Manage the details that keep logistics running smoothly
Being the SOPs Administrator means you’ll be the one keeping the standards behind Global Logistics relevant, up to date, repeatable & scalable at an important time of transformation. Supporting the development and maintenance of SOPs, your job will be to ensure the documents are written/mapped, formatted, version-controlled, approved and published correctly and within a document control log. Coordinating review cycles with operational teams and subject matter experts will also be under your purview, as you work to keep track of changes, actions and approvals to make sure everyone is working with the right information. Everything you do will help create safer ways of working and document the best-in-class standards.
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.
And that’s not all you’ll do. From maintaining document registers and audit trails to responding to queries and helping communicate updated procedures, you’ll make information easy for people to find and use. You’ll also work under the Standards & Procedures Manager, as you keep documentation aligned with Health & Safety, Business Improvement, compliance and governance requirements.
Bring structure to critical operations
You’re someone who naturally has the ability to quickly identify & document clear best-in-class processes, spot the small details and take pride in getting things right – whether that’s keeping records accurate, tracking document versions and approvals or making documentation/mapping remain consistent. Having previously worked in a detailed administrative or documentation role in an operational, process-led or compliance-focused environment, you are very comfortable, if not quite proficient, in the standard office systems, a specialist in MS Visio and document management tools. You’re naturally organised and reliable, which also makes you comfortable managing routine tasks with senior stakeholders and juggling multiple deadlines.
An excellent communicator, you’re someone who enjoys working with people. You’re able to handle queries professionally, whether you’re speaking to operations teams or subject matter experts. Experience with SOPs, policies, document control or quality systems would come in handy, as would some exposure to logistics, warehouse or service delivery environments. A thorough understanding of Health & Safety will be a welcome bonus.
Discover the support you need to grow your career further
Working with us you’ll help keep people, information, and assets safe around the world. It’s a role you can feel proud of; and we aim to make every part of your career just as rewarding. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, good holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do and all you need.
