What we’re looking for 

We’re hiring an Office Manager to be the heartbeat of our main headquarters in Okemos Michigan - someone who brings energy, pride, and ownership to the space where we work. You’ll create a welcoming, inclusive environment, build community through small rituals and memorable events, and keep the office humming with simple systems that work. This role is perfect for an early-career A player who thrives in ambiguity, brings order to chaos, and is hungry to learn fast by taking on projects beyond the job description. 

What You'll Do

    • Own the HQ experience: Keep kitchens stocked, common areas tidy, rooms ready, and visitors and employees greeted with warmth and professionalism. 
    • Run daily office ops: Supplies, mail/shipments, equipment checklists, badging/keys, and general facilities coordination. 
    • Be our front-of-house communicator: Triage office requests, share clear office updates, coordinate with vendors, and handle inbound calls/emails. 
    • Plan community moments: Execute onsite team events, celebrations, and other culture rituals – all on time and on budget. 
    • Support execs and project teams: Coordinate travel, logistics, light calendaring and expense support as needed; prep materials and room setups for out-of-town guests. 
    • Manage vendors & budgets: Get quotes, place orders, track invoices, and monitor a simple monthly budget tracker. 
    • Enable great onboarding: Partner with People Ops to deliver a smooth Day-One experience for new team members including desk setup, team intros, office tour, and welcome moments. 
    • Safety & readiness: Maintain incident logs, first-aid kits, access lists, and basic compliance checklists. 
    • Grab extra scope: Jump into HR, Workplace, Sales, BizOps or adhoc projects that grow your skills and impact. 

What You'll Bring

    • Hospitality mindset: You notice details, take pride in presentation, and make people feel welcome. 
    • Operational rigor: You love checklists, time blocking, and closing loops consistently. 
    • Calm triage under pressure: You prioritize well when everything hits at once. 
    • Clear communication: Friendly, direct, and concise whether in person, email or on Teams. 
    • Vendor & budget basics: Compare quotes, track spend, and avoid waste. 
    • Ownership & growth drive: You see something, you fix it; you ask for feedback and level up. 
    • Tools: proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack/Teams, basic spreadsheets; bonus points for experience with Asana/Trello, Concur/Expensify, or visitor systems. 
    • Experience: 3–5 years in office management, hospitality, events, People Ops support, or similar service-oriented roles (internships and campus leadership count).

    •  Weekly completion of HQ readiness checklist; kitchens consistently stocked and common areas tidy. 
    • Office request SLA: same-day acknowledgment in writing; clear ETA for resolution. 
    • Day-One onboarding playbook enhancements proposed for all new hires at HQ.

    • Vendor SOPs and inventory system live; cost savings or waste reduction identified. 
    • Pulse score ≥85% favorable on engagement surveys (ie “HQ is welcoming and well-run.”) 
    • Onboarding day-one satisfaction ≥4.5/5 from new hires. 
    • Documented “Office Ops Playbook” (checklists, floor plan, contacts, event templates, safety basics). 
    • At least one cross-functional project delivered (e.g., onboarding refresh, travel program cleanup, wellness/ERGs support).
