Operations Administrator (Maternity Cover) - London, Hybrid | £26,120
The Role
We’re looking for a proactive and tech-savvy Operations Administrator to join Winlight Recruitment on a fixed-term maternity cover basis, commencing 1 June 2026 for approximately 9 months. The end date is subject to the return of the substantive postholder and may end earlier or be extended accordingly.
This is a genuinely exciting time to join us - we are actively embedding AI into how we operate, and this role offers a real opportunity for someone with a passion for technology to grow alongside that journey, picking up hands-on experience that goes well beyond a traditional operations role.
This is a broad, hands-on role at the heart of the business - supporting every department, touching every system, and keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly. You’ll report directly to the CEO and work independently on a wide range of tasks, from systems administration and IT support to digital marketing and office coordination.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Managing and maintaining our Monday.com workspaces and automations - the operational backbone of the business
* Monitoring IT support tickets and escalating or assisting alongside our external IT team where required
* Supporting AI tool adoption and technology implementation across the business
* Coordinating new starter and leaver logistics - system access, IT equipment and practical onboarding support
* Designing bespoke graphics in Canva for key dates, milestones and campaigns
* Reviewing, adjusting and publishing social media content across LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook
* Managing vendor relationships, office supplies, travel bookings and team events
* Preparing weekly, monthly and quarterly operational reports
* General office coordination - post, merchandise, minor troubleshooting and ad hoc support
What We’re Looking For
Essential
* Experience in an operations, administration or similar cross-functional role
* Technologically confident and a fast learner - Monday.com experience is a plus but not essential
* A genuine interest in AI and emerging technology - someone who uses AI in their day-to-day life and is curious about how it can be applied at work
* Proficient in Microsoft 365 - Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, PowerPoint and Word
* Highly organised, an excellent communicator and comfortable working independently
* Patient, approachable and happy in a support-facing, training-style capacity
* Discreet and professional - you’ll have access to confidential operational data
* Able to commute into London
Desirable
* Experience with Canva or similar design tools
* Exposure to machine learning or broader technical skills
* Background in tech support, systems training or a similar role
Why Join Us?
* Comprehensive handover and onboarding - you’ll be set up for success from day one
* A supportive, friendly team with regular social events
* You’ll be at the centre of our AI journey - not just using the tools, but actively helping to shape how we adopt and embed them across the business
* A genuinely varied role where no two days are the same
* You'll receive hands-on training across our full technology stack - from Monday.com to AI tools - giving you real, transferable experience that will genuinely add to your skillset
