Head of ******* Everything aka Office Manager

What will you do as Head of ******* Everything?
Are you a multitasking marvel? A natural-born chaos whisperer? Someone whose superpower is catching all the dropped balls without breaking a sweat (or a smile)? Well, hello there, unicorn—because we’re looking for you! We’re on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind human who can wear a ridiculous number of hats (sometimes simultaneously) and keep our office humming like a finely tuned machine. You’re our “plus” and our “minus”. If structure is your jam, and proactivity your middle name, read on. If you’re waiting for someone to tell you what to do every day… we’re going to be honest—this probably isn’t the gig for you 😉.

Imagine being the spider in the web, the wind beneath our wings, the ying to our yang. Got the vibe? We’re growing fast at Big Ass Battery—which means sometimes things get a little… chaotic. You’ll be the one bringing order to the madness and making it all look easy. Here are some of the fabulous hats you might wear:

• Chief First Impressions — You’re the smile that welcomes visitors. Awkward silences? Never heard of ’em
• Connection Magician — Whether it’s incoming phone calls, post, or that mysterious “info@” inbox, you route it all with Harry Potter-level finesse
• Agenda Guru — Calendar chaos? Not on your watch. Bigger meetings flow like magic when you’re in charge— smooth, and always on time
• Digital Prince(ss) — Filing, copying, organizing, sending out documents and digitizing, all done with flair
• Supply Superstar — Coffee? Check. Pens? Check. Company hoodies and Friday beers? Double check. You’re the reason we never run out
• Event Maestro/Maestra — Friday drinks, legendary parties, quarterly team sessions—you’re the secret behind all the BAB magic. Champagne, confetti, and good vibes included
• Onboarding Hero — New team member? You’ve already got the laptop, desk, swag, and warm welcome ready. You make Day One feel like home
• IT Sidekick —  Need a laptop set up or tech support with our external IT wizard? You’re already on it
• Office Overlord - Together with our canteen Queen Noortje and our housekeeper, you keep our HQ shining. Meeting rooms are spotless and perfectly prepped for important guests
• Chief Creativity - Think you need a big budget to make a big impact? Think again. Whether it’s jazzing up the office for a themed Friday, finding a clever way to celebrate a team win, or adding that special touch to an onboarding package—you’re a creative force of nature. Pinterest, thrift shops, Canva… you know how to make magic with limited means

We’re looking for someone who brings positive energy wherever they go. You’re proactive, curious, unafraid of a little (or a lot of) “creative chaos,” and always ready to get sh*t done.

About Big Ass Battery 🔋
We are Big Ass Battery; a fast-growing scale-up in the premier league of the energy transition. We build energy storage systems at the highest level: from battery cell to complete 10ft battery containers. Big Ass Battery is a Dutch company and we are located in Helmond. We didn't fit in our previous office anymore so that is why we traded up in november 2023 to our new facility of 15.000 m2 and a total surface of 41.775 m2! When you join our team, you not only contribute to the production of batteries, but you also contribute to the growth of a company with big ass ambitions. Our batteries are an important part of the solution to the current challenges we face in the energy transition. For example, you can place a Big Ass Battery at an event location or for charging electric cars. Or on a construction site where a sustainable company wants to use electric excavators and other power tools. Companies can even link a revenue model to the use of the Big Ass Battery. Agricultural companies, for example, use the Big Ass Battery for solar energy storage. In short, plenty of possibilities.
