About the position of Personal Assistant to the CEO
Are you a proactive problem solver with excellent communicative skills? Do you have an eye for detail, and do you work accurately? Are you flexible, and can you switch quickly between different tasks and situations? Do you have previous experience in a role in which you supported the CEO? Read on because we may have the perfect job for you.
As Personal Assistant you are the CEO's right-hand man or woman, and you play a crucial role in ensuring that he can work as efficiently as possible. Your challenge is to take as much of his workload as possible, and prepare his tasks thoroughly.
In addition to the daily coordination of the agenda and handling the correspondence, you enjoy taking on many different tasks. For example, you organize the business trips in detail, prepare meetings, but you also do not mind relieving him, if necessary, on private matters. Moreover, as PA, you are an important link between the CEO and the organization.
You report directly to the CEO and you work closely together with your colleague. Together you form the executive secretary's office, which is responsible for supporting 4 board members; your focus will be on supporting the CEO. Due to the nature of the position, it is strongly preferred that you work in the office. It is possible to work from home occasionally.
What do we expect of you?
As Personal Assistant CEO at Huisman, you must be an organisational powerhouse. No matter how busy or hectic it gets, you stay calm and always keep track of what is going on. Your accuracy is unparalleled, and you take the time to double check everything. Your personality fits well with Huisman's corporate culture, which can be characterised as no-nonsense, informal and result oriented. You know how to easily make and maintain internal and external contacts, and you move around the organisation with ease. You are organization sensitive and have attention to detail.
Responsibilities:
- You optimally manage and plan the CEO's agenda, including coordination of internal and external meetings, business travel and events;
- You are the first point of contact for clients, business relations and consultants, as well as for colleagues, and you provide the CEO with timely and accurate information;
- You handle incoming and outgoing correspondence;
- You prepare, edit, and check corporate documents, presentations, and reports;
- Agenda, time, email, and travel management.
Finally, the skill "forward thinking" should not be missing. As Personal Assistant CEO you are someone who thinks not one, but eleven steps ahead. You have the ability to take all possible scenarios into account in advance and to come up with a well-considered solution for each scenario. Your proactive approach helps you to anticipate and solve potential challenges before they present themselves, providing valuable support to the CEO.
Wondering if you are 'equipped for impact'?

- Honest, discrete, energetic, accurate and structured;
