Our client is seeking a highly organised and proactive Business Operations Administrator to support the smooth and efficient running of business operations. This is a varied and hands-on position providing administrative and operational support to senior management, production, and operational teams.
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing purchasing activities and monitoring goods received, ensuring that spend levels remain within agreed budgets. You will oversee the purchase order system, ensure appropriate authorisations are in place, and negotiate contracts and pricing with suppliers to achieve best value. Orders should be placed efficiently and strategically, grouping purchases where appropriate to support operational planning.
The role also involves matching invoices to purchase orders, checking pricing and delivery quantities, and maintaining accurate financial and operational records. You will use SAGE for financial processing and assist with budgeting and forecasting activities. Reconciliation of company Mastercard and Soldo accounts will also form part of your responsibilities.
Operational duties include organising transportation, booking hotels and travel arrangements for business needs, supporting inventory management, and liaising with management to assist with planning requirements.

Applicants should have previous experience in an operations, purchasing, or administrative role. Experience with SAGE is desirable. You should demonstrate strong organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and confidence when negotiating with suppliers. The ability to manage budgets, work accurately with financial data, and use Microsoft Office—particularly Excel—is essential.
