Our client is the Belgian market leader in its sector, with a strong ambition to accelerate its international expansion. While recognized as a leading player in its industry, the company has maintained the agility, entrepreneurial spirit, and close-knit culture of an SME. With a team of approximately 20 professionals, success relies on individuals who combine ownership, initiative, and a willingness to contribute beyond the boundaries of a traditional job description.
To support its continued growth and strengthen its internal organization, the company is looking for a Secretary General/Chief of Staff with a solid legal background and a strong operational mindset.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the Secretary General acts as a trusted partner to the management team, ensuring that the company operates efficiently, compliantly, and in a structured manner. The role is ideally suited for someone with a background as a lawyer, in-house counsel, or legal professional, who enjoys combining legal rigor with operational involvement. You will be expected to move seamlessly between strategic, cross-functional topics and day-to-day execution. One hour you may be reviewing an important contractual matter, overseeing compliance obligations, or advising management on governance issues; the next, you may be coordinating an internal project, improving a process, organizing follow-up on key decisions, or liaising with external partners. We are looking for an individual who combines a helicopter view with a hands‑on mentality, who is equally comfortable thinking strategically and executing pragmatically.

- Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work.
- Is proactive and comfortable taking ownership without requiring constant supervision.
- Thrives in an SME environment where flexibility, initiative, and entrepreneurial spirit are essential.
- Understands that in a team of 20 people, everyone contributes beyond their title and is willing to step outside their comfort zone when needed.
- Is fluent in Dutch, and English. French is a plus.
