Office Manager (part time, contract to hire)

About the role

Method is growing fast, and our New York office is the hub for a lot of that energy. We're looking for a part-time in-person Office Manager to own the day-to-day operations of the NY office and make it a great place to work, for everyone who walks through the door.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the first point of contact for equipment and supply requests from NY employees.
• Own package receiving, stocking, distribution; keep the space clean and notify recipients promptly.
• Maintain snack and supply inventory; restock proactively and flag needs before things run out.
• Support new hire onboarding for NY-based employees: set up desks, stage swag, procure monitors and keyboards, and join the day-one onboarding session.
• Manage and organize the swag room; track inventory and flag reorder needs.
• Greet and host visitors and guests in the office.
• Identify and propose improvements to how the office runs, whether that's a simple Slack workflow, a smarter reorder system, or a better way to track equipment.

Qualifications

• You've managed a physical environment, an office, a retail floor, a service operation, without someone else driving the agenda.
• You're organized in a way that shows up in your work: things don't fall through the cracks, and you notice when something needs attention before it becomes a problem.
• You're warm; new hires and visitors feel welcomed by you, and teammates feel comfortable asking you for help.
• You figure things out. When you don't know the answer, you make a reasonable attempt before asking, and you come with options, not just questions.
• You're comfortable with software tools and can pick up new systems quickly.
• You're honest about what you want: whether part-time is a long-term preference or a step toward something bigger, we want to know.

Extra Awesome Experience

• Experience with a corporate office move, facilities project, or large-scale logistics.
• Interest in building lightweight systems or automations to reduce repetitive work.
• Experience in estate management or executive assistance.
• Familiarity with recruiting coordination or scheduling tools.
