🎯 About the role – Office & Events Manager

At Aquablu, experiences matter. A lot.

As we scale and prepare to move into our 1,600 m² newly designed, high-end experience center, we’re looking for an Office & Events Manager who takes full ownership of this space and brings it to life.

This is not a classic office role. Our new office will be a true experience center — a place where we showcase our product to clients, partners, and investors, host events that strengthen relationships, and create moments our employees genuinely enjoy.

You are the owner of that experience. From how the space is set up and maintained, to how events are designed and executed, you shape how Aquablu feels — internally and externally.

If you love creating memorable moments, hosting people, and turning a space into a story, this role is for you.

What you’ll be doing

Events & Experience Center

• Take full ownership of our new office ‘experience center’ as a client-, partner-, and investor-facing experience space
• Plan and execute high-quality events for clients, partners, investors and our community.
• Ensure every visit to Aquablu reflects our brand, ambition, and attention to detail
• Make every event feel intentional, premium, and unmistakably “Aquablu”
• Work closely with Sales, Leadership, and Marketing to support commercial and relationship-driven events

Internal events & culture moments

• Organize internal events, team moments, celebrations, offsites, birthdays, and work anniversaries
• Create moments that bring energy, connection, and fun into our fast‑paced scale‑up
• Support a culture where people feel welcomed, motivated, and proud of where they work

Office & operations

• Full ownership of our office and day‑to‑day office operations
• First point of contact for employees, visitors, partners, clients, and investors
• Manage facilities, security, vendors, and suppliers to keep everything running smoothly
• Own lunch, snacks, tools, supplies, and the overall office environment
• Play a key role in our upcoming office move, from coordination to final setup
• Provide light PA‑style support for C‑level where needed

People, Culture & Growth

• Own the onboarding experience, making sure new joiners feel welcomed from day one
• Work closely with People & Culture to continuously improve life at Aquablu
• Jump in where needed and proactively improve how we work as we grow

Make it your own: This role is really what you make of it. Depending on your interests and strengths, you can get involved in any projects across the company.

Who you are

• You’ve got 2+ years of experience in office management, events and/or client facing roles.
• You’re organized, proactive, and love taking ownership
• You enjoy juggling different responsibilities and switching gears quickly
• You care deeply about people, atmosphere, and details.
• You’re comfortable in a fast-growing, sometimes chaotic scale‑up environment
• You speak fluent English (dutch is a very big plus!!)
• You don’t need to tick every box — what matters most is mindset, ownership, and learning speed

📍Full time & on-site at our HQ in Amsterdam

📍Start: ASAP

About You

• Experienced: You have at least 1 years of experience in Office Management or a similar organizational role.
• Structured & proactive: You see what needs to be done before it escalates and take action.
• People-oriented and operationally strong: You care about experience and culture, and you know how to execute.
• Comfortable in a scale-up environment: Change doesn’t stress you, you adapt and help others do the same.
• Hands‑on: No task is “too small” if it helps the office run better.
• Language skills: Speaking Dutch is a big plus - ideally you can communicate at B1 level or higher.
• Valid to work in NL without company visa sponsorship.
