For this job you will be in contact with all teams at 3E and you will do your best to help our colleagues with their questions and inquiries. It speaks for itself you will handle everything with the necessary discretion and eye for detail. If you love focussing on numbers, problem solving and administrative work, this is the job for you!
There are key tasks linked to this role, of course, which won’t stand in the way of our ‘helping each other out’ spirit. We hope to find a candidate who can help us with following things:

Requirements
We are looking for someone with strong analytical skills who loves to work in an accurate, independent way. However, working closely together with other team members when necessary, will be part of the deal. There is a lot of freedom regarding planning the workload and tasks, so someone with good organisational skills and responsibility would be a great fit! Of course there will be deadlines, ad-hoc things coming up,… so some stress resistance is not an unnecessary luxury.
