We are home to a diverse, smart, curious, and ambitious community of specialists in technology‑driven transformation. We help our clients innovate and create intelligent digital products, thriving on complex challenges to deliver business‑critical IT projects.
As our Office Manager, you aren’t just maintaining a space—you are the primary driver of our connection‑led culture. You are a solid performer who operates with high autonomy, ensuring our physical environments are a competitive advantage for talent retention and client impressions.

This is a Glasgow‑based role with regular travel to our other sites to ensure a consistent, vibrant experience for all our teams.

- Strategic Experience & Cultural Leadership: You will act as the face of our Glasgow hub and the "Brand Guardian" for our physical spaces, ensuring every team member feels part of the Waracle community from day one.
- Community Connection: Working closely with our Communications and Engagement Manager, you’ll lead the logistics for meet‑ups and celebrations, owning the physical setup and high‑energy atmosphere of our "Last Thursday" events.
- Operational Excellence: You’ll oversee the maintenance ecosystem, managing relationships with landlords and vendors while negotiating contracts to ensure quality and value.
- Office Optimisation: You will use data and feedback to suggest layout changes that improve collaboration, moving beyond "fixing things" to strategically evolving how we work.
- Project Leadership: Act as the lead for office transitions, moves, or refurbs, managing everything from space planning to change management.
- Governance & Safety: You will own the security protocols and health and safety management, ensuring all audits and risk assessments are legally compliant and up to date.
What You’ll Bring
- A Champion Mindset: You are naturally professional, outgoing, and inclusive. You love building community and making people feel welcome.
- Independence: You are a proactive problem‑solver who "sees around corners" to prevent issues before they arise.
- Collaborative Influence: You have the confidence to influence team decisions and hold vendors accountable to high standards.
- Technical Knowledge: A strong understanding of Facilities Management (FM) best practices, health and safety legislation, and workplace design trends.
- Tech Savvy: Proficiency in Slack, G‑Suite, and procurement tools, with a curiosity to learn new workplace management software.
Recruitment Process
- Initial Chat: You’ll have a call with your dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner to talk about Waracle, your career goals, and the "important stuff" like salary and benefits.
- Two‑Stage Interview: You’ll be invited to showcase your skills and find out more about the role.
- Supportive Onboarding: Your Talent Partner will guide you through the whole process right up to your first day.
