• Work with Technology to allocate space, run space audits and optimise the use of the office as business needs change.
• Coordinate fit-outs of new spaces and office moves, with design input where needed, and document change and move processes.
• Equip new starters with desks, chairs, phones and other essentials, coordinating hardware with Technology, including deliveries for remote workers.
• Manage facilities requests through Jira, ensuring swift responses.
• Organise office events and act as the main point of contact, in line with Company policies.
• Keep the facilities pages on the intranet up to date, and work with senior management and HR to define, update, create, and communicate office and facilities policies.
