About the role

Bizzdesign is looking for an Office Manager to keep our Dutch offices in Enschede and Utrecht running smoothly.

This role sits at the heart of the employee experience. You make sure our offices are well organized, welcoming, and ready for colleagues to do their best work.

You'll work closely with the Operations team, Management Team, and CEO. You will report directly to the Global Office Manager, and you have the opportunity to grow into that role over time.

This role truly matters: when the office runs well, everything else feels easier.

Based at our office in Utrecht, your impact goes beyond the Netherlands. You'll help shape shared standards, improve processes, and contribute ideas that enhance the employee experience across all Bizzdesign offices.

Please note: This is a full-time role, with the flexibility to accommodate a 32-hour workweek.

• You are proactive, organized, and hands-on, with a willingness to take ownership of day-to-day office operations and follow things through.
• You work well in a dynamic environment with changing priorities, and stay calm, flexible, and solution-oriented when things don't go as planned.

What we offer

• A base salary complemented by variable compensation.
• A premium pension plan to help you build a secure and comfortable future.
