Why this Office Manager résumé works

  • Cost savings are itemised: £63k taken out of running costs by retendering cleaning, print, catering and confidential waste shows exactly which contracts the office manager controls.
  • The office move is told by its outcome, 90 desks live on the Monday and no chargeable hours lost, which is how a consultancy partner judges whether a move went well.
  • Hybrid working is turned into income: occupancy from 41% to 68% and a released floor sublet for £48k a year is a facilities result a finance director will notice.
  • The restaurant years at The Bell & Barrow are kept short but measured, rostering 28 staff and cutting wastage from 6.1% to 2.8%, so the career change reads as transferable operations experience.
