- Plan internal events and support the delivery of exclusive client events, from guest lists to on-the-day coordination.
- Oversee health and safety, access control and data protection (GDPR/DSGVO) in the office.
- Act as the first point of contact for everyday IT issues, set up equipment for new starters and maintain the asset register.
- Liaise with colleagues at head office and continuously improve how the office runs.
What you’ll need:
- Proven experience as an Office Manager, Operations Coordinator or in a similar senior administrative role, ideally in financial services, wealth management, a family office or another premium environment.
- Business-fluent German and English, written and spoken.
- Experience supporting senior leaders and managing external suppliers.
- Practical HR administration experience, such as onboarding, absence management and employee records.
- Advanced Microsoft 365 skills, especially Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle changing priorities.
- Absolute discretion and sound judgement with sensitive information.
- A polished, warm and service-minded approach, plus the initiative to work independently.
