About Us

Stretch Inc is a growing Cape Town-based events infrastructure company specialising in premium stretch tent rentals and event setups. We work with corporate clients, wedding venues, schools, event organisers and private clients throughout the Western Cape.

We're a busy, hands-on company with a friendly, hardworking team. As our business continues to grow, we're looking for an organised, enthusiastic and reliable Office Administrator to join our team.

About the Role

You'll work closely with our Office Manager, helping with the day-to-day administration, client communication, quotations and bookings that keep our business running smoothly.

This is a varied, fast-paced role where no two days are quite the same. We're looking for someone who takes initiative, enjoys working with people and can confidently manage multiple tasks while maintaining excellent attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Responding to client enquiries via email, telephone and WhatsApp.
• Preparing and sending quotations using our existing pricing structures and templates.
• Following up on outstanding quotations and client enquiries.
• Assisting with invoicing, payment tracking and basic accounts administration.
• Updating and maintaining client records and bookings.
• Managing general office correspondence and administrative tasks.
• Assisting with scheduling and coordinating event bookings.
• Supporting the Office Manager with daily tasks and priorities.
• Ensuring client enquiries and administrative tasks are followed through promptly.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years' experience in office administration, administrative assistance or a similar role.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confident using computers, email, Microsoft Excel and general office software.
• Good communication skills and a friendly, professional telephone manner.
• Ability to multitask and prioritise effectively in a busy environment.
• Comfortable working independently and taking initiative.
• Reliable, punctual and willing to learn.
• Experience with Xero, HubSpot or similar systems would be advantageous.
• Previous experience in the events, hospitality or rental industry would be beneficial but is not essential.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being organised, takes pride in getting things done properly and doesn't need constant supervision.

You should be comfortable dealing with clients, following up on outstanding tasks and keeping track of multiple jobs at different stages.

A positive attitude, common sense and a willingness to help are just as important to us as previous experience.

What We Offer

• R14,000 gross monthly salary.
• Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
• No regular weekend work.
• A supportive, friendly working environment.
• Training on our systems and processes.
• The opportunity to grow with an established and expanding Cape Town business.
• A varied role with plenty of responsibility.
