About the role

As a Studio Assistant at forpeople, you’ll be the custodian of one of our most important assets – our studio.

Your role is about creating a welcoming, organised, and inspiring environment that reflects our culture and values, keeping the studio running smoothly day to day, and ensuring it’s a place where people can do their best work.

You’ll bring energy, warmth, and attention to detail to everything you do, whether that’s welcoming guests, preparing a healthy daily lunch for the team, setting up meeting spaces, or supporting with travel, events, and admin. By taking care of the details, you’ll enable the wider team to focus on their creative work.

Who we'd like to find

Since 2004, we’ve grown from only four to over a hundred by finding the right people – people that don’t only slot right in to our studio culture, but bring something incredible to it.

This role calls for someone who:

Is a natural people person — You bring warmth, professionalism, and positivity to every interaction. From greeting clients at the door to helping a colleague with a quick request, you make people feel welcome, valued, and looked after.

Keeps things running seamlessly — You’re the kind of person who spots what needs doing before anyone else does. Organised, proactive, and reliable, you take pride in keeping the wheels turning and making sure the studio runs like clockwork.

Cares deeply about the experience — You notice the small but important touches that make a space feel inspiring and welcoming. From preparing a thoughtful daily lunch to ensuring spaces feel inviting and well considered, you know it’s these details that shape how people feel when they walk through our doors.

Rolls up their sleeves and embraces variety — No two days are the same. You enjoy switching gears and getting stuck in, whether you’re setting up a meeting, coordinating travel, or helping with an event. For you, no task is too big or too small — you’re all about making things happen.

Specifically, you’ll be:

  • Opening the studio each morning, ensuring everything is set up for the day

  • Acting as the first point of contact – welcoming visitors and managing calls

  • Keeping the studio tidy, organised, and reflective of our design culture

  • Preparing a healthy daily lunch for the team

  • Managing meeting room bookings and setting up spaces for meetings

  • Organising post, couriers, and shipments

  • Managing supplies and studio needs, ensuring nothing runs out

  • Booking and coordinating travel for the team

  • Supporting recruitment processes, including scheduling interviews and preparing materials

  • Assisting with onboarding new joiners, freelancers, and interns

  • Helping to plan and run events for staff, clients, and partners

  • Supporting studio infrastructure, equipment, and general maintenance

  • Supporting health & safety processes, acting as a First Aider and Fire Marshal

  • Providing day-to-day admin support to the wider team

What we’re looking for

  • Experience working in a fast-paced environment

  • A ‘concierge-level’ approach to hospitality and service

  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

  • Fluent in English and Dutch (written and spoken)

  • A proactive mindset and willingness to get stuck in

What we offer

People mean the world to us. That includes looking after our own, with things like:

  • Global clients and world-class work

  • A competitive salary

  • A strong bonus and benefits package, reflecting both company and personal performance

  • Training, support and personal career development

  • A generous company pension

  • A unique, inspiring working environment filled with incredible, like minded people
