We’re united by big ideas, bold ambitions and a genuine sense of purpose. We move fast and we’re not afraid to do things differently.

We are now on the lookout for a brilliant Office Manager to join the team in our York office. You will be the person who keeps our offices running like clockwork; if you’re the person that loves to get stuff done, this role is for you!

About the role

Reporting to the People and Culture Manager, you’ll be the glue that holds the office together. The friendly face, the organiser, the go-to person for all things operational. From managing supplies, to fixing tech niggles, to greeting visitors and booking travel, you’ll make sure the office runs smoothly and sustainably.

You’ll also help bring our culture to life. Whether it’s organising events, supporting our People team, or helping us walk the talk on sustainability, you’ll play a big part in making Apatura a great place to work.

Sustainability in action

• Lead on making the office more sustainable, think waste reduction, smarter energy use and greener choices
• Champion our ESG goals and help us leave the planet in a better place than we found it.

What we’re looking for

You’ve got experience running a busy office and keeping lots of plates spinning. You love making things more efficient, staying organised, and creating a workplace people enjoy being in.

You’ll need:

• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office (and learning new tools fast)
• A proactive mindset
• An interest in sustainability and a can-do attitude.
