About You

We're looking for an Office and Culture Coordinator on a 1-year fixed-term contract to support us in maintaining an inclusive, fun and collaborative work environment, with the aim of enhancing the employee experience. You are the person who keeps everything running smoothly - someone who loves organisation and proactively finds solutions to problems before they arise.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where creating a positive team culture is at the heart of what you do, this is the role for you.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in an office assistant or receptionist role is a plus.

• A natural problem-solver who can tackle challenges big and small.

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.

• Proactive and adaptable, with a confident and determined approach.

• Excellent communication skills to work alongside colleagues across all areas of the business.

• Happy to work onsite full-time to be at the heart of our office operations.

About OpenRent

At OpenRent, we’re revolutionising the UK rental market. With over 8.4 million users, we’re the largest rental platform in the UK.

Our mission is to make renting fairer, safer and cheaper for everyone. We’ve replaced outdated, fee-heavy practices with technology-driven solutions that empower tenants and landlords alike.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: Deliver meaningful impact to the OpenRent team through your work

• Culture: Join a small, collaborative team with quick decision-making and autonomy

• Growth: Shape your role, develop and test your skills, and steer the direction of company culture

About The Role

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract based full-time at our office in Brixton.

As an Office and Culture Coordinator you'll be responsible for:

• Owning the day-to-day operations of the office in Brixton, from office improvements to the weekly food delivery.

• Organising weekly team lunches, monthly socials, and helping to facilitate bigger events like Christmas parties, Away Weekends and Away Office trips.

• Taking ownership of our social media channels by planning, scheduling and producing regular content that gives prospective candidates an authentic look at life at OpenRent.

• Supporting the team in meaningful ways - from spearheading charitable giving initiatives to organising birthday surprises and facilitating office massages and yoga sessions.

• Supporting and developing our team culture by responding to feedback and suggestions from the team.

• Supporting employee onboarding and offboarding, alongside other administrative tasks.
