Office Manager

Office Manager – GD1520

£35,000 – £40,000 + benefits | Full-time (office based) | Flexible hours considered

A brand-new opportunity to make your mark

Are you an organised, confident and proactive Office Manager who enjoys taking ownership and making things happen?

Do you like the idea of joining a growing business where you can shape the role, improve processes and become a key part of the team?

We are recruiting for an Office Manager to join a successful and growing business specialising in the design and build of marquees and outdoor structures for events across the UK and internationally.

This is a newly created role, giving you the opportunity to bring your ideas, energy and experience to a business that is evolving quickly.

About the role

Working closely with the leadership team, you will become the central point of contact for the smooth running of the office, supporting the wider business and helping to drive improvements as the company continues to grow.

You’ll bring organisation, confidence and a practical mindset – someone who can spot what needs doing, take ownership and see things through.

The role will include:

• Managing the day-to-day running of the office and supporting the wider team
• Improving systems, processes and ways of working
• Coordinating administration across the business
• Supporting basic finance administration, including working with Xero
• Raising invoices, monitoring payments and following up outstanding debts
• Supporting payroll administration (with the option to outsource in future)
• Keeping records accurate and ensuring information flows effectively
• Helping introduce and embrace new technology, including AI and smarter ways of working
• Working with external finance support and internal stakeholders

This is not a traditional accounts role – you don’t need to be an accountant. We’re looking for someone comfortable with numbers, confident using systems and happy handling the finance tasks that sit naturally within an office management position.

About you

You’ll be someone who brings confidence, enthusiasm and a positive approach.

You might currently be an Office Manager, Operations Administrator, Business Support Manager or similar – or perhaps you’re ready to step up into a role where you can have more influence.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience managing or coordinating an office environment
• A confident and approachable communication style
• The ability to build relationships across all levels of a business
• A proactive attitude and willingness to improve things
• Good IT skills and confidence adopting new technology
• Experience with Xero or similar systems (helpful, but not essential)
• The confidence to pick up the phone, solve problems and have practical conversations when needed

You won’t be someone who waits to be told what to do – you’ll enjoy creating structure, bringing ideas and becoming a trusted part of the business.

Why apply?:

This is an exciting time to join.

Over recent years, the business has gone through significant positive change, building a more modern, collaborative and forward-thinking culture. The company has invested in its people, strengthened its leadership team and created an environment where individuals are encouraged to contribute and grow.

You’ll be joining a close-knit team with a strong reputation in the industry, including recognition as an award-winning employer.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary (£35,000–£40,000 depending on experience)
• Healthcare benefits
• A supportive and positive working environment
• The opportunity to genuinely shape your role
• A growing business with ambitious plans

Based fully on-site, this role would suit someone who enjoys being part of a team, building relationships and seeing the impact of their work every day.

If you’re looking for a role where you can bring energy, ideas and ownership – we’d love to hear from you.
