About Second Front Systems
Second Front is a venture-backed company on a mission to strengthen global security by accelerating access to emerging technologies for the U.S. and our allies. Founded by Marines who saw firsthand how outdated government acquisition systems held back frontline personnel, we help commercial software companies get mission-critical technology into the hands of government users faster — backed by FedRAMP High, DoD IL2–IL6/JWICS, GovRAMP, UK MOD, and NATO authorizations. Our team is mission-obsessed, collaborative, and decisive, and we’re proud to be Great Place to Work® certified.
About the Role
Second Front Systems is looking for an organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven Business Operations Specialist to strengthen our regional operations and administrative infrastructure in the Netherlands.
This role sits at the intersection of business operations and people operations. You’ll coordinate employment, IT, and administrative workflows with the Head of EMEA and relevant global teams — translating deployment readiness and resource needs into workforce planning and operational staffing. You’ll own regional coordination, documentation, and issue follow-through across People Operations, Finance, Legal, IT, and Security, making sure deadlines, approvals, and open action items get tracked to completion.
Day to day, that means managing Dutch employment administration (contracts, right-to-work documentation, payroll inputs, leave, pension, and benefits), coordinating with payroll, HR, accounting, legal, and corporate-service providers, and maintaining regional operating records, SOPs, entity documentation, and cost-center information. You’ll act as the primary EMEA back-office point of contact across our Dutch and UK entities — the operational bridge between our regional teams, U.S. shared services, and external European providers.
