• Supplier & Budget Management: Take charge of supplier relationships, negotiate smart contracts, and diligently track office expenditures, working hand-in-hand with our finance team.
• Health & Safety Champion: Ensure rigorous adherence to all health and safety, and fire risk regulations. (Full training provided to support this vital role!)
• Meeting & Refreshment Coordination: Keep our team and visitors fueled by efficiently managing office food supplies and coordinating all meeting refreshments.
• Maintain awareness of and be compliant with information security protocols in relation to your job role and handling of any data.
