What are the responsibilities and job description for the Office Manager position at W H Bagshaw?
We aren’t your typical manufacturing facility. We are a 156-year-old, 5th-generation family-owned business rooted right here in New Hampshire. While we take immense pride in our deep history, our culture is anything but "stuck in the past." We offer a supportive, high-energy environment where your work is visible, your voice is heard, and your growth is prioritized.
We work hard, but we value your time away, too—which is why we offer a unique schedule with every other Friday off.
Do you love keeping things organized, juggling a few different tasks, and being the go-to person who keeps the office running like clockwork?
We are looking for a sharp Business Management Graduate who is ready to jumpstart their career.
This is an Office Manager role designed for someone who is comfortable with numbers today but has the ambition to take on more operational responsibility tomorrow. If you lean into technology, enjoy a little variety in your day, and want to see how a successful business runs from the inside out, this is your perfect fit.
