• Own supplier and building management relationships; manage repairs, maintenance, and compliance
• Plan and deliver team events and workplace experience initiatives
• Maintain a high-functioning, well-presented office space - equipment, amenities, and services
• Oversee document execution processes in collaboration with governance teams
• Partner with HR for onboarding, inductions, and WHS compliance
• Identify and implement opportunities for improving internal processes and efficiencies

About You

• 5+ years’ experience in office management, corporate admin, or workplace operations
• Confident in managing relationships with leadership, staff, suppliers, and external stakeholders
• A proactive problem-solver with a high attention to detail and a can-do attitude
• Experienced in managing budgets, services, and multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Personable and professional - you know how to lead from the front and create a great team atmosphere
• Comfortable with MS Office and general office systems; experience with light project coordination a plus

Why Apply?

• Be part of a tight-knit, collaborative, and growth-focused team
• Influence the way the business operates every day
• Work in a modern CBD office with strong culture and leadership
• Attractive salary and professional development opportunities
• A role where your initiative, ownership, and ideas will be valued

This is a rare opportunity to shape the workplace of a successful, design-led business with a growing national footprint. If you love to lead from the front, thrive in a people-first environment, and bring energy to everything you do, I would love to hear from you.
