Office Manager

Recognised as one of Australia’s Top 100 Best Workplaces 2025, McNab is on the hunt for an Office Manager to be our friendly face and keep our workplace running at its best.

At McNab, we don’t do average. We back people who take ownership, chase improvements, and want to make a real impact in their work. If you thrive in a fast-paced, solutions-focused environment and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares about doing things well — we’d love to hear from you!

About the role

We are seeking a people-focused Office Manager to join our South Brisbane Office. This role is responsible for ensuring the smooth day-to-day operations across all of our office locations, leading a team of administration staff, and delivering an efficient, professional, and safe workplace environment that aligns with The McNab Way.

You’ll oversee everything from facilities management, office presentation and supplies, through to reception, travel bookings, records management, and event support — ensuring McNab offices reflect the high standards we’re known for. Just as importantly, you’ll foster a positive, collaborative culture across your team, providing coaching, mentoring, and opportunities for professional growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role where no two days will look the same. It’s perfect for someone who thrives on variety, enjoys working with people at all levels, and takes pride in creating an environment where others can succeed.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading, mentoring and supporting administration teams across all McNab offices (Brisbane, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, and Sydney)
• Monitor the workload of the team, allocate responsibilities and drive a high-performance culture
• Overseeing office operations including records, correspondence, event support, and travel bookings.
• Ensuring facilities, meeting rooms and common areas are well presented and functional.
• Managing office and kitchen supplies, office equipment and building access.
• Providing a warm, professional welcome to visitors and supporting senior leaders with administration needs.
• Driving improvements in systems, processes, and office operations.

About you

You’re an experienced Office Manager or administration leader who thrives in a busy, people-focused environment. You know how to balance leadership with hands-on support, and you’re just as comfortable coaching your team as you are jumping in to get things done.

Ideally, you will have:

• Proven experience in office management or administration leadership roles.
• Experience leading and developing teams across multiple locations.
• Strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to juggle competing priorities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and related systems.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• A proactive, continuous improvement mindset.
