Office Manager

Overview

Location: Haggerston, London E8 – approximately 2 minutes from Haggerston Station
Hours: Full-time, office based, 5 days per week

We are looking for an experienced and organised Office Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of our busy London office.

This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys keeping an office organised, making sure tasks are followed through and supporting colleagues across different areas of the business. You will also supervise a part-time Office Administrator.

As this is a fully office-based role, it would particularly suit someone who lives locally to Haggerston or within an easy and reliable commute of the office.

What you'll be doing

• Managing the day-to-day running of the office and dealing with general office queries
• Supervising and coordinating the workload of the part-time Office Administrator
• Managing incoming and outgoing post, couriers and important documentation
• Maintaining office records, trackers, procedures and filing systems
• Managing property keys and fobs and keeping accurate issue and return records
• Ordering stationery, refreshments and other office supplies
• Liaising with suppliers and contractors and coordinating office maintenance
• Supporting the ordering and allocation of IT equipment, mobile phones and SIM cards
• Assisting with recruitment administration, interviews, new starters and leavers
• Coordinating meeting rooms, staff meetings, training and events
• Supporting office health and safety administration and required checks
• Helping improve office systems and processes to keep the office organised and running efficiently

What we're looking for

You must have at least one year's direct office management experience.

You will also need:

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• The ability to manage several priorities and deadlines independently
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word and Excel
• Experience dealing with suppliers, purchasing and office administration
• A proactive and practical approach to problem solving
• The ability to handle confidential information appropriately
• Reliable attendance and the ability to work from our Haggerston office five days per week
• Ideally, be based locally or within an easy commute of Haggerston

Two or more years' office management experience would be an advantage, particularly within property, block management or another professional services environment.

Experience using systems such as SharePoint, DocuSign, Dwellant or Qube would also be useful but is not essential.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in being organised, enjoys taking ownership of their work and can become a reliable central point of contact for the office.

Pay: £30,000.00-£35,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
