Description
WE ARE BASH
Bash is South Africa's largest omnichannel shopping platform. We connect over 500 brands across the physical and digital world, for millions of South Africans, every day. We're building something with real scale and real consequence.
We're founder led, a team of true owners and humble learners. We work hard, hold a high bar, and show up for each other. The problems aren't easy and the pace is real but when you break through, the impact is felt across the business and by the customers who rely on us.
If that sounds like the kind of place where you'd do the best work of your career, we'd like to meet you.
We’re looking for a proactive, organised and hands-on Office Manager to keep Bash Central and our office hubs running smoothly.
You’ll be the face of Bash, creating a warm, welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors, while making sure our spaces are clean, safe, well-maintained and ready for our teams to do their best work.
From coordinating our outsourced cleaning team and keeping our hubs stocked with the essentials, to managing suppliers, sorting out facilities and keeping a close eye on spend, you’ll bring the organisation, ownership and attention to detail that keep our workplace running like clockwork.
If you’re a people person who loves making things happen, takes pride in the details and believes a great workplace experience is all in the little things, we’d love to meet you.
