Banqueting manager WTC Amsterdam

Your workplace

CBRE is the world’s largest commercial real estate and investment advisor. They manage real estate in more than 100 countries, working on the real estate solutions of tomorrow. In Amsterdam, CBRE owns the two WTC towers. Vermaat is a proud partner in providing food and beverages at both locations.

We operate in a dynamic multi-tenant location with various tenants. Within WTC Amsterdam, we manage several outlets. For example, we have our restaurant, “Changing Dishes,” where we offer a unique culinary experience with daily changing cuisines, including Mediterranean, Eastern European, and Asian dishes. Additionally, we provide banqueting services throughout the WTC, offering vegetarian and vegan options, fully in line with Vermaat’s Foodvision 2027. We welcome around 200 guests daily, both business visitors and leisure guests, who come to enjoy delicious meals at our vibrant location in Amsterdam’s Zuidas. Working days are from Monday to Friday, with variable working hours.

Your team

With a large team of dedicated colleagues, we serve our guests across various locations: the restaurant Changing Dishes, the lunch spot Brood Baas, the banqueting service, and the Firebird Cocktail Bar with a view over Amsterdam! No matter where you work, together we ensure an excellent hospitality experience at this vibrant multi-tenant location.

Your job

As a banqueting manager at WTC, Amsterdam, you will be involved in the entire event process: from creative concept development and planning to execution and guest relations. You enjoy coming up with innovative activations that resonate with our target audience as well as the guests who visit us on a daily basis.

But that’s not all. You also enjoy being actively involved in the day-to-day operation. You support the team where needed and are happy to step in flexibly to ensure everything runs smoothly.

In addition, you are a natural leader who knows how to motivate and inspire others in a positive and approachable way. You are available during weekdays and have the flexibility to organize your schedule around the needs of the business. In everything you do, you demonstrate a strong sense of ownership: you take initiative, think ahead, and ensure the team and operation remain perfectly aligned.

In short, you are a key link between our guests, management, and team. A role that offers impact, creativity, and plenty of variety.

Do you recognize yourself in this profile? We look forward to meeting you!
