Sophie Bennett
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Office Manager role at Wise. The combination of your organisation and this position aligns closely with the direction in which I want to take my career.
In my current role as Office Manager at Monzo Bank, I have gained experience in managing a headquarters operation and a busy executive diary. Alongside that, I actively focus on onboarding new joiners and vendor management — for me that is an essential part of the work. I recognise in the Wise job advert the way these elements come together.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further in person. You can reach me at sophie.bennett@example.co.uk or on +44 7700 556677.

How to write a strong cover letter as a office manager
The four standard blocks — and what to put in each.
1. Opening — why THIS role
In one sentence name the specific role and company. In the second sentence note where you saw the vacancy if relevant. Avoid generic openers like 'I am writing to apply for your position'.
2. Body — why you fit
This is where you make the match. Take two or three concrete elements from your background that map one-to-one to the vacancy. For office manager: mention results in numbers (where possible), specific systems, certifications or projects.
3. Company motivation — why THIS organisation
One or two sentences on why you specifically want to work there. Concrete and specific: a product, a strategic move, a cultural marker.
4. Closing — concrete call to action
Ask for an interview. State your availability. Sign off with 'Yours sincerely'. Total length: 250-400 words, one page.
