- This position offers the opportunity to join the Belgian leader in its industry
- You will gain exposure to a wide variety
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.
Job Description
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.
