The role is deliberately broad. We want someone who develops a deep understanding of the business, sees what needs attention and takes responsibility for making things happen. Who Are We Looking For Your current job title matters less to us than how you think and how you work. You may currently be a Business Operations Manager, Operations Manager, Senior Office Manager, Executive Assistant, Practice Manager or working within another broad operational role. You are likely to: Take genuine ownership and accountability. Be exceptionally organised and dependable. Create order from complexity. Think ahead rather than simply react.

Manage competing priorities without losing attention to detail. Naturally look for better ways of doing things. Enjoy developing and supporting other people. Have the emotional intelligence to handle different personalities and situations. Take pride in completing things properly. Construction experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential. Character, judgement, professionalism, curiosity and potential matter more. Who Will Thrive Here Someone who enjoys responsibility, continual improvement and helping others succeed. Someone who sees a problem and starts thinking about the solution. Someone who can support people while still encouraging accountability. Someone who wants their ideas and contribution to genuinely matter. We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. Our philosophy is: We do not recruit people because they already know everything. We recruit people because they have the curiosity, humility and determination to continually become better than they were yesterday. What We Offer: £45,000 £55,000, depending on experience. Discretionary performance-related bonus. Company pension and free on-site parking. Direct involvement with the Managing Director and senior leadership team.
