Do you consider yourself a people-person as much as a processes person? As an Office and Event Manager, you'll be integral to cultivating company culture and steering the ship in the right direction.
As an Office and Event Manager, you’ll be the face of FishingBooker’s office environment and provide seamless experiences through regular interactions with visitors, candidates, suppliers, and employees at every level. You will create, improve processes and do whatever it takes to keep the company and its people productive.
Office management is dynamic and requires hands-on work where you need to roll up your sleeves to get things done. There’s space for creativity when it comes to the office employee experience however, a lot of work requires you to communicate with various parties, organize them, and get things done yourself (e.g. rearrange an office or go pick up equipment from a supplier).
