Job Description
Apesan is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of custom-fit automotive floor mats.
We design and produce high-quality TPE and textile mats for global customers—from aftermarket distributors to OEMs and e-commerce consumers.
We’re a fast-growing, family-owned manufacturing company with a practical, hands-on culture. Our team includes 10+ white-collar and 50+ total employees, supported by strong international partners.
As we expand our global operations, we’re looking for a dependable, organized, and resourceful Executive Operations Assistant to work directly with our Managing Partner and help keep company priorities on track.
Qualifications We Are Looking For
This role functions like a CEO’s Office position in a start-up — but within a dynamic, family-owned manufacturing and consumer products company.
You’ll work side-by-side with the Managing Partner to manage priorities, follow-ups, communication, and team coordination across departments and partners. Expect to work from a cozy office right in the heart of our bustling industrial site — where the real action happens.
You’ll handle diverse daily tasks, from scheduling and recruitment support to project follow-ups. Over time, this position can evolve into broader coordination or management responsibilities as the company grows and you grow with it.

3–8 years of total work experience, ideally in administrative, coordination, or operations functions.
Excellent command of English and Turkish (written & spoken).
Strong organization, multitasking, and follow-up discipline.
Comfortable managing both simple tasks and complex communications.
Positive, loyal, trustworthy, and discreet.
Proficient with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Drive).
Experience with Asana is a strong plus.
Prior experience in manufacturing or international company settings is an advantage.
Key Responsibilities
Manage the Managing Partner’s daily schedule, priorities, and follow-ups.
Support internal and external communication with professionalism and clarity.
Filter and prioritize incoming business requests and handle confidential information with discretion.
Follow up on priority actions assigned to direct reports.
Organize travel, meetings, and visitor logistics.
Handle daily operational paperwork (expenses, contracts, signatures, etc.).
Prepare meeting notes, summaries, and short reports.
Support recruitment and onboarding for team members reporting to the Managing Partner.
Gather information from teams and prepare status updates on priority projects.
Keep Asana boards and Google documents organized and up to date.
