Office Coordinator - 12-Month Fixed Term Contract

About The Role and Team

The Office Coordinator will play a vital role in supporting Quantum Motion’s Office Manager and wider Operations team during a period of ongoing company growth. You will ensure that our London workplace remains safe, well-maintained, highly organised, and capable of delivering an outstanding day-to-day experience for our expanding team and visitors.

This is a hands-on operational role designed for an ambitious coordinator looking to develop their career in workplace operations. Initially, you will work side-by-side with the Office Manager, taking direct responsibility for defined recurring tasks across facilities management, vendor relations, onboarding as well as Health & Safety administration.

As the business grows and your capability develops you will progressively take ownership of increasingly complex operational workflows, providing a resilient operational foundation and building the capacity to run day-to-day office operations independently.

You will act as a key liaison across the business, collaborating with internal teams, building management, contractors, suppliers and external partners.
