What's the Role of An Office Manager?
The office manager is involved in hiring and training staff, payroll, managing the conference room, medical benefits, telephone systems, and office renovations. They may also oversee relocating an office to a larger space, and implementing new CRM systems. At a small to mid-size office of between 15 to 120 people, the office manager typically reports to the CEO or COO. At a larger firm, the office manager may have less responsibility and is often part of a larger administrative team, reporting to the COO or CAO and supporting specific office management functions such as running the conference room or orienting new employees.
The Office Manager's Duties Often Include:
- Managing receptionists, including telephone and incoming/outgoing mail and packages
- Overseeing office supplies, equipment vendor relationships and balance sheets
- Negotiating the purchase of office supplies and furniture, and making economical purchase decisions
- Ensuring office materials, printers and kitchen supplies are in stock
- Ensuring conference rooms are tidy and stocked with necessary items
- Assisting receptionists and assistants, as needed
- Entering new hires into Concur, or other travel and expense system
- Acting as liaison with American Express Corporate travel and managing the American Express Corporate Card program in conjunction with a company’s finance department
- Organizing employee events such as office breakfasts or holiday parties
