Requirements
• 2. Hiring Manager interview: A 45 to 60-minute conversation-based interview deep diving into your experience and motivations. • Last time we hired a Senior Workplace Coordinator, we received a total of 320 applications but only 15 were selected for an intro call. With this in mind, we want to help you understand what we really care about when reviewing your application: • Every single application we receive is reviewed by a human (yes, hundreds of them) because we believe that candidates' efforts should be matched by an equal level of human care. This means that we expect a similar level of attention put into your application. Read and answer the application questions carefully, they make a huge difference in our decision-making process. • We are looking for three key areas of expertise for this role: event and community management, project management, and physical security management. All these are equally important but we expect candidates might lack experience across one of these areas. Don’t let this discourage you from applying, we are fully expecting to give the right person some coaching but be honest about what you have real, practical experience with.
Responsibilities
• As a Senior Workplace Coordinator, you will look after: • Event & Community Management: whether it’s a Summer or a Winter gathering or a sustainability programme - you’ll be planning the events, managing the budget and promoting employee engagement. • Office Management: Ensuring office spaces are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and aligned with organizational needs. • Physical Security Oversight: Manage day-to-day office security operations, including access control systems, CCTV monitoring, and visitor management protocols to ensure a safe environment for all employees and guests. • UK Compliance & Safety: Serve as the workplace champion for UK health, safety, and security compliance, ensuring the London office strictly aligns with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. • Data Protection & Privacy: Maintain and audit physical security logs, keycards, and surveillance data in strict adherence to UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. • Emergency Preparedness: Lead risk assessments, coordinate local fire warden/first aid training, and manage incident response plans in collaboration with building management and local authorities. • Make the London Office better: come up with new ideas for what you believe is needed, improve what isn’t working and automate wherever possible • Gather feedback: you’ll be continuously striving to improve the workplace experience, so gathering feedback from stakeholders and employees will be really important to understand where to improve • Larger ad-hoc projects: perhaps we’re going through an office refurbishment, implementing a new security process or, hosting a group of employees from another office - you’ll ensure everything runs smoothly! • Contract Management: Closely support the follow up and monitoring of the area services & contracts, identifying ways to improve services while keeping cost flat or reduced. • Budget Management: ensure we’re making the most of our money by giving the best experience at the lowest cost by performing and monitoring the budget control environment in all activities, purchases, services, etc. • A first proven experience in workplace, office, property or facilities management. We will consider individuals with experience of projects and budget management as well. • Experience managing a budget close to £1M. • A love for organising, bringing structure, optimising, communicating, and building relationships • A ‘get your hands dirty’ attitude and the ability to lead on operational priorities such as client or supplier negotiations • Knowledge of workplace technology and current trends in office design and hybrid work environments • A familiarity with Slack, G’Suite (especially spreadsheets) & Notion • A familiarity with event planning & community building • Lead office space improvements to drive impact in experience and compliance. • Collaborate with Techops and Risk & Compliance teams, to enhance physical security in our office. • Grow your skills in project management, budget control and facilities operations, by taking on new challenges as the company continues to scale. • We’re committed to helping you develop your career, whether that means taking on bigger projects, stepping into leadership, or acquiring new skills in compliance, event management or health & safety.
Benefits
• This role is a good fit for you if: • You are creative and like to innovate, try out new approaches and ideas. • You get as excited about coordinating fun activities and events as you are about improving processes. • You are eager to develop your skillset across many different areas.

The London office vibe can vary between very quiet or absolutely buzzing and it’s important for you to be comfortable with both. • You need very structured instructions. You will be given a lot of freedom and autonomy in this role, you need to be self-sufficient and to take initiatives to manage your own work or suggest new approaches. • You need to follow a structured routine.
