Job description

Join an ambitious, growing recruitment business

We’re hiring - and this is a really important one for us.

FMCGExec has grown significantly over recent years. We’re now a £1m+ turnover recruitment business with an ambitious team, exciting plans for the future and a clear strategy for continued growth. And with growth comes a need for great operational structure.

We’re looking for a Business Operations Manager to take genuine ownership of the day-to-day operational running of FMCGExec.

This is not a traditional administration role.

We want someone who sees a problem and solves it. Someone who creates order, improves processes, keeps things moving and enjoys being the person people can rely on to make things happen.

You’ll work closely with our Operations Director and Managing Director, taking responsibility for much of the day-to-day operational activity across the business and helping free our leadership team to focus on growth, performance and developing our people.

What will you own?

• Employee onboarding and offboarding
• Contracts, offer letters and HR documentation
• HR systems, employee records, holidays and benefits
• Internal recruitment and employee queries
• Office operations, facilities and equipment
• Supplier relationships and contract renewals
• Company vehicles, insurance and utilities
• Business travel, accommodation and company events
• IT equipment and new starter set-up
• Operational procedures, projects and continuous improvement
• Helping us build scalable processes as FMCGExec continues to grow

Most importantly, we want someone who takes ownership.

Someone who doesn’t wait to be told every next step and who enjoys finding a better, smarter or more efficient way of doing things.

You might currently be a:

• Business Operations Manager
• Office Manager
• Business Support Manager
• Practice Manager
• Executive Assistant with significant operational responsibility
• Operations Coordinator ready for your next step

We’re probably a great fit if you:

• Thrive in a fast-paced SME environment
• Love organising people, systems and processes
• Are naturally proactive
• Can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail
• Communicate confidently with people at every level
• Are comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility
• Want to help build a business, rather than simply complete a list of administrative tasks

What does success look like?

Within your first 6-12 months, we’d expect you to have become the go-to person for operational and people-related matters across FMCGExec, taken ownership of our everyday business operations and introduced improvements that genuinely make us more efficient.

This is a chance to join us at an exciting stage of our journey and have a real influence on how FMCGExec operates as we scale.

Salary:

£30,000-£38,000 depending on experience.

Interested? We’d love to hear from people who want to come in, take ownership and make this role their own.
