Morson Talent is delighted to be recruiting for an Office Manager on behalf of our client, a leading organisation with a strong presence in Cambridge. This opportunity has become available due to a team member leaving, and the successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of a busy office environment.

This is a front-facing, varied and fast-paced role that would suit someone who enjoys working with people, is highly organised, and has a proactive approach to problem solving.

• Managing front-of-house duties including signing in visitors and providing a professional, friendly welcome
• Supporting day-to-day office operations such as managing stock levels of office supplies, troubleshooting supply issues, and coordinating maintenance where needed
• Ensuring hospitality is in place for meetings and events and preparing meeting rooms accordingly
• Liaising with multiple teams across the business to ensure a seamless office experience for all staff and visitors

What We’re Looking For:
• Previous administration or office management experience (or similar roles with transferable skills)
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with confidence in dealing with staff at all levels as well as contractors and visitors
• Strong organisational abilities and the initiative to manage multiple priorities
• A positive and professional attitude, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

Additional Information:
• Must be a UK citizen or permanent resident (unfortunately this role is not open to candidates requiring visa sponsorship)
• Candidates must be able to start at short notice
• Timesheets are required for payroll processing
• Interviews will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, with the possibility of on-site interviews depending on availability (stacked format)

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take ownership of a key operational role within a supportive and dynamic team. If you’re ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact, we’d love to hear from you.
