Amsterdam (Hybrid), employment or freelance, Full-time

We are looking for an energetic and highly organised Office and Operations Manager to become a key part of our day-to-day business.

This is not a traditional office management position. You will work closely with our Founder and COO, help keep the company organised behind the scenes and make sure that both the team and our customers receive the support they need.

You will be at the centre of the organisation: bringing structure, solving problems and helping the business move forward.

The Role

As our Office and Operations Manager, you will support different areas of the company. Your responsibilities will range from administration and customer care to team coordination and HR support.

No two days will be exactly the same. One moment you may be helping the Founder prepare for an important meeting, and the next you may be solving a customer issue, updating internal documents or supporting the COO with operational priorities.

You understand what needs to happen, take ownership and do not wait to be told every next step.

Who You Are

You are sharp, hands-on and naturally organised. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and feel comfortable taking responsibility.

You are someone who sees what needs to be done and takes action. You can switch easily between details and the bigger picture, and you remain calm when several priorities come together at once.

Experience in office management, executive assistance, operations, customer care, HR or e-commerce is preferred. However, your mindset, energy and ability to learn quickly are equally important.

What We Offer

A central role within a fast-growing international fashion brand

The opportunity to work closely with the Founder and COO

An ambitious and international team across Amsterdam and Paris

A varied position with responsibility from day one

The opportunity to shape the role as the company grows
