About the Role

This is a part-time, in-office position, where your presence is required four days a week, Monday to Thursday, up to 30 hours - with the flexibility to start late or finish early to suit you.

As our Office Manager, you're the heartbeat of the office and the person who keeps the space running, the events landing, and the people connected. You'll own how it feels to walk through our doors, from a spotless, welcoming space to the weekly rituals and big-moment events that bring our culture to life. If you love creating environments where people genuinely want to show up, this one's for you!

What You'll Do

• Run Brighte HQ day to day. Be the go-to for all things office, keeping the space safe, welcoming, presentation-ready and unmistakably Brighte.
• Own facilities, supplies and budgets. Manage building management, contractors and service providers, and keep stock and spend well under control.
• Bring the office to life. Deliver our weekly rituals (Tasty Tuesday lunches, Thursday socials, All Hands) plus company-wide events end to end, from concept to run sheet.
• Make people feel seen. Run our recognition programs (Brighte Stars, milestones and anniversaries) so the moments that matter land right on time.
• Deliver a standout day one. Own the in-office onboarding experience, coordinating Launchpad, welcome packs and IT readiness so new starters feel it from the start.
• Support our Leadership Team. Ad hoc admin, travel and event logistics, meeting coordination and credit card reconciliations.

• A people-first, hospitality mindset. You create environments people want to be part of.
• Strong vendor, procurement and budget management skills.
• A knack for event planning, from weekly rituals to company-wide moments.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI. You use it to work smarter, automate the admin, and free yourself up for the human stuff.
• WHS awareness (or the appetite to learn) is a plus.

Our Hiring Process - what to expect?

At Brighte, we use AI every day, and we hire people who do too. We're looking for people who have lived or are living the AI transformation and will bring that thinking to how they work. That's why all roles include an assessment designed to see how you put AI to work. There's no right tool (we use Claude, but you can use whatever you're most comfortable with), and there's no trick to it - we want to see how you think. We'll talk about this in more detail if you're invited to a phone screen with our Talent team.

Towards the end of our hiring process, we require all candidates to undertake references and background checks, which include a police check, anti-money laundering and bankruptcy checks.
