Role Overview

This role is central to keeping the CHAOS UK team running smoothly day‑to‑day. Based in our new Soho office, you’ll take the lead on workplace operations — making sure everything from supplies to space management is handled — while also supporting the team on people and recruiting tasks, like scheduling interviews and organising events. It’s a hands‑on role that suits someone who’s organised, proactive, and happy to roll up their sleeves to help wherever it’s needed. As a fast‑growing startup, we’re looking for someone who thrives in a flexible environment and enjoys solving problems as they come up.

Responsibilities

• Office operations & workspace ownership – keep the CHAOS UK office running smoothly, manage supplies, shape space as the team grows, and organise team events.
• Team logistics & support – coordinate travel bookings, and return schedules for team members travelling for field deployments, with good judgement and responsiveness.
• People & recruitment coordination – schedule virtual and onsite interviews, welcome candidates, assist with onboarding, and act as the UK point of contact for people operations.
• Internal and external communications – share updates, photos, and occasional internal communication; support external communications to raise CHAOS’s profile in the UK and Europe.

Minimum Requirements

• Problem‑solving mindset – resourceful, proactive, and adept at figuring things out.
• Team player with humility – willing to pitch in on anything to build a collaborative atmosphere.
• Organised and adaptable – stay organised, plan ahead, and adjust quickly to changes.
• Positive energy & team culture – organise socials, improve morale, and build a great office culture.
• London‑based – must work from the Soho office most days.

Preferred Requirements

• Experience in office management, project management, or in armed forces, technology or defence companies.
• Event management – organise conferences, office openings, internal celebrations.
• Digital content creation – support US and BD teams to create branding and content.

Benefits

• Private medical insurance (including dental and vision) for employees and dependents, fully covered by the company.
• 5% pension match.
• Free daily lunch and unlimited time off.
• Competitive base salary, pre‑IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon) annual bonuses.
