Sainty Hird & Partners is seeking an outstanding Office Manager to take ownership of the smooth running of our London office and help create an exceptional experience for clients, candidates and colleagues alike.

This is a newly created role within a well-established, values-led executive search firm and a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys responsibility, variety and the satisfaction of keeping a busy office operating seamlessly.

Working closely with the Partners and Consultants, you will play a central role in the day-to-day life of the firm, combining office and diary management, logistics, front-of-house, supplier coordination and people administration. The role will suit someone who is pro-active, highly organised, calm under pressure and confident handling a broad range of priorities with discretion, initiative and good judgement.

We are proud to be a B Corp-certified business and to have been recognised as a Sunday Times Best Company. We are looking for someone who will help uphold the standards, energy and collaborative spirit that underpin our culture. This is a role for someone who wants to be at the heart of a demanding, varied and genuinely enjoyable working environment.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating external Partner, client and client-candidate meetings, including diary management, invitations, confirmations and supporting documents.
• Managing office supplies, facilities issues and supplier relationships to ensure the office runs efficiently and presents well.
• Liaising with the landlord, cleaners and contractors as needed, and following up on any building-related issues.
• Maintaining holiday and sickness records accurately and confidentially.
• Supporting health and safety processes, including Fire Warden responsibilities.
• Acting as a polished and professional first point of contact for visitors.
• Monitoring shared inboxes and ensuring timely, professional responses and routing.
• Supporting meeting room bookings and set-up to ensure a first-class experience.

We are looking for someone with:

• Previous experience in office management, executive support, operations and/or front-of-house.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence, initiative and a proactive, solutions-focused approach.
• A calm, polished and professional manner.
• Experience in professional services, executive search or a similarly high-touch client environment would be an advantage.
• Fire Warden and/or First Aid training would be helpful, though not essential.
• This is an opportunity to join a highly regarded firm where standards matter, the pace is brisk, and no two days are the same.
