Executive Assistant

As an Executive Assistant, you are the central point of coordination in our organization. You support the CEO and MT professionally, ensure smooth daily operations, and keep an overview of priorities and follow-up actions. You are discreet, proactive, and people-oriented, the steady presence that keeps our leadership running smoothly. You do not have to do this alone as you will form a team together with the Office Assistant. You will coordinate the workload for the both of you and act as phone on-call backup when needed.

What will you do

• Provide direct support to the CEO, including calendar management, meeting preparation, prioritization and correspondence.

• Support the Management Team by organizing meetings, drafting agendas, taking minutes and ensuring follow-up on action points.

• Prepare and document Supervisory Board (RvC) meetings, including accurate minutes and coordination of related documents and actions.

• Supervise and coach the Office Assistant to ensure effective collaboration and task execution.

• Maintain professional contact with internal and external stakeholders at executive level.

• Organize company-wide meetings and quarterly sessions.

• Identify and implement improvements in processes, communication and administrative support using tools like ChatGPT and AI to enhance efficiency. You are comfortable adopting new AI solutions.
