Job description

About Us

We are the UK cross-functional creative hub of a global consumer appliance & wellness company, bringing together expertise from Product Management, Product Design, Consumer Insights, and more. Supported by international colleagues in Germany, China, and the US, our Keynsham Design Centre operates with the agility of a startup and the backing of a global brand. Our mission is to explore, design, and develop meaningful product experiences for consumers in their homes. To do this well, we need the right environment and the right support in place—and that’s where this role comes in.

The Role

We are seeking a proactive and people-centred Office & HR Manager to support the daily running of our UK hub, and contribute to a positive, organised, and inspiring workplace.

This role will support our upcoming office relocation, helping ensure the move is smoothly managed alongside the UK Site Lead, our global operations teams, and local partners. You will oversee office operations, support the employee lifecycle, and be the first point of contact for HR-related enquiries.

You will not be alone. You’ll work alongside :

• an on-site Design Facilities Manager, who will be responsible for specifying, building, and running the workshop and test facilities; and our Düsseldorf-based European HR, Finance, and IT teams, who will provide guidance, structure, and operational support.

This is a highly varied role in an evolving hub—ideal for someone organised, approachable, and adaptable, who enjoys shaping processes while remaining hands-on.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

OFFICE OPERATIONS & INFRASTRUCTURE

• Support our upcoming office relocation by helping manage logistics, communication, and smooth transition activities.
• Oversee day-to-day office operations including equipment, facilities, supplies, cleaning contracts, security, and waste management.
• Maintain relationships with local suppliers and contractors to ensure quality and cost efficiency.
• Ensure the Design Centre complies with UK health, safety, and workplace requirements.

HR ADMINISTRATION & EMPLOYEE SUPPORT

• Act as the first point of contact for HR-related enquiries, providing clear and supportive guidance.
• Coordinate onboarding and offboarding, including orientation, workspace setup, and equipment.
• Work closely with the European HR team to maintain employee records, support policy updates, and align processes across regions.
• Assist with recruitment coordination, training administration, wellbeing initiatives, and employee communications.
• Support travel bookings, visas, and expense submissions as needed.

FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION

• Manage office-related budgets, insurance, expenses, and vendor invoicing.
• Support the Finance team with local purchasing and expenditure tracking.
• Ensure alignment with global finance, travel, and expense processes.

HEALTH, WELLBEING & CULTURE

• Help create a healthy, inspiring office environment—with consideration for workspace ergonomics, flow, lighting, plants, and nutrition options.
• Promote an inclusive, positive workplace culture that supports collaboration and creativity.
• Organise team activities, seasonal celebrations, and locally led culture-building initiatives.
• Serve as a wellbeing advocate within the office, supporting mental and physical wellbeing initiatives.

WHO YOU ARE

We believe someone with the following attributes will thrive :

• Highly organised and reliable, with excellent attention to detail.
• Approachable, friendly, and calm under pressure—someone the team trusts and enjoys interacting with.
• Strong relationship-builder with high emotional intelligence.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, small-site environment where responsibilities are varied.
• Able to balance operational details with a people-first mindset.
• Confident communicator able to work with local colleagues and international teams.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years of experience in office management, HR administration, operations, or a similar role.
• Experience supporting office operations, facilities, or relocation activities.
• Familiarity with HR processes, employee lifecycle administration, and maintaining HR records.
• Knowledge of UK workplace compliance and vendor management.
• Experience with HR or finance systems (SAP, Concur, Workday, etc.) is beneficial but not essential.
• Interest or experience in wellbeing or employee support is a strong advantage.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• Pension and private healthcare.
• A modern, evolving workspace designed around creativity, collaboration, and wellbeing.
• Support from onsite facilities specialists and European HR, Finance, and IT teams.
• The opportunity to shape and influence how the UK hub operates as we grow.
