Working Pattern: Office-based

Abbeygate Search is working confidentially with a growing business in Watford that is looking to appoint a confident and proactive Office Administrator / Operations Administrator.

This is a broad and varied role, suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership rather than simply being given a fixed list of tasks. The business is continuing to grow and develop its internal processes, so they are looking for someone who can bring structure, organisation and confidence to the day-to-day running of the office.

This is not a purely transactional administration role. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working independently, improving ways of working, supporting different teams and helping to implement new processes as the business continues to evolve.

• Helping to create, improve and implement administrative processes

• Acting as a key point of contact across internal teams and external contacts

• Maintaining accurate records, documentation and filing systems

• Coordinating meetings, diaries and general office requirements

• Supporting operational administration across different areas of the business

• Preparing reports, trackers and basic documentation for management

• Assisting with supplier, customer and internal administration

• Supporting onboarding and general employee administration

• Taking ownership of ad hoc projects and process improvements

• Providing wider administrative support where required

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in an office administration, operations administration, business support, office coordination or similar role

• Confidence working independently and taking ownership of tasks

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail

• Clear communication skills and confidence dealing with people at different levels

• A proactive, hands-on and positive approach

• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office

• Experience helping to create, improve or implement processes would be highly beneficial

• Comfortable working in a growing business where responsibilities may evolve

• Someone who enjoys variety and is willing to get involved beyond a narrow job description

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants a genuinely varied role in a growing business, where they can make a visible impact.

The role would suit someone who is organised, confident and capable of working independently, with the maturity to help bring structure to a developing environment.
