One day, you’re preparing a meeting for our Executive Board. The next, you’re coordinating with our organization in North America or Southeast Asia, making sure important legal documentation is in order, and helping our CEO stay focused on what truly matters. And in between? Chances are, you’ve already spotted three things coming before anyone else has even thought of them.

As Executive Assistant AAE Group, you work at the heart of our organization. You support our Executive Board at Group level. You are an organizer, a trusted sparring partner, someone who keeps track of commitments, and a familiar and trusted face both within and outside AAE.

Pushing technical boundaries

AAE is a high-tech family business based in Helmond, the Netherlands, where more than 600 colleagues develop and build high-tech modules, systems, and machines for leading companies in the industry. From the Netherlands (Helmond), the US, and Malaysia, we work every day on technology that pushes boundaries and on the continued development of our organization.

But no matter how international and technology-driven we become, people always come first.

What will your role be?

No two days are the same. You support the Executive Board (CEO, CFO, and CxO), with a particular focus on supporting the CEO in:

• Managing calendars, meetings, and stakeholders, including Board meetings, strategic sessions, decisions, and follow-up actions.
• Managing governance and confidential documentation, including legal and formal processes.
• Coordinating international communication, travel, and visits across AAE Group.
• Professionally representing AAE through presentations, communications, and other materials.
• Using AI and digital tools effectively to make workflows smarter, faster, and better organized.
• Keeping an eye on the human side of AAE, with attention to successes, work anniversaries, important life events, and personal moments.

And there will probably be plenty of things that come your way that are not on this list. That is exactly what gives you energy.

Being part of something great

Our technology makes the world smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient. But how we achieve that together is just as important to us.

Our culture is built around Ambitious, Can-do, Human, and Together. And as Executive Assistant, you experience and represent that culture every day.

You’ve got what it takes

You have a strong sense of people and situations, act with integrity and discretion, and are confident taking initiative. You do not wait for someone to tell you exactly what needs to be done. You think ahead. You make life easier for others, both organizationally and in terms of content.

You are comfortable researching matters independently, separating what matters from what does not, and turning your findings into a clear proposal. You move easily between operational matters, tactical challenges, and strategic topics. Between a formal document and a personal conversation. Between Helmond and the other side of the world.

And AI? You do not see it as something for “someday,” but as a tool you already use today.

For this role, you bring:

• A bachelor’s degree-level education and/or equivalent professional experience.
• Extensive experience in a comparable role supporting senior management or executive leadership within a complex, international organization.
• Excellent command of both Dutch and English, written and spoken, combined with a strong awareness of international and cross-cultural dynamics.
• Experience with or an affinity for legal and corporate documentation.
• Strong communication, presentation, and professional representation skills, with a sharp eye for quality and appearance.

This role is built on trust. You will have access to a great deal of what is happening across AAE and work closely with the people who shape the direction of our organization.

That is why we are not only looking for the right experience, but above all for the right person.

How we take care of you

At AAE, we believe enjoying your work is just as important as delivering results. You will have plenty of room to develop yourself and help shape this new role.

Based on full-time employment, we also offer:

• A gross monthly salary between €4,000 and €6,300.
• Annual profit sharing.
• 40 days off (27 vacation days + 13 ADV days).
• Commuting allowance.
• Access to the AAE Academy and plenty of opportunities to continue developing yourself.
• The option to work part-time, starting at 28 hours per week, preferably Monday through Thursday.

Together we move the world happily forward

Can you create calm when things get busy, think ahead before anyone asks, and at the same time make sure that AAE remains unmistakably AAE, even in the smallest details?

Then we’d love to meet you.
