Looking for a role where organisation, attention to detail and problem-solving are genuinely valued?
Edmund & Evans is working exclusively with a boutique executive search firm that has built an outstanding reputation within the global insurance and reinsurance market. As the business continues to grow, they're looking to hire an Operations Coordinator to support their executive search team and play a key role in the smooth delivery of high-profile assignments.
Whether you're a graduate looking to start your career or someone with experience in administration, operations, recruitment support, or project coordination, this is an opportunity to join a professional, close-knit business where you'll receive genuine responsibility from day one.
The Business

With continued growth and new client wins, they're now looking for a highly organised individual to join the business for a September 2026 start.
