Business Coordinator to MD
Wolverhampton, WV6
£30,000 – £34,000 depending on experience
Full-Time | Permanent | Office-based
We're looking for someone who doesn't just organise work but makes sure it gets done.
The Role
International Insignia is an established UK merchandise and garment branding business supplying universities, museums, heritage organisations, visitor attractions, and retailers.
We're looking for an exceptional Business Coordinator to work directly with our Managing Director. This isn't a traditional PA role focused on diaries and travel. You'll become a central point of coordination across customers, suppliers, purchasing, projects, and internal teams.
Our MD is entrepreneurial and ideas-driven. Your role is to bring structure around that, prioritising, following things through, solving problems, and progressively taking responsibility for routine matters that currently reach the MD.
One part of your day could involve an overseas supplier, another preparing a customer costing, another tracking an incoming order, and another coordinating a project across the business.
What You'll Be Doing
- Help manage and prioritise the MD's inbox, actions, and workload.
- Identify what's urgent, what can wait, and what can be dealt with independently.
- Draft and respond to emails where appropriate.
- Keep track of decisions, actions, and outstanding matters.
- Prepare customer quotations using established costing methods.
- Research previous orders, prices, and products.
- Communicate with UK and international suppliers.
- Request and chase prices, production information, and delivery dates.
- Raise and track purchase orders through to delivery.
- Keep Sales and Operations updated on incoming stock and changing dates.
- Turn discussions and ideas into clear actions, owners, and deadlines.
- Maintain projects and actions using Monday.com.
- Follow up with colleagues and suppliers to ensure actions are completed.
- Identify problems, blockers, and loose ends before they become bigger issues.
- Help document processes and business knowledge.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or improve how we work.
- Support the introduction of new order, stock, and business systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
You're someone who naturally likes getting things finished. If you're given responsibility for something, people shouldn't need to keep asking whether it's been done. You track it, chase where necessary, resolve what you can, and close the loop.
You work with pace and understand commercial urgency. You can look at ten things that need doing and recognise that two matter far more than the other eight.
You learn quickly, look for answers, and apply what you've learned rather than automatically asking someone else.
You're proactive, dependable, and comfortable making sensible decisions within agreed boundaries.
You'll also be comfortable working in an entrepreneurial SME where priorities can change, and not every answer is already written in a procedure.
You can bring structure to an environment rather than needing the environment to already be structured for you.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in business support, executive support, project coordination, purchasing, operations, account management, commercial administration, or a similar role.
- Excellent organisation and prioritisation skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Confidence dealing with customers and suppliers.
- Good numerical ability and confidence with pricing/costings.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Outlook and Excel.
- Strong digital skills and ability to learn new software quickly.
- High attention to detail and personal responsibility.
- Comfortable using initiative and solving problems independently.
- Experience with purchasing, stock/inventory, manufacturing, ecommerce, ERP/CRM systems, Monday.com, international suppliers, or AI tools would be useful but isn't essential.
- Industry experience isn't required. We're more interested in how quickly you can learn.
