Alongside this, you will manage office logistics, supplies, and facilities to ensure a productive and efficient workplace.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with strong opportunities for career growth into broader HR responsibilities as the organisation scales.
The Role

In parallel, you will ensure the office operates efficiently by managing supplies, equipment, and facilities, acting as the first point of contact for internal queries, and supporting key operational activities.
