What You Will Do

As an Workplace Manager at Joko, your mission will be to bring both structure and energy to the team. You will own a broad and highly challenging scope of responsibilities, ensuring that our office is a flawless place to work and that our team experiences are second to none. You will report directly to the VP People.

Your responsibilities:

Office & Workplace Excellence:You will ensure that our Paris office is not just functional, but impeccable-clean, organized, and a true pleasure to work in. You will be the first point of contact for all office-related matters and the key resource for remote employees across France and abroad. Managing our service providers, supplies, and facilities, you will create and maintain an outstanding workspace where people feel great every single day. A spotless, well-run office is your standard.

Events & Team Cohesion:You will bring the team together through thoughtfully planned and high-quality events. From our All Hands meetings to Joko Academies, Team Events, Joko Drinks, Joko Houses, Offsites, and our legendary Christmas Party-you will make sure each gathering is not just well-organized, but also a moment of real connection and good vibes.

People Operations & Onboarding:First impressions matter, and onboarding is a critical part of the Joko experience. You will own and refine the onboarding process to ensure that every new hire is welcomed seamlessly-with everything from employment contracts and IT setup to team introductions and custom Joko goodies handled flawlessly.

Admin & Compliance :You will track employee expenses (travel, work-from-home allowance, etc.) and ensure that all invoices are correctly recorded for our accounting team (Qonto). In collaboration with the Finance & Legal team, you will oversee our compliance routines, particularly regarding GDPR requirements, and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

- Mindset:You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep passion for People & Workplace topics. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, love challenges, and are eager to get hands-on.

- Interpersonal Skills:You build strong relationships and foster a sense of belonging within the team.
- Autonomy & Ownership:You take full ownership of your responsibilities and manage complex projects from start to finish with little supervision.
