About the role - Office & Events Manager

At Aquablu, experiences matter. A lot.

As we scale and prepare to move into our 1,600 m² newly designed, high-end experience center, we're looking for an Office & Events Manager who takes full ownership of this space and brings it to life.

This is not a classic office role. Our new office will be a true experience center - a place where we showcase our product to clients, partners, and investors, host events that strengthen relationships, and create moments our employees genuinely enjoy.

You are the owner of that experience. From how the space is set up and maintained, to how events are designed and executed, you shape how Aquablu feels - internally and externally.

If you love creating memorable moments, hosting people, and turning a space into a story, this role is for you.

Office & operations

• Play a key role in our upcoming office move, from coordination to final setup
• Provide light PA?'style support for C?'level where needed

People, Culture & Growth

• Own the onboarding experience, making sure new joiners feel welcomed from day one
• Work closely with People & Culture to continuously improve life at Aquablu
• Jump in where needed and proactively improve how we work as we grow

Make it your own: This role is really what you make of it. Depending on your interests and strengths, you can get involved in any projects across the company.

Who you are

• You've got 2+ years of experience in office management, events and/or client facing roles.
