Graduate Office Manager
Are you a graduate with a 2:1 or higher? Are you great with people? And do you have natural organisational skills and the appetite to develop your career through working with a young and dynamic team?
This is an excellent opportunity for an exceptional graduate to gain a grounding in this business with the potential to develop into an executive role as the business continues to grow.
Based in London, Fry-IT is one of the UK’s fastest growing open source technology development businesses. There is just one catch, it’s an unconventional business that hires only exceptional talent. This is because once hired you join a team that has no fixed hours of work – people choose their own hours of work and come into the office when they need to. We trust each other and don’t believe in telling each other how to work, rather we hire people able to listen and learn and work this out for themselves. We believe this has helped the business to grow through the recession.
If you can handle lots of hard work and responsibility, and this sounds exciting and not frightening, please read on.
