Role
Who you are
- Prior experience in office management, executive assistance, or a similar operational support role
- Exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through. You don’t drop balls
- Proactive mindset: you flag issues early and come with a suggested solution, not just a problem
- Comfortable being the onsite point person and taking full ownership of the physical office experience, with minimal oversight needed once ramped
- Strong vendor communication skills with the ability to manage multiple relationships, follow through on open items, and keep things moving
- Comfortable with basic IT and AV troubleshooting as a first line of support. You don’t need to be a tech expert, but you stay calm under pressure and know when to escalate
- Reliable, trustworthy, and discreet. You have access to the office and sometimes sensitive operational information, and you treat that with care
- NYC-based and available to work onsite Tuesday through Thursday
- A genuine enjoyment of keeping things running well. You find satisfaction in a well-stocked kitchen, a smooth team lunch, and a problem solved before it was ever noticed
- Familiarity with Slack and basic office tools. You communicate clearly and keep the right people looped in without over-communicating
What the job involves
- Wagmo is looking for a Part-Time Office Manager to keep our NYC office running smoothly and our team well taken care of
- This is a hands-on, onsite role for someone who takes genuine pride in creating a well-run, welcoming environment, anticipates needs before they become problems, and operates with low drama and high follow-through
- You will own the day-to-day operations of our FiDi office and serve as the primary point of contact for vendors, deliveries, and facilities
- You will report directly to the Director of People
- Own office supplies and pantry restocking, including kitchen, bathroom, and pet-friendly essentials, keeping inventory consistent without overspending
- Coordinate and own our weekly team lunch, from ordering to setup to cleanup, managing preferences and ensuring a smooth experience each week
- Maintain general office readiness and light tidying, coordinating with our cleaning vendors as needed and ensuring the space is always welcoming and guest-ready
- Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for office vendors including internet, cleaning, AV, and facilities, scheduling repairs, tracking follow-through, and escalating issues as needed
- Manage office access logistics, mail, and packages, and serve as the liaison with building management for access-related issues
- Provide basic IT and AV troubleshooting as first line of support for conference room tech, Wi-Fi, and common office equipment, coordinating with vendors when issues require escalation
- Coordinate hosting, catering, and setup for high-impact office moments including board meetings, client visits, and remote team visits, ensuring everything feels effortless and well-prepared
