I don’t want to be “that guy” but dogs are stting outside the office and the owners are just leaving it there for me to clear up.

However, they clearly have noticed the CCTV that’s there. Is there anything I can do?

If none of the above suggestions work, you could always try approaching the owners and asking them to pick up - maybe even be proactive and buy a pack of plastic bags (cheapo nappy sacks is fine) to offer the walker of each dog? Just don't be the usual PH aggressor as that never works.

Failing that, contact your council to request a poo bin to be sited nearby. We did this a few years ago when a much used cut-through to some fields became Dog Turd Alley.
After some months of asking, the council installed a poo bin and the alleyway became reasonably squelch free almost over night. However, as with everything there are cost constraints and the bin is not the expensive part, it's the emptying and maintenance that will eat into their budget. So if you're not near a poo bin lorry route you probably won't have much luck.
There is flats above us, so the rain will not wash it away as it's covered (we're on the bottom floor). There is a poo box literally over the road, a bin and a salt box which also gets used. It's just people being lazy. As for people saying "through it at them" it happens at night and I don't spend the day looking out the window waiting to catch someone!
