Job description

Nyetimber is a pioneering luxury brand and multiple award-winning English sparkling wine producer. Our story is one of many firsts; we were the first to pioneer the now-established style of English sparkling wine; we were the first to grow the renowned grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in England exclusively for producing sparkling wine; and the estate where our vines were first planted, was first mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 by its then Anglo-Saxon name “Nyetimbraha”.

Quality is key to absolutely everything we do at Nyetimber and there is a constant strive for perfection. We produce exceptional sparkling wine, but always keep in mind that the reference to exceptional goes beyond wine, it extends to every touch point of the brand.

The Senior Office Manager is responsible for the smooth and efficient operation of our office and facilities, creating an exceptional working environment and visitor experience, which reflects the luxury and sophistication of our brand. You will also be responsible for developing and implementing office projects, ensuring that cost, quality, time is controlled and achieved. You will be an articulate, well-presented person who will be the face and voice of Nyetimber at our Head Office in London. In addition, you will be conscientious, discrete and have a keen eye for detail in every aspect of your role.
