Office Manager for Fun Loving Office in Mayfair (ID:15842)
My client is a very successful international boutique finance company, but the environment is very informal and social. They strongly believe that work should be fun and they encourage an inclusive and happy culture, lots of laughter and not ‘heads down’. There are 15/20 people in the Mayfair office where the feel is more start-up than traditional boutique finance.
I am looking for a people-orientated Office Manager to join the busy team and enable them to be more effective and the office to run like clockwork. You will need to have at least 2 years experience in a similar role, but you do not need a background in finance. You may come from a hospitality or media background, or other where the pace is fast and you have had to use your initiative and been an ambassador for the business, highly organised and enjoy being an integral part of a team. This is a very important role for them, they would like you to grow the role and make it your own.
