This fast-paced role offers a unique blend of event planning, facilities coordination, and administrative oversight-all integral to powering our engineering site.

What You'll Do

• Lead seamless coordination of virtual & in-person events-from internal morale boosters and speaker series to off-sites and large-scale engineering gatherings (venue, catering, logistics).

• Act as the main point of contact for on-site support requests, triaging issues and liaising with IT, Facilities, Security, and other partner teams.

• Manage access control for engineering floors in collaboration with Security.

• Own the Procure-to-Pay cycle, handling supplier invoices, PO creation, budget tracking, and swag procurement/distribution.

• Support site-wide governance and leadership meetings, maintain distribution lists, security groups, and engineering org charts.

• Assist with hiring & onboarding/offboarding processes, site budget reviews, and exciting ad-hoc projects (speaker events, new workspace set-ups, etc.).

Candidate Profile

• Expert multitasker with impeccable attention to detail and timely follow-through.

• Highly organized, proactive, and customer-service oriented with a "can-do" attitude.

• Excellent interpersonal skills-able to build relationships at all levels and maintain confidentiality.

• Strong judgment, initiative, and ability to pivot quickly in a dynamic environment.

• Tech-savvy: proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams).

• Strategic thinker with a broad perspective yet keen on fine-grained execution.

• Clear, confident communicator both verbally and in writing.

What Sets You Apart

• Strong understanding of corporate structures and the ability to navigate them.

• Comfortable with ambiguity-able to drive clarity and adapt your approach on the fly.

• Experience operating within structured environments, managing POs, room bookings, and facility changes with ease.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Impact & Ownership: This role offers real influence over site operations and engineering community life.

• Collaborative Culture: Join a close-knit team that values initiative, integrity, and excellence.

• Dynamic Environment: Work at the crossroads of events, operations, and engineering in one of London's most vibrant tech hubs.
