About Neemar Search

Neemar Search is an Executive Search and Interim Management consultancy specialising exclusively in the social housing sector. Our purpose is simple: to connect outstanding leaders with organisations that make a difference to communities across the UK.

Following significant growth since our launch in 2023, we're now looking for an exceptional Business Support Manager to become the operational engine of our business.

This is a pivotal role, supporting the leadership team across finance, people, CRM, systems and business operations to ensure the business runs efficiently and continues to scale.

The Role

The Business Support Manager is responsible for the smooth day-to-day operation of Neemar Search. Working closely with the People and Operations Director and the leadership team, you'll own many of the processes that keep the business running, from payroll and finance through to employee onboarding, CRM management and operational reporting.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys variety, thrives on organisation and takes pride in making businesses operate more effectively.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Management

Take ownership of the financial administration of the business, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timely reporting.

Responsibilities include:

  • Processing weekly and monthly payroll, including commissions, bonuses, pensions and statutory payments.
  • Maintaining payroll records and ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements.
  • Raising client invoices and managing purchase invoices.
  • Monitoring aged debt and supporting credit control.
  • Reconciling bank accounts and financial transactions.
  • Preparing VAT information for submission.
  • Supporting monthly management accounts and year-end processes with external accountants.
  • Processing expenses and company credit cards.
  • Producing weekly finance reports and cashflow updates.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
