Are you an experienced Office Manager who loves being hands-on and taking ownership of a busy workplace?

We're partnering with an established technology business in North Sydney to recruit an Office & Facilities Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day office environment and workplace operations.

This is much more than a traditional administration role. You'll be the person who keeps the office running smoothly – managing facilities, coordinating contractors and landlords, overseeing workplace services and leading the Front of House function.

You'll also manage and support a Receptionist, so we're looking for someone who has previous hands-on people leadership experience and enjoys coaching and developing others.

The Role

Reporting Directly to the COO, you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the workplace across the North Sydney and Newcastle offices, ensuring the environment is safe, professional, well maintained and a great place for employees and visitors.

Your responsibilities will include

- Managing, supporting and developing the Receptionist

- Taking ownership of day-to-day office and workplace operations

- Coordinating facilities, maintenance and workplace services

- Building strong relationships with landlords, trades and external contractors

- Coordinating preventative and reactive maintenance

- Managing contractor access, documentation and onsite works

- Overseeing cleaning services and ensuring the office is consistently presented to a high standard

- Coordinating workplace security and access requirements

- Supporting WHS matters and escalating compliance issues where required

- Managing office requests and ensuring issues are followed through to resolution

- Maintaining meeting rooms, shared spaces and workplace amenities

- Identifying opportunities to improve how the office operates





- Providing practical operational support to the wider business

- Occasionally coordinating after-hours contractor works when required

The role is genuinely hands-on. We're looking for someone who is comfortable jumping in, solving problems and taking ownership rather than simply passing issues on.

About You

You'll ideally have

- 3 years' experience managing or coordinating a commercial office environment

- Strong office management and facilities coordination experience

- Previous experience managing a direct report – ideally within Reception or Front of House

- Experience dealing directly with commercial landlords

- Strong experience coordinating trades, contractors and maintenance
- A positive understanding of workplace operations, facilities and Front of House

- Excellent organisation skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities

- Confidence dealing with stakeholders at all levels

- Strong administration skills and attention to detail
- A practical, solutions-focused approach
- The confidence to make decisions and take ownership of day-to-day issues

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being visible, approachable and hands-on. You'll be comfortable dealing with everything from an unexpected building issue to coaching your Receptionist or coordinating contractors.

What's On Offer

- Permanent full-time opportunity

- North Sydney location

- $90,000 - $95,000 super Annual Company Bonus

- Annual company performance bonus opportunity

- 1 day WFH per week

- Opportunity to take genuine ownership of the workplace

- Hands-on leadership responsibility

- Established technology business

- Broad role where you'll have plenty of variety and autonomy

If you're an experienced Office Manager who enjoys the facilities and operational side of office management, and you're looking for a role where you can genuinely take ownership, we'd love to hear from you.
