From administrative jobs to managerial responsibilities, office managers ensure various office operations run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. This typically involves juggling multiple tasks throughout the working week, such as conducting job interviews, managing payroll and organising company events.
Office managers are responsible for managerial tasks, such as hiring staff and forming financial projections, whereas office administrators lead only on office-based tasks, such as reconciling accounts.
