Office Manager (fixed term contract )
At Sky Czech Republic, we build the global streaming platform behind services like Peacock and Sky Showtime. Millions of users rely on it every day — Peacock alone reaches over 40 million viewers in the US.
Our Prague tech hub is a key part of this global effort, working closely with teams in Lisbon, London, and New York. From frontend and backend development to platform engineering, video playback, CDN, and data, we push the boundaries of streaming technology at scale.
What is the plot?
Our Business Operations team is a small, close-knit group that looks after office management, HR, recruitment, employer branding, and finance. We help keep everyday life running smoothly for our colleagues in the Prague tech hub.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys office management and attention to detail, and who wants to play a hands-on role in supporting colleagues and shaping the day-to-day office experience. This is a fixed‑term role, covering a colleague during parental leave.
What role will you play?
You will take care of the day-to-day running of the Sky Czech Republic office and help make it a place where people enjoy working, and visitors feel welcome. You’ll be the go-to person for office operations, facilities, events, travel, and executive support, keeping things running smoothly and stepping in when something needs attention.
You’ll work closely with local teams like HR, Finance, Recruitment, and the Director, and you’ll also be in regular contact with colleagues from Sky teams in other countries. The role suits someone who enjoys working with people, takes ownership naturally, and is comfortable coordinating across different teams and time zones.
You won’t be doing everything on your own. An office assistant is available on-site five days a week and supports day-to-day tasks, including reception, basic office coordination, and operational support. You’ll work closely together and guide priorities, while keeping ownership of the overall office operations.

Office Operations: Oversee daily office functioning; coordinate with building management; maintain supplies and inventory; handle mail, deliveries, access cards, and office onboarding; support small cross‑team projects.

Travel Coordination: Arrange business travel, including flights, hotels, visas, and transport; manage VIP travel; support Finance with travel reporting.
Supplier & Budget Management: Track office budget and spending; manage supplier relationships; ensure service quality; handle procurement, approvals, and order tracking.
Leadership Support: Assist Director; manage calendars, meetings, and travel; handle ad‑hoc organisational tasks.
What skills do you need to play your role well?
Positive, hands‑on approach: Can‑do attitude, enjoys solving problems and improving processes.
Problem‑solving mindset: Calm and practical under pressure; proactive when facing unexpected situations; enjoys making things work.
Office operations experience: Practical background in office management, facilities, or executive support, including work with senior leaders and handling confidential matters.
Communication & collaboration: Clear, friendly communicator who enjoys helping colleagues and works smoothly with HR, Finance, Recruitment, and external partners.

Organisation & reliability: Well-organised, able to manage multiple tasks, take responsibility, and keep daily operations running smoothly.
Language: Fluent in Czech and English.
Working model: Willingness to work onsite in Karlín five days a week: this is primarily an in-office role, not remote.
