The Role in a Nutshell We are looking for a proactive, high-energy Office & Engagement Manager to be the heartbeat of our London headquarters. This role focuses on creating a world-class environment where our team feels inspired, supported, and productive. You will own the London office end-to-end, acting as the go-to person for all local operations and employee experience in the office.

Your goal is to streamline our physical space and administrative processes, ensuring founders and leadership can focus on scaling the business while you ensure the engine room runs smoothly in our London office.

• Office Operations & Facility Management:
  End-to-End Ownership of the daily running of the London office, including access control, maintenance, and building management relationships.
• Vendor Management:
  Source and manage external suppliers (cleaning, catering, repairs, events suppliers) and proactively seek upgrades to the office environment.
• Supplies & Perks:
  Run the daily office engine, ordering breakfast, managing plant care, and ensuring office supplies are always stocked.
• Space Planning:
  Own the seating plan and desk allocations, ensuring the layout evolves as the team grows.
• Employee Experience & Onboarding:
  Lead in-office onboarding, including office tours, access setup, and ensuring every new hire’s desk is day-one ready.
• Offboarding:
  Manage the physical logistics of offboarding, ensuring equipment is returned and access is revoked smoothly.
• The Go-To Resource:
  Triage and resolve all team queries related to the workspace, acting as a buffer for the Founders and Biz Ops teams.
• Events & Engagement:
  Lead the administration and on-the-day delivery for team events, from weekly socials to major milestones.
• Culture Building:
  Partner with the People team to ensure the office vibe reflects our values and keeps morale high.
• Logistics & Business Operations:
  Travel coordination (with focus on US cohort trips), IT liaison with the Head of IT for local equipment logistics, and centralized admin tasks to professionalize operations.
• Process Architecture:
  Create clear, repeatable, documented workplace processes and build the Office Playbook for future global locations.

• The Fixer Mentality:
  Resourceful and solutions-oriented; nothing is too small to handle.
• Exceptional Organizer:
  Able to coordinate travel or fix a coffee machine without losing composure.
• Hospitality Mindset:
  You genuinely enjoy helping people and making their workday easier.
• Tech Savvy:
  Comfortable with basic IT troubleshooting and familiar with Slack, Google Workspace, and HRIS systems.
• Process-Driven:
  You love SOPs and turning chaos into repeatable systems.

This is a unique opportunity to define workplace culture at a growing company. You’ll have a high degree of autonomy to upgrade our environment and be a foundational member of the Operations team.
