Workplace Manager

About the role ✨

At Aquablu, we’re revolutionizing the way you hydrate. Our mission is to transform global drinking habits by replacing single-use plastics with innovative, sustainable hydration solutions that elevate your well-being.

“That might sound really ambitious, but our team is part of an inspiring movement in an industry that’s thirsty for change.” Marc, Co-founder of Aquablu

As our office is the beating heart of our fast-growing scale-up, we’re looking for an experienced Workplace Manager to help shape our next chapter as we continue to grow and prepare for an exciting move to our 1,600 m² newly designed, high-end experience center.

We’re looking for someone who’s no stranger to office management, loves owning their space, and can keep everything running smoothly while the company around them moves at scale-up speed. 👀

You are the backbone of our office. From day-to-day office management to supporting our founders and welcoming everyone who walks through the door, you make sure things work, feel organized, and stay human.

What you’ll be doing:

• Ownership – Take full ownership of our office and workplace operations and act as the first point of contact for employees, visitors, partners, and clients

• Operations – Manage office facilities, security, vendors, and external stakeholders to ensure everything runs smoothly day to day

• Supplies – Own all office supplies, tools, lunch, snacks, and the overall office setup

• Vendors – Coordinate suppliers and service providers, from couriers to coffee machines

• Relocation – Play a key role in our upcoming office move, including coordination, re-organization, and set-up

• Onboarding – Own the onboarding of new joiners, making sure their very first Aquablu experience is smooth, welcoming, and well-prepared

• Experience – Work closely with the People & Culture team to create and maintain a great employee experience

• Support – Provide PA-style support to the founders where needed (planning, coordination, logistics)

• Events – Plan and organize office events, team moments, and partner & client events

• Celebration – Bring energy to the office by organizing birthdays, work anniversaries, and small moments worth celebrating

• Go-to – Be the go-to person in the office for practical questions and ad-hoc needs

• Scale-up – Jump in where needed, proactively improving how our office works as we grow and change
