• A pension scheme in which we pay three-quarters of the premium.

• 20% staff discount and unlimited Upfront products for personal use.

• A private gym and wellness area with ice baths, sauna, showers, and changing rooms.

Upfront, the food industry wants to simplify things by taking the entire chain into its own hands. We started with our own sports nutrition brand, are now opening our Foodstores throughout the Netherlands, and will soon take production completely into our own hands as well. We build everything ourselves, from our products and stores to the systems behind them. That is only possible with the best people in every field, who take ownership of what they make.

We are looking for an Office Manager for our Campus in the Van Nelle Fabriek. Every day, colleagues, applicants, and partners walk through those doors, and you are the host of that place. You ensure that everything is well-organized at our headquarters and our other facilities, from the layout of a new office to the events where the entire company comes together. Upfront is growing fast every year: new colleagues, new teams, and new locations, and with every step, the question of how it feels to work here. You provide that answer. Our short-term goal: a Campus where every colleague and every visitor feels welcome from the front door, and a way of working that is so well-documented that every new location can adopt it.

You don't need years of office management on your CV. Perhaps you come from hospitality school, have worked in the catering industry, or organized everything from drinks to conferences in the board of your student association. What really counts: you are hospitable, you prefer to arrange things yourself rather than waiting for them to happen, and you are always one step ahead. Some weeks you set up workspaces for a rapidly growing team or ensure that a new batch of colleagues is well-received on their first day. Other weeks you set up an event for the entire company together with HR. You work for multiple locations simultaneously.

• Ensure that workspaces, office furnishings, and supplies are in order at all our locations, including inventory and ordering

• Manage facility suppliers and service providers

• Receive visitors, candidates, and deliveries, and be the first point of contact for colleagues

• Ensure that new colleagues have a workspace on day one and feel welcome

• Organize our internal events together with HR and our event manager

• Document the employee experience in workflows and standards, so that it grows along with every new location

• You are a fixer: you see what needs to be done and take action without anyone asking

• You are hospitable and communicative, with visitors, suppliers, and colleagues at every level

• You work in an organized manner and maintain an overview, even when things are happening at multiple locations at once
