What we're looking for
- Extensive C-suite executive support experience in a global or multi-regional business.
- Native or fluent Dutch speaker with excellent written and spoken English skills.
- A master of calendars, inboxes, and complex international logistics (you see conflicts before they even happen).
- A confident communicator with a track record of producing board-ready presentations.
- Strong leadership skills – you've managed teams, coached talent, and built cultures where admins shine.
- A sharp strategic mindset with financial and operational planning know-how.
- High EQ, discretion, and the ability to represent the CEO Office with integrity.
- Based in Zwolle (NL), with hybrid working flexibility.
Why this role rocks
