Our Edinburgh office is the cultural home of Opus 2’s Product and Engineering group — a fast-moving, intellectually curious team of builders, problem-solvers, and innovators. We’re in scale‑up mode, which means things move quickly, priorities evolve, and no two days look the same. This is an environment that rewards people who find genuine joy in turning chaos into order, who are curious about technology and product development, and who love being part of a team.
This role is at the heart of that community.
The Edinburgh Office & Engagement Manager is the engine that keeps our Edinburgh office running smoothly and the heart that keeps its culture beating. You’ll own the day-to-day operations of the office while playing an active role in making Opus 2 a genuinely great place to work.
You’ll work closely with your counterpart, our London Office & Global Engagement Manager, to bring consistency across our UK offices, share ideas, and collaborate on company‑wide initiatives — from DE&I and CSR to events and employee experience. Together, you’ll help make Opus 2 the kind of company people are proud to work for.
As part of a small, collaborative team, this role carries real variety and real impact during an exciting chapter of growth.

What we're looking for in you
Skills and experience matter, but so does who you are. Our retiring Office Manager, who has been a cornerstone of this team, put it best: we’re looking for someone with 'a positive, friendly, welcoming manner and a can‑do attitude — someone who will be efficient and supportive, willing to adapt to whatever needs to be done.' We couldn’t agree more.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Love making order out of chaos and find real satisfaction in a well‑run, well‑organised space.
- Are genuinely curious about technology and product development — you don’t need to be an engineer, but you’ll enjoy being around people who are.
- Have a warm, proactive, can‑do nature — people feel better when you’re around.
- Are a natural connector who enjoys helping colleagues, solving problems, and making people feel valued.
- Thrive in a fast‑paced, scale‑up environment where priorities shift and no two weeks look the same.
- Are highly organised and able to manage multiple workstreams without dropping the ball.
- Communicate clearly and confidently across all levels, from the exec team to new joiners on their first day.
- Have experience in office management, engagement and/or EA/PA, or a similar operations or people‑facing role.
- Are comfortable with tools like Slack, Microsoft 365, and general office management platforms.
Hours
- 9.00 – 17.30 Monday to Friday.
