Office Manager

Are you the kind of person who can keep an office running smoothly while juggling a coffee cup, a budget spreadsheet, and a phone call? Do you take pride in making sure things work behind the scenes, from furniture to fantastic catering? Can you manage facilities across three different locations without breaking a sweat? If so, then keep reading - we might just have the perfect role for you!

What You'll Be Doing:

Facilities Management:

• You’ll be the one keeping our Graaff-Reinet, Cape Town, and Centurion offices in tip-top shape. From office repairs to ensuring our furniture doesn’t just look good but feels good - you're the curator of a well-oiled machine.
• Whether it’s purchasing equipment or managing the maintenance of office equipment, stationery and furniture (because, let's be honest, we don’t want the coffee machine to break), you’ve got it under control.
• Reviewing quotes and generating Purchase Orders (POs) on the ERP system like a pro – no detail is too small for you.
• Managing the cleaning crew to ensure our spaces sparkle like they belong on the cover of Architectural Digest.

Office Administration

• Boardrooms, catering, equipment—oh my! You'll be the go-to for ensuring meetings run seamlessly, and snacks never run out.
• Onboarding new staff? You’ll make them feel like they’ve just joined the coolest office in town.
• You'll ensure we're compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards—because safety first, second, and third.
• Managing reception and switchboard operations across three offices? Easy peasy for someone as organized as you.

Catering and Banqueting

• When the execs need a catered function, you're the one who makes it happen. Think beautiful spreads, top-notch service, and zero stress.
• Need to collaborate with the Catering Leader to pull off the perfect event? You’re already on it.
• The management of 4 employee restaurants. You and the Catering Leader do it in your sleep.
• You’ll also ensure that all banqueting costs stay within budget (because luxury doesn’t have to mean excessive).

People Management

• Your team is key. You'll manage their attendance, performance, and make sure they’re all delivering at their best.
• You’re not just the boss; you're a mentor. You’ll provide guidance, give feedback, and offer on-the-job training—because growing your team means growing the whole company.
• You'll be involved in hiring the right people for the job, and making sure your current team is well-supported.
• From leave approvals to overtime management, you’ll keep things running smoothly while fostering open, communicative, and positive team dynamics.
