About this role

Provide direct leverage to the CEO by organizing information, automating routine work, and ensuring that high-value tasks move to completion quickly and at a consistent standard.

Flexible hours with daily written check-in and asynchronous updates. Focused almost exclusively on supporting the CEO; limited interaction with the wider team except when required to unblock work.

Key responsibilities

  • Manage and continuously improve the CEO’s “operating system” (calendar, email triage, task boards in Notion / Trello).
  • Draft, edit and maintain crisp internal documentation, one-pagers and SOPs.
  • Build and monitor light automations in Zapier, Make or Google Apps Script.
  • Surface weekly metrics via spreadsheets or simple dashboards; spot bottlenecks early.
  • Prepare briefs before meetings and chase next actions afterwards.
  • Proactively challenge priorities when you see a faster or better path.
  • Required skills and experience
  • Native-level written and spoken English; Dutch is a plus.
  • Demonstrated mastery of modern SaaS tools (Notion, Trello, Google Workspace, AI copilots).
  • Ability to design basic automations independently.
  • Strong organization, bias for action, and willingness to push for clarity.
  • Startup or tech environment experience is advantageous.
  • Open to junior candidates who can show the above capabilities.

Candidate location

Hybrid Amsterdam preferred (remote within Netherlands possible).

Salary

•    Up €5,000.00 to gross per month on a full-time basis, plus 8% holiday allowance.
•    A pension scheme to which the company contributes 7.7% of the pension base (pensioengrondslag)
•    100% reimbursement of commuting costs if you use public transport
•    Provision of work equipment
•    24 days holiday per year 
•    Flexible working hours

The company

We operate a portfolio of discount-code portals and related tech products from our Amsterdam headquarters. The 50-person team is product-driven, processes are written, meetings are rare, and output quality is non-negotiable.
