Office Manager
Zagreb, Croatia
The key person making sure all our engines are running smoothly.
Office Manager (F/M)
We are looking for an aspiring individual (M/F) with a passion for putting things in order, who will help us organize our office affairs to best support our growing business. This person will be responsible for the complete functionality of our Zagreb office including vendor management (external accounting, facility, leasing, insurance, etc.) and fleet management.
Who is an ideal candidate:
Our ideal candidate already has experience managing an office, managing multiple tasks/projects and handling essential paperwork. This person should be well-organized, self-driven, meticulous, and constantly on the go. As our team is energetic and vocal, candidates should be prepared to work in such an environment, willing to contribute and drive activities without being monitored and micro-managed.
Your key responsibilites:
Your key responsibilities will fall into the following categories:
1. Finance and paperwork management
Includes but is not limited to managing external accounting including accounts payable and receivable, and keeping track of current monetary commitments (leasing, insurance, monthly expenses). The office manager also maintains employees’ day off policy, including related paperwork.
2. Office supplies and desk materials management
Making sure our office kitchens are stacked with groceries and supplies we cherish – mainly coffee, we crave a good cup of coffee. Also, means making sure that we have enough hygienic supplies as well as office supplies like staples, pens, markers, and printing paper (we print only necessary documents).
3. Reception and guests
You will sometimes be the first face our customers see and will be representing the whole company towards our visitors – that means we do expect you to provide them with a professional experience – greeting them with coffee, tea, and water and directing them to proper area, be it a waiting area or meeting room. You will also oversee receiving and managing the physical mail and packages.
4. Travel management
We tend to travel a lot, and sometimes we need help to make sure everything goes smoothly. This means we will (sometimes) need help with booking flights, hotels and other travel necessities. Also, we will need your help with travel expenses – making sure they are all in place and properly sent to accounting.
5. Fleet management
Nephos has a certain number of vehicles that need to be managed – ensure they are registered in time, are serviced, tiers are changed every season, etc. If you can manage a monthly wash – that would be the cherry on top.
Key requirements:
- Minimum 3 years of prior experience in similar roles (office management).
- Bachelor’s degree in business administration or related fields, or equivalent experience.
- Proficiency in MS Office and other productivity tools.
- Proficient use of English in spoken and written form.
- 40 hours/week worktime.
- On-premises work (no remote work).
- Driver's licence – B category.
To do this you will need (or learn on the way) a specific set of skills:
Organisational skills
The ability to prioritise and manage multiple tasks simultaneously. This includes schedule management, coordination between teams and vendors, and handling different administrative tasks.
Communication skills
excellent communication and interpersonal skills are key to ensuring everyone is aligned and knows what they need to do. We expect you to be able to delegate and manage external vendors and contractors to complete tasks within your area of responsibility.
Problem-solving skills
As with every job, the role of an office manager will present you with some unexpected events that will require creative ways to make sure they end up on a positive note.
Technical skills
We are a tech (consulting) company, and we communicate via MS Teams, send a lot of emails, manage time in Outlook calendars, keep files on SharePoint and OneDrive, measure time and track projects with Productive – you will need to use those tools as well to make the company-wide experience the same for everyone.
Attention to detail
You will need a keen eye for detail and ensure that all tasks within your domain are done on time and efficiently.
Flexibility
Your job will require some flexibility. Things you set to do in the morning will probably not be the same ones you have done by the end of the day. We are agile and work in a fast-paced environment – you will need to keep up by shifting your to-dos and prioritising.
Working under pressure
No one likes constant stress and most days you will not feel pressure, but there are days/weeks when days are just too short, and you will feel the pressure to complete things in time. We hope you can perform well under a moderate amount of pressure.
What we offer:
- Competitive payment starting in the range of 1.000,00€ - 1.400,00€ gross per month.
- Working in a young and lively organization.
- Additional yearly health insurance including free all-up physical exams.
- Paid parking next to the office building.
- Working with modern tools and technology.
