About the Company
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, specialist consultancy operating at the heart of the UK's most complex and high-profile infrastructure projects. Founded in 2020, the business works across major national programmes including large-scale transport, energy and utilities projects, helping organisations reduce risk, improve delivery and keep critical programmes on track. Despite being a relatively young company, the team brings decades of experience and has quickly established itself as a trusted partner within the industry.
The Opportunity
You'll work directly alongside the Chief of Staff, acting as her right-hand support across the business. This is a high-trust, high-impact role sitting at the centre of operations, finance and HR. You'll play a key part in ensuring the business runs smoothly day-to-day, while supporting continued growth.
What You'll Be Doing
This is a broad, varied role covering:
Finance
* Managing timesheet discipline across the business
* Processing expenses and supporting invoice management

What They're Looking For
This role would suit someone who is:
* Highly organised and detail-oriented
* Proactive and able to take initiative without direction
* Comfortable working in a fully remote, independent environment
* A strong communicator with excellent written English
* Confident across finance, admin and operational tasks
This is ideally suited to someone experienced who is looking for a slightly lighter, flexible role (for example, a working parent), rather than someone at the very start of their career.
Skills & Experience
* Strong working knowledge of accounts / financial tracking / forecasting
* Experience using Xero (or similar accounting software)
* Good Microsoft Office skills (Excel particularly useful)
* Experience with tools such as ProjectWorks or CMap is advantageous

* £35,000 – £40,000 salary
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays + 2 wellbeing days
* Private health and life insurance
Why This Role?
This is a unique opportunity to join a high-performing, low-ego team where you'll gain exposure across all areas of the business and work closely with senior leadership.
It's ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety and ownership, and wants to be part of a company doing meaningful work behind some of the UK's most important infrastructure projects.
