If your life’s motto is “If you can’t go around it, over it, or through it, you had better negotiate with it.” (or something similar) then we want you to apply.

Overview
We are looking for someone to join our team as a workspace manager. Essentially, your job will be to create and maintain a pleasant and productive work environment across our three South African offices, ensuring high levels of comfort, safety and productivity.

The objective is to create a problem-free, safe and socially cohesive environment consistent across sites where our people can work do their best work.

We need someone who is as comfortable sorting out flowers in the training room as they are changing a light fitting in the support office. A person who is as comfortable negotiating a better deal on First Aid training for our Health and Safety Reps as project managing an office move.
