Before we start, a few words:

Working in the People function of an HR technology business is both a real privilege and a meaningful challenge: HiBob is building a product for HR teams, so the way we create our own employee experience matters deeply. This role is therefore vital in helping us build something exceptional inside an organisation that is, at its core, a people company.

What we are looking for
We are looking for an Office & Experience Manager to join HiBob’s EMEA People team. This role leads the day-to-day operations and employee experience of our London office. You will play a key role in bringing HiBob’s culture and values to life via our office and employee experiences.

As a matrix organisation, you’ll report into the UK People & Culture leadership and manage the London Office Coordinator, whilst also being a member of our global Employee Experience team, as well as partnering closely with teams across People & Culture, FP&A, IT, Facilities and Leadership to create a welcoming, engaging, and high-performing workplace experience for our Bobbers.

About you
The heart of this role is creating exceptional employee experiences and building an environment where people feel connected, supported, and excited to come to work. We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive, creative, and genuinely passionate about people, culture, and workplace experience.

This is a dynamic and varied role where no two days look the same; from managing office operations and workplace projects, to leading wellbeing initiatives, company events, onboarding experiences, vendor management, and employee engagement activities in the UK and guiding the strategy for EMEA employee experience. We’re looking for someone who is confident juggling multiple priorities, solving problems quickly, and building strong relationships across all levels of the business.

This role is fully office-based in our London Office, so you’ll need to want to work onsite five days a week, and be a visible and approachable presence within the office community.

We use our HR platform Bob (of course!), Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace and various workplace and event management tools on a daily basis. Experience with workplace operations, facilities, employee experience, event management, or office management within a fast-paced environment would be a big plus.
