This Will Feel Like a Fit If You
You are experienced in coaching, personal development, or running programs that help people make progress.
You are entrepreneurial: you can build systems, run operations, and grow a company from the ground up.
You are hands-on and self-driven: you can take an idea and turn it into action without being told what to do.
You are fluent in Dutch and English.
You are based in or near Amsterdam (or willing to relocate).
You care deeply about prevention, authenticity, and real impact.
You are calm under pressure, low-ego, and value intentional growth.
Why This Role Is Exciting
Total ownership: You are the founder the buck stops with you, and so do the possibilities.
Creative freedom: Design programs, workshops, and client experiences exactly how you think they should be.
Meaningful impact: Every client you coach or program you build directly improves someone’s life.
Growth potential: Build a company that could scale, grow, and eventually become a team starting from your vision.
Decision-Making & Authority
The founder values collaboration and shared thinking. Ideas are discussed openly, and input is taken seriously. At the same time, the founder carries final responsibility and therefore makes the final call when decisions impact the direction, ethics, or sustainability of the business. This balance ensures clarity, trust, and forward momentum.
Important Boundaries
This is a preventive coaching business, not therapy. Clients who require clinical care are referred elsewhere.
All work must align with ethics, integrity, and the company mission.
