Save job

Fixed Term Contract. Full time. Start now until November 2026. Are you looking for a role that combines your people management and previous Executive Assistant experience? Do you enjoy working in a collaborative environment whilst taking on a role that has an overview of all administrative functions and are the "go to" for the Executive Assistants if they need your advice?

Exciting Career Opportunity: Business Support Manager

Be at the heart of operations, adapt and tailor your people management skills, nurture a positive workplace culture and have fun - their culture is entirely unique and full of laughter, both in and out of the workplace.


Why This Role?

  • Lead with Impact: Play a key role in shaping operational excellence by overseeing business support functions and leading a dedicated team of 4.
  • Adaptability and Agility : Be comfortable working in the "grey". Act as a sounding board to the Executive Assistants and "jump" in when needed. Did we mention "agile"?
  • Drive Success: Contribute directly to organisational success by picking up where the current Business Support Manager leaves off and manage special projects as they come about. Get involved in regular 1:1's with your team.

    Your Responsibilities:
  • Oversee and optimise all administrative functions to ensure efficiency across the two offices.
  • Lead, motivate, and manage a team of four, through clear expectations and regular feedback.
  • Support health and safety strategies, championing well-being initiatives across the business.
  • Participate in recruitment processes to ensure the right people are placed in the right positions as required.
  • Coordinate company events as required.
  • Provide high-level administrative support and assist the leadership team with presentations and documentation.
  • Manage travel policies and fleet operations, liaising with suppliers and implementing best practices.

    What You Bring:
  • Solid people management, office management and previous Executive Assistant experience.
  • Proven experience managing people with a focus on mentoring and professional development.
  • Advanced computer literacy, particularly in Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Exceptional communication skills and organisational prowess.
  • Experience in event or project coordination, with a knack for balancing cost efficiencies against objectives.
  • (Desirable) A tertiary qualification in Business Administration or exposure to the construction sector.

    What Sets Us Apart:

    This organisation is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where every individual feels valued. They prioritise sustainability and staff well-being, offer a substantial handover transition period and have fun - in and outside the workplace.
