Office manager

 
At a birthday party, you would say: 
“Van der Maarel is the specialist in Event Styling in the Netherlands and beyond. We provide decorations, plants, furniture, and most importantly: ambiance. The complete picture. We work on renowned projects like Fashion & Beauty events. We also shine at events such as the Grand Prix and festivals like Tomorrowland. I work with a fun, close-knit team. We love a good laugh, but more than anything, we’re passionate about working hard to uphold our reputation.”

  • Keeping company policies up to date.

 

What do you bring?

  • Preferably, a completed degree in a relevant field with at least MBO+ work and thinking level (though dedication and motivation are even more important);
  • Knowledge of HR tasks;
  • Strong communication and organizational skills;
  • Stress resilience to keep up in our dynamic work environment;
  • A hands-on attitude and proactivity—we do it together;
  • Customer-focused approach;
