Head of Office & Facilities (m/f/d)

About the job

Ready to shape the workplace of tomorrow?
At Sofico, the office is more than just a place to work, it’s where ideas spark, teams connect, and our culture comes to life.

 As Head of Office & Facilities, you’ll have the chance to leave your mark on every corner of our global workplace. This role goes beyond daily operations: you’ll shape the sustainability journey, drive cost optimization and lead strategic projects. For the roll-out, you can lean on our local office admins to bring your ideas to life.

Your responsibilities will be:

• Lead and mentor the local office manager.
• Act as a trusted advisor to leadership on all facility, office, and workplace-related matters
• Ensure a modern, safe, and inspiring workplace environment that supports hybrid working.
• Lead office investment cases (expansions, relocations, refurbishments) and present business cases to management.
• Streamline travel management balancing cost, sustainability, and employee experience.
• Develop and implement sustainability initiatives to reduce CO₂ emissions, energy usage, and waste.
• Monitor and report sustainability KPIs to management.
• Manage the office and facilities budget, including forecasting and reporting.
• Oversee and renegotiate contracts for major suppliers (e.g., office lease, electricity, cleaning, security).

Your interest and skills

You thrive in fast-paced, international environments and love turning challenges into opportunities. Analytical and strategic, yes, but also hands-on and pragmatic when it counts.

Stakeholder management is your playground. You speak fluent “C-level” and “coffee machine,” and you’re just as comfortable collaborating with teams in other time zones as you are leading a meeting at HQ.

What else is expected

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in Facility Management, Business Administration, Operations or equivalent.
• 5 – 8+ years of experience in facility, operations, or office management, ideally in an international setting.
• Experience with leading a team.
• Strong experience in contract negotiation, vendor management, and budgeting.
• Proven track record in sustainability initiatives (CO₂ reduction, ESG reporting, energy efficiency projects).
• Fluent in English (Dutch or other European languages are a plus).

What we offer you

• Competitive salary package
• Company car with fuel card/ charging card
• Meal vouchers
• Group and hospitalization insurance
• Yearly bonus (CAO90)
• Additional benefits: bike leasing and flexible working hours

Join an international, multicultural company with more than 35 years of experience, which doubles in size every 5 years. We encourage a horizontal, open corporate culture where career development and personal growth are central.
