  • Be the operational backbone of the office, managing supplies, vendors, deliveries, and the space itself, plus the food and kitchen program (daily lunches, groceries, snacks, and coffee).
  • Plan and run company events, team outings, and milestones worth marking, from birthdays and work anniversaries to team wins.
