One in ten homes in the UK now have one of our clever, problem-solving products and we’re widely recognised as one of the leading ecommerce innovators of the past few years. Named by The Sunday Times as the 66th fastest growing company in 2024, we’re a British success story and our incredible growth isn’t stopping any time soon – and we’d love you to join us on this exciting journey!

The Team

You’ll be working with a group of exceptional people who think independently but collaborate as a strong team to deliver exceptional results. Career progression? Absolutely – there are plenty of opportunities to grow and develop, as our rapid growth continues.

We’re fully office-based

We believe that we are at our best when we’re together, and that’s why our team fully works from our office from our swanky new offices in Snodland, near Maidstone.

And there’s some pretty sweet incentives to coming to the office, too, including free breakfast every day!

This Role

This is an excellent opportunity to join us on our fast-growth journey and be part of something special.

We’re looking for a hands-on, experienced Facilities Manager to join our team to help accelerate our growth even further.

You will be responsible for preserving the good condition and infrastructure of our sites, ensuring that facilities are safe and functioning well so that our team – your colleagues – can do their best work, in the best possible environment.

This is a newly created role to support the ongoing expansion of the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include:

· Ensuring that high standards are maintained and that facilities are safe and fit for purpose at all times

· Manage third party office systems and maintenance contracts, oversee renewals or proactively source alternative options to streamline processes and reduce costs

· Managing the janitorial team to ensure our sites are kept clean, including management of

regular deep cleaning

· You will ensure that all key equipment, facilities and services operate correctly

· You will organise reactive maintenance where necessary, coordinating and managing external tradespeople and contractors

· Scheduling, tendering and management of planned maintenance and refurbishment works

· Manage contractor and vendor relationships

· Conduct regular inspections, identify potential issues, and implement effective solutions to prevent downtime and costly repairs

· Managing any office or site moves as required

· You’ll be willing to get ‘hands on’ and roll your sleeves up to fix minor building issues

You’ll excel in this role if you have the following skills & experience:

· You’ll have a passion for building maintenance and a commitment to delivering operational excellence

· Experience with Facilities Management or a similar trade

· An awareness of Health and Safety regulations and safe working practices

· A keen eye for detail – you’ll be unapologetically a perfectionist

· A proactive approach to maintenance with an attitude of wanting to deliver a first class environment for our team
