• The ability to lead with empathy, delegate effectively, and support team development.
• Confidence managing changing priorities and keeping projects moving forward.
• A thoughtful approach to building a welcoming, productive workplace culture.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with different internal and external stakeholders.

• Experience leading or coordinating a team.
• The proven capability to handle office budgets, invoices, and supplier contracts.
• Experience managing external vendors, landlords, and service providers.
• Good organizational and project management skills, with strong attention to detail.
• The ability to manage workplace projects, space changes, and operational initiatives.
• The ability to ensure compliance with local health, safety, and administrative requirements.
