Chief of Staff

Ready to own real outcomes and not just the deck? Join Holie’s as Chief of Staff and help shape the next chapter of the world’s healthiest cereal brand.

As Chief of Staff, you’ll work directly with our founders and leadership team at the heart of Holie’s growth. You’ll lead high-impact strategic projects like new market expansion while keeping the organization sharp, aligned, and moving fast. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, and who wants to leave a real mark on a fast-growing challenger brand.

In 2018 Holie’s set out on the mission to challenge the food industry with bold, better and healthier cereal and bar alternatives. Today we’re active in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and a growing list of export markets. In this role you’ll work directly with our founders and leadership team to help Holie’s scale globally.

• Strategic Projects: You are the driving force behind the big, cross-functional projects, think expansion into new markets like France, DACH and the US, global-local brand strategy, and major people & culture initiatives. You bring structure, momentum and follow-through from start to finish.
• Fundraising & Investor Relations: You play a central role in potential fundraising efforts, updating and upgrading our investor deck, translating Holie’s strategy into compelling stories, and preparing and supporting investor meetings.
• Operating Cadence: You set up and manage the company rhythm, including goalsetting, meeting rhythm, leadership meeting preparation, and organization offsites. To help the organization stay aligned, move in the right direction, while maintaining autonomy.
• Thought Partner: You work closely with the founders and leadership team as a trusted thought partner on complex strategic and operational decisions. You’ll help structure challenges, bring clarity to priorities and challenge ideas when needed.

• You have experience at a top-tier strategy consultancy, preferably with experience in FMCG.
• Fluent in English.
• Strategic thinking: You can take ambitious, messy ideas and transform them into understandable content.
• Data-driven: You love data and know how to use it to make smarter decisions and build stronger plans.
• Strong executing skills: You turn plans into action, move quickly without losing focus, and follow through until results are delivered.
• People-oriented: You have strong relationships and stakeholder management skills, and bring curiosity, positivity, and playful energy in every interaction.
• Trusted: You know how to handle sensitive information carefully and can be trusted with confidential matters.

• Diversity of work: You’ll work across strategy and execution, driving high-impact projects, supporting company-wide priorities, identifying growth opportunities, and working closely with all teams to help Holie’s scale effectively.
• Collaborative team: You won’t be alone in this. You will report to our founder and CEO Merick Schoute, and work closely together with our global Leadership team. We like to keep the lines short, fast and dynamic.
• Growth opportunity: As we grow, you’ll have the opportunity to grow with us. We love to promote from within and help our team members reach the next level.
