This is a hands-on interim role for someone who is genuinely plug and play. You know what a well-run office requires, quickly understand priorities and are comfortable working independently from day one. You will ensure that the office remains organized, professional and welcoming for our team and visitors.

As an international organization, we work across offices, cultures and time zones. You should therefore have proven experience in an international business environment and feel confident communicating with colleagues and senior stakeholders from different backgrounds. The role primarily supports our Schiphol office, with some remote support for our Dublin office.

• Welcome visitors and ensure a professional and positive guest experience.
• Coordinate practical onboarding and offboarding arrangements, including equipment, access and workspaces.
• Provide administrative and organizational support to the Executive Team and wider business.
• Coordinate meetings, travel arrangements, schedules and meeting materials where required.
• Support company meetings, office events, celebrations and employee activities.
• Liaise with the external IT provider and coordinate office technology and meeting-room equipment.
• Provide practical operational support to HR.

What we are looking for

• Proven experience working in a fast-paced, international business environment.
• A plug-and-play mindset: able to step into the role quickly, assess what is needed and operate with minimal supervision.
• A proactive, hands-on and service-oriented approach.
• Strong organizational and planning skills and a clear sense of urgency.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and coordinating across different teams.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Dutch language skills are strongly preferred.
• A high degree of discretion and sound judgement when handling confidential information.
• Availability to start preferably on 26 October 2026.

What you can expect

This is a hands-on interim assignment in a professional and international organisation. You will have the opportunity to make an immediate contribution by bringing continuity, structure and a high level of service to our office and wider team while we recruit a permanent Office Manager.

If you are an experienced Office Manager who enjoys taking ownership and can quickly find your way in a new organization, we would be pleased to hear from you.
