Hoping I might find someone who is in either one of these worlds!
Long story short, I am currently employed as an Office Operations manager for an office of about 270 staff. The company is a fashion buying/design office. I feel this is relevant as the nature of the business means we have a lot of physical 'stuff'
My role includes overseeing reception and goods in/out, all of the building hard and soft facilities maintenance etc. as well as the more fluffy bits like events, Christmas party, communications, employee engagement, a few elements for induction/onboarding etc.
But basically everything that doesn't fit into a defined role such as buying, merchandising, finance etc. is my problem. There are so many tasks and responsibilities I couldn't even list them all.
As the business has grown it's become way too much for one person and I'm trying to build a case to either split my role and/or take on a new team member. I also think I'm not being paid enough for how much I have on my plate/under my remit so want to push for a pay rise if I can't get a new team member signed off.
If your job is an office manager, or a facilities manager, what are your areas of responsibility, and if you don't mind sharing, how much do you earn?
Thank you!
