Operations Coordinator (Future Operations Leader)

Bedford – office based but can offer flexible working arrangements

 £28,000 – £35,000

Our client is a fast‑scaling business preparing to move into a brand‑new, larger office in April, and they’re looking for a proactive, astute Operations Coordinator to join them at a pivotal moment. They’re committed to nurturing talent. As they scale, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise and progress quickly and we expect this role to evolve into an Ops Manager and then an Ops Director for the right person.

They’re also open to funding relevant professional qualifications.

Over the next 12 months, their operations function will evolve, and they need someone who can take ownership, improve processes, and ultimately help build an entire department from the ground up.

This is not a role for someone who simply waits for instructions, this is a role for someone intelligent, curious, autonomous, and excited by the idea of shaping how a business operates.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be central to the smooth running of their commercial and financial processes, including:

• Raising finance documents
• Preparing payout packs for deals
• Raising invoices
• Loading deals onto CRM and lender portals
• Compliance checks, including customer ID verification
• Future involvement in onboarding new starters
• Keeping accounting software up to date + light reconciliation work

• Administrative support to directors
• Organising trade shows
• Office manager duties as they move into their new HQ in April

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who is:

• Experienced in operational, administrative or coordination roles
• Confident working with numbers, processes, and systems
• Able to hit the ground running and pick up new software quickly
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• A self‑starter — proactive, independent, and great at problem‑solving
• Excited by career progression and building structure in a scaling business

Nice to have:
Experience in accounting, finance operations, HR, or payroll systems.
