Job description

We're looking for a highly organised and proactive Office Manager to keep our Cape Town office running like a well‑oiled machine.

In this role, you'll be the go‑to person for internal requests — whether it's ordering supplies, coordinating repairs or planning team events.

What you’ll do:

• Maintain the office environment to ensure our team has a productive workspace
• Restock office supplies and manage all office deliveries
• Coordinate all office repairs and improvements
• Welcome clients and candidates when they visit our office
• Ensure that our team feels appreciated by managing all staff welfare needs, such as team treats and events
• Be the go‑to person for any special requests (like when the printer runs out of toner and everyone freezes)
• Assist our hiring team with administrative tasks associated with the recruitment process
• Welcome new team members and ensure their first week is exciting and comfortable

Ideal candidate:

• Based in Cape Town
• You enjoy working within an office environment
• Understanding and empathetic but also able to set realistic expectations
• Calm under pressure; you tackle challenges head‑on
• Exceptional verbal and written communicator
• Ridiculously proactive; you find solutions even when there are pieces missing
• Obsessed with the little details (so much so that this full stop drives you mad)

Additional qualifications:

• Resourceful and solution‑driven
• You care deeply about clients, guests, and especially your team members
• Previous experience in administration or office management is a bonus
• No recruitment experience required, but enthusiasm and willingness to learn is a must
