Job description

About The Role and Team

The Office Coordinator will play a vital role in supporting Quantum Motion’s Office Manager and wider Operations team during a period of ongoing company growth. You will ensure that our London workplace remains safe, well-maintained, highly organised, and capable of delivering an outstanding day-to-day experience for our expanding team and visitors.

This is a hands-on operational role designed for an ambitious coordinator looking to develop their career in workplace operations. Initially, you will work side-by-side with the Office Manager, taking direct responsibility for defined recurring tasks across facilities management, vendor relations, onboarding as well as Health & Safety administration.

As the business grows and your capability develops you will progressively take ownership of increasingly complex operational workflows, providing a resilient operational foundation and building the capacity to run day-to-day office operations independently.

You will act as a key liaison across the business, collaborating with internal teams, building management, contractors, suppliers and external partners.

Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an employee at a scale-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.

Our team of 100+ is based across London, Oxford, San Sebastián and Sydney, with our primary hub in Islington (London).
