Office Manager / Executive Assistant | Part-time

This is not your average “order the milk and book a meeting room” role.

This is the kind of role where you’re the glue, the organiser, the fixer, the person who somehow knows where everything is and who to talk to when things get weird (which, in IT, happens more often than we’d like to admit).

About Us

First Focus is Australia’s best Managed Service Provider (MSP), with around 450 technical professionals across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. We’ve been growing for more than 15 years by consistently winning new clients and raising the bar on what an MSP should be.

About the role

This is a people-focused role where no two days will be the same. You’ll manage the day-to-day office experience, support employee engagement and help create a workplace where people feel happy, connected and valued.

You’ll work closely with our Chief People Officer, executive team and other Office and Branch Managers across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.

• Helping organise social events, travel and team activities

• Managing office facilities, vendors, equipment and our Tesla fleet
• Administering people-related systems, including our LMS and engagement platforms
• Working collaboratively with our Gold Coast Office Manager and wider People team
• Supporting branch offices in other states
• Being a positive influence in the office and helping maintain a great team culture
• Catching those curve balls when they come
