Job Description

Office Manager

Portsmouth based - 5 days a week on site

Open to contract (Inside IR35) or Permanent

Up to £38,000 per annum

Immediately available required

As the next Office Manager based in our Portsmouth office, you'll play a key role in helping us build the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace. You'll be the person who makes the office genuinely great to work in - owning the space end-to-end, bringing our hybrid working model to life, and making sure every employee who walks through the door feels set up to do their best work. This isn't a background role: you'll be visible, hands-on, and central to how our culture shows up in person.

Responsibilities:

Owning the day-to-day running of the Portsmouth site - from reception and mail to seating plans and internal moves - so the office hums along without anyone having to think about it.
Being the culture carrier on the ground: activating the space, setting the atmosphere, and making sure every corner of the office reflects how we work and who we are.
Planning and running internal events, social activities, and all-hands meetings that bring people together and make coming in feel genuinely worthwhile.
Managing vendor relationships and site budget - cleaning, catering, maintenance, security - holding partners to a high standard and making sure the office stays safe, stocked, and sorted.
Serving as the designated Health & Safety officer for the site, keeping all documentation, risk assessments, and fire safety protocols up to date and fully compliant.
Overseeing office supplies, tech accessories, pantry stock, and fleet logistics - so employees always have what they need, without the faff of chasing things down.Skills and experience:

Experience in an office management, workplace experience, or facilities coordination role - ideally in a tech or scaling business.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple vendors, projects, and priorities without dropping anything.
Clear, confident communication - whether you're dealing with a colleague, a building manager, or a senior leader, you know how to get the right outcome.
A solid working knowledge of UK Health & Safety requirements; IOSH or NEBOSH certification is a nice-to-have, not a dealbreaker.Disclaimer:
