Office Manager

About Powerus

Powerus is an American defense technology company building the next generation of autonomous systems for defense, national security, and commercial applications.

We are growing at an exceptional pace, combining advanced engineering, manufacturing, and technology to deliver innovative solutions at scale. As we establish and expand our major manufacturing operations in Rock Hill, South Carolina, we are building the infrastructure, teams, and operational capabilities needed to support our next phase of growth.

We operate with the urgency, ambition, and agility of a startup, and we need people who thrive in that environment.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an exceptionally organized, proactive, and resourceful Office Manager to help keep our rapidly expanding Rock Hill facility running smoothly.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of the day-to-day workplace environment within one of the fastest-growing areas of our business. From ensuring our teams have everything they need to operate effectively to coordinating essential workplace services, you will play an important role in creating an organized, professional, and efficient working environment.

Working closely with the local leadership team, you will help establish and maintain the processes, relationships, and standards that allow our people to focus on delivering results.

We are not looking for someone who simply waits for instructions or reacts when something goes wrong. We want someone who anticipates needs, takes initiative, solves problems, and takes genuine pride in keeping things running.

As our business grows, so will the scale, complexity, and opportunity associated with this position.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the daily coordination and smooth operation of our Rock Hill workplace, ensuring a consistently organized, efficient, and welcoming environment.
• Oversee essential office services, workplace resources, supplies, and administrative arrangements to ensure employees have everything they need to work effectively.
• Coordinate and maintain relationships with key workplace service providers, ensuring consistent service quality, responsiveness, and value for the business.
• Proactively manage workplace requirements, anticipate operational needs, and address issues before they affect productivity.
• Support the local leadership team with wider operational initiatives, facility coordination, improvement projects, and the ongoing development of our Rock Hill site.
• Establish practical administrative processes, maintain accurate records, coordinate purchasing activities, and help ensure effective management of workplace expenditure.
• Support internal teams, management, visitors, and new employees with general workplace requirements, ensuring a professional and well-managed experience.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, introduce better systems, and simplify administrative processes as the business expands.
• Help maintain high standards of workplace presentation, organization, and employee experience across a rapidly growing operation.
• Take ownership of emerging operational priorities and provide flexible administrative support wherever required to keep the business moving.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in office management, workplace operations, facilities coordination, business administration, or a comparable role.
• Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mentality with a strong sense of personal ownership and accountability.
• Experience coordinating external suppliers, service providers, and general workplace operations.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to work effectively across all levels of an organization.
• Comfortable working independently, making sensible decisions, and resolving issues without unnecessary escalation.
• Good working knowledge of standard office systems, administrative processes, and productivity tools.
• The ability to establish structure and maintain high standards in a fast-moving, constantly evolving environment.
• A hands-on, adaptable approach and a willingness to take responsibility for whatever needs to be done.
• Experience in a growing manufacturing, technology, or industrial business would be advantageous but is not essential.

The Powerus Environment

Powerus is not a traditional corporate environment. We move quickly, make decisions, and expect people to take ownership of their responsibilities.

Our Rock Hill operation is expanding rapidly, and the systems and processes that support it need to evolve just as quickly.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a genuine impact, helping shape how our workplace operates as we build out a major manufacturing and technology facility.

This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, takes satisfaction in getting things done, and wants to be part of building something significant.
