Office Coordinator

As our next Office Coordinator based in our Portsmouth office, you'll play a key role in helping us build the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace. Based at our Lakeside site, you'll be the person who makes the office genuinely great to work in — owning the space end-to-end, bringing our hybrid working model to life, and making sure every employee who walks through the door feels set up to do their best work. This isn't a background role: you'll be visible, hands-on, and central to how our culture shows up in person.

Forget long lists, here's what you'll actually spend your time on:

• Owning the day-to-day running of our Portsmouth Lakeside site — from reception and mail to seating plans and internal moves — so the office hums along without anyone having to think about it.

• Being our culture carrier on the ground: activating the space, setting the atmosphere, and making sure every corner of the office reflects how we work and who we are.

• Planning and running internal events, social activities, and all-hands meetings that bring people together and make coming in feel genuinely worthwhile.

• Managing our vendor relationships and site budget — cleaning, catering, maintenance, security — holding partners to a high standard and making sure the office stays safe, stocked, and sorted.

• Serving as the designated Health & Safety officer for the site, keeping all documentation, risk assessments, and fire safety protocols up to date and fully compliant.

• Overseeing office supplies, tech accessories, pantry stock, and fleet logistics — so employees always have what they need, without the faff of chasing things down.

It's not about ticking every box. It's about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You'll do well here if you bring:

• Experience in an office management, workplace experience, or facilities coordination role — ideally in a tech or scaling business.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple vendors, projects, and priorities without dropping anything.

• Clear, confident communication — whether you're dealing with a colleague, a building manager, or a senior leader, you know how to get the right outcome.

• A solid working knowledge of UK Health & Safety requirements; IOSH or NEBOSH certification is a nice-to-have, not a dealbreaker.

We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here's just a taste:

• Competitive salary + annual bonus

• 4% pension contribution

• Employee Share Programme

• Health, well-being and learning support

• Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme

• Birthday/Special day leave

• Buy & sell holiday scheme

• 1 week's paid charity leave and much more!

How we'll get to know each other:

• 1st stage interview with either Paulius Krucas or Ashley Bartley

• Final stage includes a short practical task or site walkthrough, followed by a panel conversation

If this sounds like the place where you can do your best work, we'd love to hear from you, even if you don't tick every box.
