Office Manager

Why we need you

We have a wonderful team of currently 20 people and we’re growing. We are looking for someone who ensures our office is a great place to be and helps the team to do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

You’re in charge of managing the daily office operations (and yes, watering our thirsty plants is part of that). You’re also the one that will add more structure to our organization as the right hand of our founders. A fantastic opportunity to learn all the ins & outs about running a business.

Besides this, you will:

• Be the warm & friendly first point of contact for people who call or visit our office
• Support our founders by organizing their agendas/inboxes & taking minutes at meetings
• The guardian of the health & safety, and well-being of the team in the office.
• Organize diving/business trips for the team and support your People & Culture colleague with planning in-house & off-site team activities
• Manage office purchases & inventory (making sure we don’t run out of food & coffee ?)
• Ensure our office is tidy and organized & manage our cleaning company
• Coordinate mailing and shipping packages, pick up and organize mail
• We’re a fast-growing startup, so it’s likely that you get experience on many different projects across the organization.

Good to know: We’re currently also hiring an Office Assistant, with whom you’ll work closely together. They will support you and the rest of the team with various hands-on tasks.

What we hope you bring

• You truly care about people & feel responsible for making the office a great place to be
• You effortlessly write & speak in both English & German
• You’re a star in organizing & structuring
• It would be great if you already have experience in a similar role. That could also be a customer engagement, administrative or PA role

What we offer

• A salary between €31K and € 39K
• 28 days of annual leave
• A bright office next to a park with free organic coffee, drinks & fruits
• Free diving courses! ?
• Access to multiple fitness, yoga and other sports studios (Hansefit)
• Play a pivotal role in building our mission-driven company from the ground up
• Be part of an international & entrepreneurial group of people who emphasize diversity & collaboration
• Opportunity to learn & grow your skills and network through (personal) coaching and by attending workshops, conferences, international research projects.
• Good balance between work & private life with flexible working and home office hours

→ Research shows that while men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all the boxes. So, if you think you have what it takes but don’t meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
