Job description

We are seeking an Office Manager to help us create and maintain an exceptional working environment at our King’s Cross headquarters. elasticStage is building the world’s first on-demand vinyl and CD platform, unlocking physical music for the Digital Creator era. By 2030, there will be over 250 million music creators globally, most locked out of physical formats due to high minimum runs and operational complexity. elasticStage solves this through patented on-demand vinyl and CD manufacturing technology, powering a free-to-use platform where creators can produce and sell physical releases worldwide with no upfront costs or minimum quantities. And we are scaling fast:

• 100,000+ creators are using the product within our first year of commercialisation.
• Aiming for 20X growth by 2027.
• Partnerships with SoundCloud and Amuse (with more major partners to come!).
• Shipped to over 90 countries.
• 4.7 on Trustpilot and Google.
• Recently raised new funding, bringing the total capital raised to £30M.
• Currently expanding our new King’s Cross office.

As our Office Manager, you’ll take ownership of creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy coming to one that feels welcoming, energising and reflective of elasticStage’s values and standards- while running like clockwork behind the scenes.

You’ll own the day-to-day running of our three-floor King’s Cross office end-to-end: keeping kitchens and office areas well stocked, managing suppliers and service providers, coordinating maintenance and repairs, organising company events, preparing for important visitors, and managing bookings. But this isn’t just about ticking operational boxes; every detail you get right shows up in how people experience their day, every day.

This is a hands‑on role for someone highly organised and proactive, who naturally notices when something needs attention rather than waiting for it to be raised. You’ll anticipate what the team needs, spot opportunities to make things better, and bring ideas to life, taking real ownership of the workplace rather than just maintaining it.

You’ll report to our Head of People and work closely with our existing Operations and People functions, who own our production facilities, HR and employee lifecycle. That clear split means you can focus fully on the physical office and workplace experience, making our King’s Cross HQ an exceptional place to work.
