Our iconic brands (e.g. Colgate, Palmolive, Ajax, Sanex), dedicated employees and sustainability commitments make us a company passionate about building a future to smile about for our employees, consumers and surrounding communities.  

As the Front Office Manager you will be responsible for the general operation of our office  for Colgate-Palmolive Netherlands in Weesp (Amsterdam). It is a facilitating, but also representative role, with both organizing as well as administrative tasks.

What You’ll Do

• Provide back-office support to our Professional Oral Care team (webshop), as well as our external Consumer Affairs call center.

• Support the local leadership team with various tasks and organize local events whether on or off-site - throughout the year 

• Responsibility for our overall office environment in the broadest meaning of the word: purchasing office supplies and equipment and taking proper inventory ensuring a great workplace to smile about 

Communication, as well as keeping and following-up on appointments is important, as you will work with quite a few external and internal service providers and government services such as the building proprietor, the cleaning company, internal Colgate IT department,  maintenance companies, health authorities, etc. 

Furthermore there’s a great opportunity to discover the ‘people’ side of the company as there’s a wide range of (ad-hoc) support activities inside our HR department this person can be involved in as well. 

Overall it’s a great role for an energetic person who loves to connect with others and be a part of the different workings within the organization and aims to  make sure everything runs smoothly.
