Be the Spark Behind Our Brand-New HQ!
Are you ready to take on a role that’s bursting with energy, creativity, and responsibility? This is your chance to be at the heart of a global transformation! At Vix Technology, we’re on a mission to revolutionise public transit systems across the globe, and now, we’re bringing that same innovative spirit to Manchester with a multi-million-pound investment in our new headquarters.
We’re looking for a dynamic, creative, problem solver who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, tackle challenges, and build something extraordinary as the Manchester Office Manager. If you’re driven by making a real impact, this is your moment to shine.
Your mission:
From day one, you’ll take the lead on:
- Creating a seamless workspace: Ensure the office runs like clockwork, handling everything from visitor management to travel bookings, while identifying and overseeing office enhancements for it to reflect our bold vision.
- Managing a busy GM's schedule: Enable the GM in their role by managing their diary across timezones, preparing briefing materials ahead of meetings & trips, coordinating domestic & international travel and managing expenses.
- Cross-functional Liaison & Discretion: Acting as a trusted point of contact between the GM, internal teams, external partners and senior stakeholders — handling sensitive information with full confidentiality and representing the GM's office professionally at all times.
- Fostering a vibrant culture: Play your part in turning the HQ into a buzzing hub of creativity and collaboration, such as organising team social events, company meetings and visitor experiences.
- Stepping in on office related topics: Be the local point of contact in the office, whether it is to support local onboarding, administration, recruitment and HSE.
This isn’t your average office management role – it’s your chance to be part of something bigger, to build from the ground up, and to work with a team that’s shaping the future of public transit technology.
What you’ll do:
- Be the face of Vix Manchester: warmly welcome visitors, clients, and employees with professionalism and energy and support the induction and onboarding of new hires

- Serve as the EA for the UK GM and complete all administrative activities as required
- Collaborate with building management and contractors to keep everything running smoothly ensuring compliance and HSE regulations are adhered to

- Energy & initiative: You’re a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- A creative mind: You can think outside the box to find fresh solutions to everyday challenges.
