Office & People Operations Manager

  • In-house
  • HR
  • Latvia

Core Profile & Expectations

Paybis is looking for a proactive, resourceful, and people-driven Office Manager to run the day-to-day operations of our Riga office. The office renovation is complete — the focus now is on maintaining and elevating the workspace, ensuring seamless logistics, and creating an environment where every employee and guest feels genuinely cared for.


This is not a task-execution role. We need someone who takes ownership of the entire office ecosystem: from ordering snacks and managing vendors to booking business travel, coordinating branded merchandise, and shipping equipment to employees. The ideal candidate is autonomous, detail-obsessed, and brings a hospitality mindset to everything they do.



Functional Responsibilities

Office Operations & Facilities

  • Full responsibility for smooth daily operations with minimal oversight
  • Manage all vendors: cleaning, water, coffee, food delivery, tech maintenance
  • Coordinate minor repairs and improvements — the renovation is done, now it's about upkeep and continuous enhancement
  • Ensure all office zones (workstations, meeting rooms, kitchen, common areas) are always clean, stocked, and welcoming


Branded Merchandise & Equipment Logistics

  • Order, manage, and distribute branded company merchandise (apparel, accessories, gifts, promo items)
  • Coordinate shipment of laptops, equipment, and packages to employees — including international shipping
  • Track all outbound and inbound deliveries; maintain an up-to-date logistics log
  • Work with reliable courier partners and customs documentation where applicable
  • Maintain inventory of branded items and proactively replenish stock


Business Travel Management

  • Book flights, hotels, and ground transportation for business trips
  • Collect travel requests, verify approval, and ensure booking aligns with company travel policy
  • Handle itinerary changes, cancellations, and last-minute adjustments calmly and efficiently
  • Maintain preferred supplier relationships (airlines, hotels, travel agencies)
  • Track travel expenses and report monthly


Procurement & Budget Management

  • Order and manage office supplies, groceries, hygiene products, and equipment
  • Proactively forecast needs and maintain cost-effective procurement
  • Track and report office budget monthly — full transparency and financial discipline
  • Research and onboard new vendors when current quality or pricing is not optimal


Workplace Experience & Hospitality

Create and sustain a workspace that employees are proud to work in

  • Ensure high-quality food, snack, and coffee experience at all times
  • Host guests, partners, and candidates — deliver a professional 'wow-effect'
  • Proactively communicate with employees about office updates, new services, and events


Internal Events & Onboarding

  • Support planning and execution of internal events (team celebrations, milestones, seasonal events)
  • Prepare workstations before new employee arrival; welcome and onboard newcomers into office routines
  • Coordinate with HR on event logistics and onboarding experience


Capabilities & Technical Expertise

Ownership & Initiative: Independently identify improvements and deliver execution end-to-end

Logistics & Branded Merch: Coordinate shipping, equipment dispatch, and branded product ordering

Travel Management: Book flights, hotels, and transfers for business trips

Vendor & Facilities Management: Manage suppliers with negotiations, SLAs, and quality control

Workplace Experience: Hospitality mindset — proactive care for every employee and guest

Budget Accuracy: Plan purchases, track expenses, and report transparently

Communication: Proactive, warm, solution-first communication style

Experience & Background

  • 2+ years in office administration, operations, hospitality, or executive assistant roles
  • Hands-on experience with logistics, courier services, and shipping (including international)
  • Experience ordering and managing branded merchandise or corporate gifting
  • Practical knowledge of business travel booking (flights, hotels, ground transport)
  • Experience working with vendors and contractors (cleaners, technicians, couriers, suppliers)
  • Procurement and budget tracking experience
  • Event coordination experience is a strong plus
  • Tech/fintech environment experience is advantageous


Leadership Qualities

  • Trusted Operator
  • Proactive Problem-Solver — identifies issues before they become visible
  • Calm Under Pressure — handles multiple requests simultaneously without losing quality
  • People-First — understands that office experience directly shapes company culture
  • Professional & Diplomatic — resolves service issues constructively

Nice-to-Have
