Support Services Manager

Join our team and take ownership of our finance and business support functions: you own the numbers, run our management rhythm, and lead a small support team.

We are a growing aquaculture scaleup with big ambitions and an entrepreneurial spirit. As we continue to expand, we are looking for a Support Services Manager who can contribute to the foundations that enable sustainable growth.

As our Support Services Manager, you will be part of the Leadership Team and lead our Business Support team: a finance coordinator and an HR & officer, two part-time colleagues. You build and own our annual budget, cash flow forecast and management reporting, while day-to-day financial administration is handled by the finance coordinator. And you keep the organization moving: you produce our weekly management report, keep project budgets visible before they become surprises, and follow up on open actions until they are done.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a small, fast-moving organization and gets genuine satisfaction from finishing things. You will have the opportunity to shape how we work by implementing and improving processes, bringing fresh ideas, and helping build a strong and scalable foundation for our continued growth.

Your key responsibilities as a Support Services Manager:

• Lead the Business Support team: our finance coordinator and HR & office officer (two part-time colleagues).
• Build and own the annual budget, cash flow forecast and monthly management reporting.
• Produce the weekly scorecard and per-project budget reports, and flag deviations early.
• Follow up on open actions across the organization until they are closed.
• Support the Managing Director and Leadership Team with financial, HR, and administrative insights to enable informed decision-making.
• Oversee and improve internal processes, introducing structure, efficiency, and scalability as the organization grows.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial and HR administration, together with your team and external partners.
• Support compliance with internal policies and relevant regulatory requirements across finance and HR activities.
• Contribute to the development of our ERP system (Odoo) in relation to financial administration and reporting.

The team you will be working with:

Landing Aquaculture designs and manufactures land-based farms and recirculation systems. We are a close-knit team of creative engineers and consultants who believe in doing things right. In our flat organizational structure, your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll drive real change. We value clear communication, integrity, and a collaborative approach in every project. As the lead of our Business Support team, you’ll work alongside the finance coordinator and HR officer.

You’re a perfect fit if:

• Background in finance, business administration, or a combined business support / operations role
• Approximately 5 years of experience in a management or senior coordination role within an SME or scale-up environment
• You build budgets, forecasts and management reports independently, and you like owning them
• You get real satisfaction from closing lists, and you are comfortable reminding colleagues, including senior ones, until something is delivered
• Proven track record of improving and implementing processes in a growing organization
• Experience in a technical, production, or industrial environment is a plus
• Experience working closely with leadership or executive teams is an advantage
• You’re proficient with tools like Microsoft 365, including Excel, and have strong mathematical skills.
• Experience with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Odoo systems is a plus.
• You’re a proactive team player who isn’t afraid to ask questions and take initiative.

—- We are looking for a permanent team member to join our company. While freelance collaboration may be considered, we ideally want someone who is looking for a long-term employment relationship and wants to become part of the team.

What we bring to the table:

• A part-time contract of 24 hours (3 days) per week.
• A salary between € 4,091 and € 4,862 gross per month (full-time equivalent, pro-rated for 24 hours), depending on experience.
• A comprehensive pension plan.
• 25 days of annual vacation (full-time equivalent, pro-rated).
• A hybrid work model (50% working from home).
• A top-quality laptop and all necessary work equipment.
• Engage with an international team on global projects.
• Be part of a growing company which is in a phase where we can still be flexible without bureaucratic politics, it’s a flat organizational structure and you can have a major impact on professionalization and growth!
• In our scaleup environment, you have the freedom to take on new tasks and grow into roles as you go. The roles are flexible, contributions are highly valued, and we encourage innovation and personal development.

At Landing Aquaculture, you won’t just be another cog in the machine. Your contributions are valued, your growth is supported, and your work will have a direct impact on both the company and the industry at large. We’re a scaleup with big ambitions, and if you’re excited by the idea of helping us build something great from the ground up, this is the place for you.
