We are Story Engineers.
At Sysco, we design and deliver experiences that move people. We work at the intersection of storytelling and technology, transforming museums, exhibitions, stadiums and cultural spaces into unforgettable journeys.
We design, deliver and install experiences that not only leave lasting impressions for audiences but also give our clients outstanding value, smooth delivery, and the confidence that their creative vision will be fully realised.
Twenty years ago, we began with analogue storytelling in theatre and live performance. Today, we deliver cutting-edge digital technology across a range of creative environments, from immersive installations to large-scale placemaking, combining storytelling magic with engineering excellence.
The role
The Business Support Coordinator plays a pivotal role in keeping Sysco's projects - and the wider business - running smoothly. Slotting into the Business Support team, this role demands a wide skill-set and the ability to juggle multiple priorities with confidence.
At its core, this position provides coordination and organisational support wherever it's needed. As part of Business Support, this could be anything from booking travel to coordinating the Christmas get-together. Our Project Management teams rely upon the Business Support Coordinator to grease the wheels of their projects and keep things moving seamlessly. No two days are the same.
This role also supports the pricing and procurement function. Sysco constantly works with our suppliers to pull together budgets and then purchase the needed equipment. This role supports our Procurement Manager and the whole Engineering team by getting up to date, accurate pricing as quickly as possible whilst maintaining excellent relationships with our partners.
It's a busy role with plenty of plot twists and curveballs. Ad hoc requests and unusual asks always find their way to the Business Support team. So, if you love variety, can spin multiple plates simultaneously and enjoy being the go-to person who keeps things moving, this role is for you.

Pricing and Procurement Support
* Work with the Engineering team to review and validate technical specifications.
* Brief suppliers clearly and accurately to ensure the right requirements are understood.
* Build strong supplier relationships, ensuring timely and competitive pricing.
* Compile, enter, and maintain accurate pricing data - often under tight deadlines.
* Audit pricing and data for accuracy, proactively spotting omissions or errors.
* Support the Procurement Manager during peak times and provide cover during absences.
Business Support
* Coordinate schedules, equipment, and vehicles to support project and service delivery.
* Process purchase orders quickly and accurately, ensuring timely distribution.
* Maintain and take ownership of sales documentation and databases.

What you'll bring:

* Proactivity with the initiative to step in, take responsibility, and learn by doing.
* Strong, broad IT skills.
* Personable, presentable and professional demeanor.
* We'd like to see an interest (or at least, curiosity) in technology, but it's not essential.
