Job Description

🚀 Join an ambitious, growing recruitment business

n

n

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

n

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.

n

n

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

n

n

This is not a traditional administration role.

n

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.

n

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.

n

n

What will you own?

n

A broad mix of people, HR and business operations, including:

n

• Employee onboarding and offboarding

n

• Contracts, offer letters and HR documentation

n

• HR systems, employee records, holidays and benefits

n

• Internal recruitment and employee queries

n

• Office operations, facilities and equipment

n

• Supplier relationships and contract renewals

n

• Company vehicles, insurance and utilities

n

• Business travel, accommodation and company events

n

• IT equipment and new starter set-up

n

• Operational procedures, projects and continuous improvement

n

• Helping us build scalable processes as FMCGExec continues to grow

n

Most importantly, we want someone who takes ownership.

n

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.

n

n

You might currently be a:

n

• Business Operations Manager

n

• Office Manager

n

• Business Support Manager

n

• Practice Manager

n

• Executive Assistant with significant operational responsibility

n

• Operations Coordinator ready for your next step

n

We’re probably a great fit if you:

n

✨ Thrive in a fast-paced SME environment

n

✨ Love organising people, systems and processes

n

✨ Are naturally proactive

n

✨ Can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

n

✨ Communicate confidently with people at every level

n

✨ Are comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility

n

✨ Want to help build a business, rather than simply complete a list of administrative tasks

n

n

What does success look like?

n

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.

n

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.

n

n

Salary: £30,000–£38,000 depending on experience.

n

n

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