Find your ideal Office Manager with Biscuit. Because great teams deserve great support.
An Office Manager is the operational backbone of a business, ensuring that the workplace runs smoothly, efficiently, and in alignment with company culture. They oversee the day-to-day functioning of the office, balancing people, processes, and practicalities to create an environment where teams can perform at their best.
The role typically includes managing office operations and suppliers, overseeing facilities and health and safety, coordinating budgets and expenses, and supporting onboarding and employee experience. Office Managers often act as the central point of contact for internal teams and external partners, proactively resolving issues before they impact productivity.
A great Office Manager brings structure, calm, and consistency to fast-paced environments. They combine strong organisational skills with a people-first mindset, helping businesses scale sustainably while maintaining a positive, well-run workplace.
If your team is drowning in admin, operations feel chaotic, or you’re personally handling tasks that could be streamlined by someone with proper expertise, it’s probably time to bring in an Office Manager.
Perhaps your business has outgrown its current structure, or you need someone who can take ownership of the day-to-day so you can get back to focusing on what really moves the needle. The right Office Manager doesn’t just keep things ticking.
They anticipate, organise, and create the systems that help everyone else do their best work. Whether you’re scaling up, restructuring, or simply tired of operational headaches, bringing in the right person can completely transform how your business runs from the inside out.
Finding an Office Manager who truly gets your business isn’t about ticking boxes.
It’s about finding someone who understands your culture, anticipates your needs, and seamlessly integrates into your team.

An Office Manager is ideal when you need someone to take ownership of day-to-day office operations, facilities, suppliers, and employee experience. If your priority is creating structure, improving efficiency, and ensuring the workplace runs smoothly, an Office Manager is often the right first hire. An Operations Manager typically comes into play when a business needs strategic oversight across multiple departments, systems, and workflows at a more senior level.
Yes – many Office Managers play a key role in supporting HR and People functions, particularly in growing businesses. This may include onboarding, policy coordination, employee engagement initiatives, benefits administration, and acting as a first point of contact for people-related queries. We help define the right balance based on your internal structure and future growth plans.
In the first three months, a strong Office Manager will typically assess current processes, stabilise day-to-day operations, build trusted relationships across the business, and identify opportunities for improvement. This often includes supplier reviews, office processes, onboarding experience, and health and safety compliance. We ensure candidates are briefed to deliver impact quickly and pragmatically.
Not always. While industry experience can be helpful, many exceptional Office Managers succeed through transferable skills such as organisation, communication, and operational problem-solving. We focus on matching candidates whose mindset, pace, and experience align with your business culture and complexity – rather than relying solely on sector background.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are no longer just buzzwords – they’re central to building resilient, innovative, and forward-thinking teams. But even companies with the best intentions often fall short in the first step of the hiring process: the job advert.
When it comes to job hunting, the process can often feel overwhelming – hundreds of applications, generic rejections, and little to no feedback. But what if your job search could feel more human, more intentional, and more tailored to you? That’s where a boutique recruitment agency like ours comes in.
In the world of EA recruitment, it’s easy to focus solely on hard skills – calendar management, inbox mastery, event planning, and travel coordination. But the true magic of a successful EA hire often comes down to one crucial factor: cultural fit.
