Role Summary
We are looking for an Office Operations Manager to own the end-to-end functioning of our office. This is not a traditional admin role. You will treat the office as a product — ensuring it scales smoothly, supports productivity, and eliminates operational friction for the team.
Core Responsibilities
Office Operations & Facilities: Ensure office cleanliness, functionality, and upkeep; manage housekeeping, pantry, and maintenance; proactively resolve issues (AC, internet, electricity) and coordinate vendor repairs with quick turnaround.
Space, Seating & Infrastructure: Own seating allocation and execution; ensure Day 1 workstation readiness for all new joiners; manage desk moves and layout as the team scales; maintain discipline in shared spaces (meeting rooms, collaboration zones).
Pantry, Cafeteria & Consumables: Manage cooks and helpers; plan weekly menus and map to grocery requirements; ensure hygiene, food quality, and smooth lunch operations; maintain pantry supplies (snacks, beverages, consumables) with usage tracking and defined reorder cycles.
Inventory & Asset Management: Maintain an effective inventory system across pantry, consumables, office supplies, and assets; track stock levels, usage patterns, and replenishment cycles; maintain records of assets (chairs, desks, monitors) and ensure readiness for new hires and expansion.
Vendor, Procurement & Cost Management: Manage all office vendors; procure supplies, furniture, and equipment; negotiate pricing, maintain relationships, and optimize costs.
New Joiner Experience & Coordination: Ensure seamless onboarding (desk readiness and IT coordination); maintain a welcoming office environment; manage visitors and basic front desk coordination when required.
Ops & Finance Coordination: Track office-related expenses; maintain vendor bills and records; coordinate with finance for timely payments.
Travel & Guest Logistics: Coordinate travel and stay logistics for visiting US and Japan teammates and external guests (airport transfers, hotel bookings, guest meals); own on-site hosting for customer visits.
Security & Access Control: Manage keycard and access systems, visitor logs, after-hours access protocols, and CCTV/security systems as the office scales from ~35 to 70+ people.
Compliance & Statutory Obligations: Ensure compliance with local statutory requirements including Shop & Establishment registration, fire safety norms, labour law for contracted staff (cooks, housekeeping, security), and office insurance.
Emergency Readiness: Maintain first-aid kits and medical emergency protocols; own incident response for office emergencies (power, water, AC, fire); be reachable after-hours for critical issues.
Office Expansion & Build-out: Partner on the ongoing BLR office expansion project — coordinate with architecture/interior vendors, manage phased move-in, snag lists, and post-handover issue resolution.
What We're Looking For
Experience & Core Skills: 4+ years of experience in office operations, admin, or facilities, with the ability to independently manage vendors and facilities end-to-end.
Ownership & Work Style: Strong ownership mindset with high attention to detail and organization; proactive in identifying and resolving issues before escalation.
Execution & Problem-Solving: Highly execution-focused—able to drive tasks to completion without constant follow-ups; structured thinker capable of building simple, effective systems (inventory, processes).
Stakeholder Management: Strong people and vendor management skills, with the ability to handle both internal teams and external partners effectively.
Languages (Mandatory): Fluent in Kannada, English, and Hindi — essential for effectively managing local vendors, contracted staff, and the diverse internal team.
Tools (Mandatory): Comfortable with everyday productivity tools — Excel / Google Sheets (inventory trackers, expense logs, vendor lists), Word / Google Docs (vendor contracts, process documents), and basic email/calendar coordination.
Additional Strengths (Nice-to-have): Experience working in startup environments, scaling offices (30 → 70+ people), and exposure to basic budgeting or cost tracking.
