Job Description
ABOUT US
We are the UK cross-functional creative hub of a global consumer appliance & wellness
company, bringing together expertise from Product Management, Product Design,
Consumer Insights, and more. Supported by international colleagues in Germany,
China, and the US, our Keynsham Design Centre operates with the agility of a startup
and the backing of a global brand.
Our mission is to explore, design, and develop meaningful product experiences for
consumers in their homes. To do this well, we need the right environment and the right
support in place—and that’s where this role comes in.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a proactive and people-centred Office & HR Manager to support the
daily running of our UK hub, and contribute to a positive, organised, and inspiring
workplace.
This role will support our upcoming office relocation, helping ensure the move is
smoothly managed alongside the UK Site Lead, our global operations teams, and local
partners. You will oversee office operations, support the employee lifecycle, and be the
first point of contact for HR-related enquiries.
You will not be alone. You’ll work alongside:
• an on-site Design Facilities Manager, who will be responsible for specifying,
building, and running the workshop and test facilities; and our Düsseldorf-based European HR, Finance, and IT teams, who will provide guidance, structure, and operational support.
This is a highly varied role in an evolving hub—ideal for someone organised, approachable, and adaptable, who enjoys shaping processes while remaining hands-on.

• Manage office-related budgets, insurance, expenses, and vendor invoicing.
• Support the Finance team with local purchasing and expenditure tracking.
• Ensure alignment with global finance, travel, and expense processes.
HEALTH, WELLBEING & CULTURE
• Help create a healthy, inspiring office environment—with consideration for
workspace ergonomics, flow, lighting, plants, and nutrition options.
• Promote an inclusive, positive workplace culture that supports collaboration and
creativity.
• Organise team activities, seasonal celebrations, and locally led culture-building
initiatives.
• Serve as a wellbeing advocate within the office, supporting mental and physical
