Office Support Assistant

Your professional experience is valued here
A welcoming and supportive setting where you can develop and make a real difference in the world – that’s what you’ll find at COFRA. We’re a family business, geared to creating lasting value and united by an ambition to change industries and society for the better. Aspiration and entrepreneurism are encouraged and rewarded with opportunity. Teams are diverse yet close-knit. Relationships matter. People matter.

The Luxembourg office forms part of an international advisory office (family office) providing tax, legal and financial services, as well as services in the field of asset and wealth management. The organisation is characterised by a high level of professionalism and integrity. Quality and service are key values.

The family office is a subsidiary of COFRA (full name COFRA Holding AG). Family-owned for six generations, COFRA is united around a common mission – to amaze customers and be a force for good. The enterprise cares deeply about people and the communities it serves, striving to have a lasting positive impact on society and the environment. Like-minded professionals throughout the organisation share in the family owners’ mission to make a real difference every day.
In retail, real estate and investment, COFRA aims to set industry-leading standards of quality while demonstrating that business can play a powerful role in society. This is not business as usual. Operating in highly competitive markets while pursuing ambitious community goals is the road less travelled. It takes an independent entrepreneurial spirit and the appetite to think and invest long term to foster fairer, safer and more sustainable industries.

COFRA businesses operate autonomously in a spirit of engaged entrepreneurship. The fashion retail company C&A is the oldest business in the group, dating back to 1841. Redevco, a commercial real estate business with a focus on retail was founded in 1999, and Bregal Investments, a global private equity firm in 2002. For almost a century, Anthos Fund & Asset Management has provided comprehensive asset management to the family, their philanthropies and various pension funds of COFRA entities. COFRA was established in 2001 to coordinate the global commercial activities of the family owners. Sunrock, acquired in 2020, is a leading developer and owner of solar energy assets in the Netherlands. Dalsem is one of the world’s major developers of complete, high-tech greenhouse projects. Canadian-based Ontario Plants, the most recent business in the group, is the leading supplier of high-quality starter plants for organic greenhouse growers in North America.
