The role

For our headquarters in Nootdorp, we are looking for an experienced, independent, and service-oriented Executive Assistant for the CFO.

In this versatile role, you will support the CFO in a dynamic, international environment. You will manage a complex, internationally oriented calendar and inbox, organize travel and meetings, and ensure that appointments and actions are carefully followed up. You think ahead, set priorities, and maintain an overview, even when plans change at the last minute.

For substantive and business-related issues, the CFO works closely with a full-time Business Manager. As an Executive Assistant, your focus lies on the secretarial, administrative, and organizational support of the CFO.

Additionally, you will support the Company Secretary with various governance-related tasks. You will work closely with the Executive Assistant to the CEO, who is also the Team Lead of the Corporate Assistant Team, and with the other assistants within the team. In this way, you work independently in your own role, while simultaneously being part of a professional and engaged team.

What you'll do

No two days are the same. You switch easily between different priorities, maintain an overview, and ensure that matters are arranged well and on time. Your duties include:

  • Managing the complex, internationally oriented calendar and inbox of the CFO, setting priorities, and ensuring that important topics are brought to attention in a timely manner;
  • Organizing international travel from A to Z, including flights, hotels, transfers, and a clear travel itinerary;
  • Providing administrative and practical support, including expense claims, correspondence, document processing, printing, and archiving, and assisting with IT and facilities issues;
  • Coordinating signature documents and monitoring the entire process of signing, processing, and, where necessary, legalization;
  • Acting as the primary organizational point of contact for internal and external stakeholders regarding the CFO and, where necessary, coordinating with the Business Manager;
  • Organizing meetings and gatherings from start to finish and arranging the associated facilities and logistics;
  • Supporting the preparation and execution of Executive Leadership Team and Audit Committee meetings, including coordinating and processing meeting documents in Diligent;
  • Supporting the Company Secretary, for example with inbox management and the drafting and maintaining of confidentiality lists;
  • Working closely with the other assistants, acting as a back-up, and contributing to knowledge sharing within the team.

Hiring process

  • You will immediately receive an acknowledgment of receipt via our system by email;
  • If we see sufficient points of connection, we will invite you for an initial interview. Even if we do not invite you, you will, of course, be notified;
  • After a successful first interview, a second and possibly a third interview will follow.
  • If both we and you remain enthusiastic after the interviews, you will receive a suitable offer from us and we will gladly welcome you to Fugro!
