Office and Facilities manager - events and art space
£50,000-60,000 + excellent benefits
West End (On-site)
Our client is a highly successful boutique events and art space based in the West End, offering a unique and fast-paced working environment at the heart of a creative and commercial business. A new opportunity has arisen for an experienced Office and Facilities Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operations and HR remit across the business, ensuring the smooth running of both the office and wider operational functions.
This is a varied and hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple areas of a business. Responsibilities will include liaising with the landlord regarding building and facilities matters, implementing and managing office systems and administrative procedures, building strong relationships with key suppliers, overseeing two Administrative Coordinators, and providing HR administrative support where needed. You will also work closely with external HR and Finance providers, acting as the key internal point of contact and escalating more complex matters when required.
Given the temporary nature of the events and exhibitions, strong project management skills are essential. You will support the creative team by coordinating operational requirements, managing tight deadlines, liaising with international stakeholders, monitoring budgets, and ensuring smooth relationship management across multiple moving parts.
A background in the creative sector is not essential; more important is a strong all-round Operations professional who is confident working with senior stakeholders, able to troubleshoot effectively, and thrives in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Exposure to the arts and cultural sector would be a bonus, as would knowledge of supporting public events or exhibitions.
This role is primarily office based and occasional evening or weekend work may be required to support events or operational needs.
Salary is dependent on experience.
