Executive Assistant & Business Operations Manager

Some executive support roles offer a much closer view of the business than others. This position is one of them.

Our client is an internationally established technology company specializing in advanced measurement technologies and intelligent manufacturing solutions for industrial applications, with operations across Europe, the US, and Asia. Working alongside the Chief Sales Officer (CSO), you will find yourself at the intersection of executive assistance and business operations. As the trusted right hand to an executive leading a global sales team, your interactions span countries and cultures, and your responsibilities extend well beyond traditional executive support. While executive assistance remains essential, you also actively coordinate business activities and keep priorities on track. The position calls for someone who understands how publicly listed companies operate, is familiar with corporate governance, and recognizes how different parts of an organization depend on one another. You need to understand business priorities and move comfortably between managing a demanding executive agenda and contributing to broader operational matters. The role offers a hybrid working arrangement, with regular presence in Cologne, in-person meetings in Düsseldorf, and occasional international travel.
