The Role
We’re looking for a brilliant organiser to take ownership of the day-to-day running of our Manchester office.
You’ll create a welcoming, well-organised environment for our team and visitors while keeping the practical details moving behind the scenes.

- Coordinate third-party suppliers, including cleaners, maintenance teams, building management, couriers and other workplace partners.
- Manage meeting rooms, deliveries, office access, equipment and practical arrangements for client and team meetings.

- Help meetings and agency events run smoothly, including room preparation, catering, refreshments and guest logistics.
- Suggest and introduce ideas that make the office more welcoming, efficient and enjoyable for everyone.
- What We’re Looking For
- An exceptional organiser who can manage several priorities without losing attention to detail.
- A warm and confident communicator who is comfortable speaking with colleagues, clients and suppliers.
- A proactive and practical approach. You won’t wait to be told when something clearly needs attention.
- Reliability, good judgement and discretion when handling supplier information or sensitive internal details.
- Confidence using technology.
- A genuine team player who enjoys helping people and takes pride in creating a brilliant place to work.

- The office is consistently organised, stocked and ready for the team.
- Calls, inbox enquiries, visitors and supplier requests are handled quickly and professionally.
