Hire an Office Manager

We are a specialist Office Manager recruitment agency in London.  The Office Manager role is the lynchpin of the business office support function, and require confidence and resilience at their core.  They can have a big impact on company culture, and overall morale and business success.  

This key role requires someone who is highly organised, impeccably presented, and experienced in running a busy, fast-paced office with precision and professionalism. This role is perfect for someone who takes pride in attention to detail, communicates seamlessly (both written and verbal), and brings calm office presence, structure, and reliability to the workplace.

We can advise on all aspects of Office Manager support and guide you to the perfect hire for your business, as this role is varied according to size of business and back office functions. Read more about the Office Manager job description here.

We always take a full and thorough brief, ideally in a face to face meeting so we really get to understand the right person specification alongside the experience required for the role.

At this level we are often asked to advise our clients on defining the role, especially if they are working closely with other office support positions such as administrators and PA’s and those working in Business Assistant or Chief of Staff roles. Bain and Gray has an outstanding network of active and passive job seekers.

All candidates are met by members of our team in our London office, and are thoroughly competency interviewed, drawing out examples of their soft skills as well as questioning their experience.

Frequently asked questions

Office managers can be described as the 'hub' of the office functions. Their primary role and responsibility is to keep offices running smoothly by ensuring the day-to-day administrative, financial and managerial tasks are completed efficiently and accurately.

Office managers sit at the heart of any organisation, they are often the ‘go-to’ person within the office, and are good communicators, approachable, flexible and diligent; taking pride in the smooth and efficient running of the office. Office managers typically ensure relevant files and systems are running well and are up-to-date, office equipment is maintained appropriately and administrative processes work effectively.

They are typically natural organisers, with attention to detail and forward planning. A good Office Manager will have a flexible approach, trouble-shooting any office issues as they arise, whether it relates to the building, security, supplies, systems and broader company-wide functions.
