagues keen to develop. We work in shifts, seven days a week. This requires discipline and flexibility, but it also offers freedom: during the week, you’re often able to finish on time. At De Paauw, you take responsibility. Not because someone is watching, but because you’re proud of the result.

Working at the highest level. Every single day.
