Systems & Process Coordination You won't be expected to write every Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), but you will help ensure our systems remain organised and up to date by: • Monitoring progress of department managers as they create and update their own SOPs. • Following up on outstanding documentation. • Maintaining a central SOP library. • Ensuring documents are filed correctly and remain current. • Identifying gaps and ensuring ownership is assigned. Communication Work closely with: • The CEO • Property Management Team • Finance • Architects • Planning Consultants • Contractors • Solicitors • Investors • Virtual Assistants • External suppliers to ensure projects continue moving efficiently.
