Office Manager (ONSITE)

We are seeking an OFFICE MANAGER (Onsite) for a full-time and direct hire role for one of our amazing partners. This role is onsite 5 days a week in Irvine, CA. You must be a US Citizen or Green Card Holder. This role does NOT offer sponsorship, it's NOT a consulting role, and we do NOT work with 3rd parties!

Overview

We are seeking a highly organized, hands-on Office Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operations. This is a newly created role for someone who enjoys being the person who keeps things moving, solves problems before they become issues, and can comfortably balance administrative responsibilities with physical logistics. You will oversee office operations, inventory, shipping and receiving, vendors, equipment tracking, visitor management, and employee support. This business supports programs across multiple locations, so you will also play an important part in ensuring hardware, supplies, deployment kits, and other time-sensitive materials are properly prepared and delivered. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is proactive, resourceful, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.

This position is more than traditional office administration. You will become the central point of coordination for the physical and operational side of the office. You will ensure that people have what they need, equipment is where it should be, shipments go out on time, inventory stays accurate, and everyday office operations run smoothly.
