Office manager

Location: Camden town, north London
Job type: part time (4 days a week)
Salary: £19k pro rata
Deadline: midnight, Wednesday 22 May

About the role

We're looking for an office manager to look after our internal systems and the smooth day-to-day running of our HQ in Camden town.

Working as part of a small, friendly team you’ll be a highly organised self-starter who understands how central they are to 10:10’s work. We know that good office management helps make 10:10 the best it can be, so we’re looking for someone who gets excited about better systems, efficiency and good communication.

You’ll mainly be responsible for keeping the office systems running and creating a comfortable and happy space to work in, but you won’t be afraid to get your hands dirty with whatever the organisation needs. Whether you’re managing contractors and databases, sorting out software and stationary or doing invoices and holiday rotas, you'll be critical in delivering our celebrated campaigns.

We believe in a low carbon office, so many of our systems are online and cloud-based, and you’ll lead the team on managing these.

We frequently hold in-house talks, events and important meetings. The successful candidate will be adept at hosting: from arranging the office, to organising refreshments. This is a role for someone who is as passionate about the process as they are about what 10:10 does, and wants to play a role in helping 10:10 succeed.

10:10 is a lively and exciting place to work, with a colourful and interesting office full of dedicated people looking to help change the world for the better. As the office manager you’ll be supporting some of the best campaigners in the business.

Essential attributes

• Office management – making sure our office is a comfortable, efficient and safe space to do world-changing things.
• Excellent phone manner and people skills – you’ll be the first port of call for visitors and phone enquiries.
• Super organisational skills – you’ll have a good eye for detail and be comfortable handling several tasks at once.
• Experience categorising and filing invoices, receipts and petty cash.
• Confidence in handling relationships with external suppliers and vendors – from IT contractors to our landlord Roger.
• Confidence and discretion in handling confidential information.
• Highly computer literate, you’ll be an expert in Microsoft Office, confident in cloud applications such as Google Drive, and able to find your way around a CRM system.

Desirable attributes

• Experience taking minutes, liaising with high-profile and busy people and diaries
• Ability to handle basic HR functions, such as handling employee contracts, recording holiday time and keeping payroll records up to date.
• Basic bookkeeping skills and experience using an accounting package.
• Knowledge of Salesforce or a similar sales / donor management system, particularly as a manager.
• Experience in a campaigning organisation in climate change or a related area (by no means essential).
