Office Manager

As our Office Manager / Team Assistant, you'll be the heartbeat of our new office  and the trusted enabler for Ola, one of our partners who leads day‑to‑day operations. 

Our venture capital firm is small, ambitious and people‑focused; you'll combine a warm welcome at the front door with professional hands‑on administrative support behind the scenes. You'll manage everything from organising the office, tools and travel to HR admin and onboarding, always keeping an eye out for how to make our team's experience better. Some days will be deep in spreadsheets or expense reports; others will involve arranging travel, planning team lunches or making sure our guests feel at home. Throughout, you'll be trusted to spot issues before anyone else, fix them independently and keep us moving forward.

What you will do

• Own the office operations. Be our go‑to person for everything office related - from welcoming guests and handling mail to managing conference rooms and tech. Nurture our plants, organise snacks and catering and take pride in keeping our workspace tidy, stocked and inviting. Maintaining our coffee machine, water dispenser and printer as well as coordinating with vendors and building management are all part of your daily groove.

• Handle preparatory accounting and payments. Work closely with our finance team to collect and organise (mostly digital) invoices, receipts, bank account statements and expense documentation. Prepare payment runs and ensure vendors and team expenses are recorded accurately. You'll use Candis and Pleo across our various locations to track and categorise expenses and make sure all receipts find their way into accounting.

• Be the Operating Partner's trusted organiser. Manage the Operating Partner's calendar, schedule (team) meetings, appointments and (team) travel. Coordinate materials, support organisationally and handle communications so nothing slips through the cracks. Discretion is critical - you'll handle sensitive information with care.

• Support HR operations. Assist with recruitment and onboarding - post job ads, screen applications and organise interviews. You'll ensure the pre‑boarding process runs smoothly and conduct new‑hire orientation, handling logistics such as setting up laptops, providing tool access and email accounts.

• Manage tools & contracts. Own our software subscriptions and service agreements. You'll track renewals and negotiate pricing, evaluate new tools and manage user access. 

• Go the extra mile. Fix what's broken (or boring). Suggest improvements and make them happen. You'll help ensure our office culture remains warm, inclusive and efficient.

About you

• Biased for action - You enjoy making things happen and seeing a well‑run office. You don't wait for instructions - you anticipate needs and act.

• Dependable and organised - You're known for your reliability and your knack for tracking multiple tasks, timelines and keeping systems neat. 

• People‑savvy and discreet - You're warm and professional. You handle sensitive information with absolute discretion.
