Business Operations Coordinator
For a client based in York, an exciting newly created role is open for a Business Operations Coordinator.
This isn’t a role for passive employees—this is for a doer. Someone with initiative, who takes ownership, and drives results without constant supervision. You’ll be the glue connecting operational activities, juggling administrative tasks, coordinating projects across teams, and building trusted relationships across the organisation.
You’ll work closely with the Head of Operations and the wider business, supporting the team so they can focus on growth and strategy.
What We're Looking For
We’re hiring someone who excels in proactive autonomy and structured efficiency. Consider this an invitation to:
- Anticipate needs – Adopt a mind-reading approach to the Head of Operations’ workflow.
- Take the lead – Identify tasks and act without waiting for direction.
- Improvise & innovate – Convert chaos into order, craft processes from scratch, and keep things on track.
- Complete quickly, efficiently – Own tasks from start to finish, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
