WE Talent is proud to be recruiting on behalf of an exciting, fast-growing organisation within the sustainability, circular economy, and ethical technology sectors.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, highly organised, and commercially aware Business Support professional to join a dynamic leadership team in a varied and influential role.
Reporting directly to the CEO and COO, this position is central to the smooth day-to-day running of the organisation, combining executive support, business operations, project coordination, strategic planning, and event management.
The Role
As Business Support Manager, you will be the operational “go-to” person across the business, ensuring senior leaders are supported, projects are delivered, and business functions operate efficiently.
You will provide strategic and operational support to the CEO and COO, coordinate Senior Leadership Team and Executive Board meetings, manage organisational planning and business calendars, and lead internal and external events including conferences, awards, networking, and company celebrations. You will also support cross-functional projects and annual business planning, oversee office management and administrative functions, manage supplier relationships, budgets, and procurement, prepare presentations, reports, proposals, and stakeholder communications, drive process improvements and operational efficiencies, and act as a key liaison across internal teams and external partners.
About You
You will be highly organised with exceptional attention to detail and have previous experience in business support, operations, project coordination, or executive support. You will be commercially minded with strong business awareness, confident working closely with senior stakeholders, proactive, energetic, and solutions-focused. You should be comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment and be a strong communicator with excellent written and verbal skills.
Essential Requirements
Previous experience in a similar business support, operational, or project-focused role is essential, along with advanced Microsoft Office and business systems proficiency, strong organisational and planning capabilities, excellent stakeholder management skills, and a full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle.
Desirable Experience
PRINCE2 or project management qualifications would be advantageous, alongside budget management experience, supplier negotiation skills, and graphic design or presentation creation experience.
Why Apply?
This is an exceptional opportunity to join an innovative, values-led business committed to sustainability, ethical excellence, and positive social impact.
You’ll be joining a collaborative organisation that values fun, responsibility, energy, support, and honesty.
Ideal Backgrounds
This role would suit candidates from backgrounds such as Senior Executive Assistant, Business Operations Coordinator, Office Manager, Project Coordinator, Chief of Staff Support, or Commercial Business Support.
If you are looking for a flexible part-time opportunity where you can genuinely influence business success while working closely with senior leadership, this role could be an excellent fit.
