The Role

This is an office-based role providing hands-on coordination across day-to-day operations and partner recruitment processes, keeping information accurate, stakeholders supported, and business administration running smoothly. The role also acts as back-up Executive Assistant support when required.

Responsibilities

• Provide office management support – supplies, ordering, general office coordination, handling enquiries.

• Provide ad hoc Executive Assistant cover when required – scheduling, travel bookings, and administrative support.

• Support KYC administration and related process tasks.

• Issue and file confidential documentation via DocuSign; use Wordsmith to generate and send NDAs.

• Support invoicing and expenses in Dynamics 365 (including scheduling board support and timesheets).

• Maintain HubSpot hygiene (adding contacts, logging meetings and notes) as needed.

• Provide additional operational administration and procurement support as required.

• Coordinate partner recruitment activity, maintain candidate pipelines, and keep records up to date in Ashby (ATS).

• Schedule partner interviews and meetings, manage diaries, and support end-to-end partner recruitment coordination, preparing interview and meeting packs (background research, partner candidate summaries) and proactively chasing progress through stages.

• Support onboarding logistics for new partner starters (access, comms, and key recurring meetings).

• Review Payhawk expenses for completeness and accuracy (including tax treatment where required).

• Proactively identify process gaps across recruitment, onboarding, office operations, and core systems, helping to improve workflows, documentation, reporting, and stakeholder follow-up.

What You'll Bring

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail and comfort managing multiple priorities.

• Confident communicator with discretion when handling confidential information.

• Strong scheduling and stakeholder-management skills.

• Systems confident (ATS, Dynamics 365, Payhawk, DocuSign, HubSpot) and quick to learn new tools.

• Curious and looking to grow, adopting new technologies and ways of working.

• Willing to go beyond the immediate ask to ‘what's next’.

• Comfortable using AI tools, including Claude and ATS, to build business case testers and background prompts that help drive the interview process.
