Job Description

Are you the kind of person who lights up a room and loves creating a welcoming, organized, and positive atmosphere? We are looking for a Workplace Assistant to be the heartbeat of our Helsinki office. You will be the go-to person who ensures everything runs smoothly—whether it’s ordering coffee and fruit, setting up for company events, or helping colleagues with everyday questions.

This is not just an office job—it’s about bringing good vibes, solving problems on the spot, and making sure our workplace feels like a great place to be.

The position will initially be offered on a 6-month contract, with a strong likelihood of becoming permanent.

• Oversee equipment and systems (reporting issues when needed).
• Handle office supplies, including ordering coffee, tea, fruit, soft drinks, etc.
• Support onboarding by introducing new hires to safety procedures, office routines, and facilities.
• Act as a first point of contact for everyday employee questions and requests.
• Manage incoming and outgoing post and deliveries.
• Liaise with the landlord regarding office updates, renovations, or safety issues.
• Organize and set up company events and “All Hands” meetings (refreshments, seating, decorations, etc.).
• Contribute to HR activities as part of the HR team.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in office administration, reception, or workplace support is an advantage.
• Interest in cost-awareness (e.g., comparing suppliers for office needs).
• Strong problem-solving skills with a service mindset.
• Fluent in Finnish and English (both required).
• Driver’s license is a plus.

Studies have shown that women and some minorities are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every qualification. If you are interested in this role and you have most of the skills we’re looking for, we encourage you to apply anyway!

Additional Information

• A dynamic role at the center of our Helsinki office, with around 80–100 colleagues on site.
• A chance to be part of the HR team and contribute to people-focused initiatives.
• A supportive culture where personality and initiative matter most.
• The opportunity to grow in a role that combines office management, event coordination, and people support.

Benefits

• Comprehensive insurance coverage: health, leisure-time accident, and travel.
• €400 Epassi benefit per year for sports, culture, commuting, or wellbeing.
• Employee discount on the foodora App.
• 30-minute massage per month or 1 hour per two months with Fysios Mehiläinen.
