<p><strong>Hours:&nbsp;</strong>Monday&ndash;Thursday 08:30&ndash;17:30, Friday 08:30&ndash;16:00&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Contract:</strong>&nbsp;Full-time or Part Time permanent</p>

<p>If things are running behind, you&#39;ve already noticed. If an action hasn&#39;t been followed up, you&#39;re already chasing it. If the MD is stuck in admin he shouldn&#39;t be doing, you&#39;d have sorted it before he noticed.</p>

<h3>The role</h3>

<p>A growing manufacturer based in Redditch. We&#39;ve built the capacity now we&#39;re focused on making the&nbsp;business&nbsp;run with the discipline and follow-through that growth requires.</p>

<p>This role exists to make that happen. You&#39;ll work directly alongside the Managing Director, protecting his time, driving management accountability, and keeping the&nbsp;business&nbsp;organised and on track.</p>

<p>This is not a passive admin role. It&#39;s a&nbsp;business&nbsp;control role. The right person will have a low tolerance for loose ends.</p>

<h3>What will you be doing?</h3>

<p>You will reduce the CEO&#39;s day-to-day admin load and bring structure to how the&nbsp;business&nbsp;runs. Your work will span:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Managing the MD&#39;s diary, priorities, meeting schedule, and follow-up actions</li>
	<li>Running a weekly management action tracker across all departments &mdash; sales, ops, finance, warehouse, purchasing</li>
	<li>Preparing meeting packs, agendas, and action lists &mdash; and making sure actions are followed through</li>
	<li>Handling HR administration &mdash; onboarding, holiday and sickness records, employee files, policy documents</li>
	<li>Overseeing office routines, supplier admin, filing, and general office standards</li>
	<li>Coordinating information flow between departments and flagging issues before they become problems</li>
</ul>

<h3>What does success look like?</h3>

<p>In your first three months, you will take control of diary and meeting support, build a reliable weekly action tracker, document the core processes the&nbsp;business&nbsp;relies on, and free up meaningful CEO time that can go back into growing the&nbsp;business.</p>

<h3>Who are we looking for?</h3>

<p>You&#39;ve got solid experience in supporting senior management &nbsp;ideally in a manufacturing, logistics, distribution, or similarly fast-paced operational environment.</p>

<p>You don&#39;t need a degree. You need to be the kind of person who:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Is naturally organised and has high personal standards</li>
	<li>Is comfortable chasing senior people and holding them to account</li>
	<li>Spots what needs doing without being asked</li>
	<li>Stays calm when priorities shift and keeps everything moving</li>
	<li>Handles confidential information with maturity and discretion</li>
	<li>Brings order to chaos rather than waiting for order to arrive</li>
</ul>

<h3>What&#39;s in it for you?</h3>

<ul>
	<li>A varied role with real influence on how a growing&nbsp;business&nbsp;runs</li>
	<li>Close working relationship with senior leadership</li>
	<li>24/7 virtual GP access</li>
	<li>Long-term sickness cover and life assurance</li>
	<li>Annual leave including bank holidays</li>
	<li>A genuine company culture, including team and community initiatives</li>
	<li>Professional development through the company&#39;s &quot;Be World Class&quot; approach</li>
</ul>

<h2 data-sourcepos="8:1-8:21;256-276">Executive Summary</h2>

<p data-sourcepos="10:1-10:162;278-439">We&#39;re recruiting two recent graduates who want to build a career with a growing business &mdash; people looking for a company to progress with, not just a job to fill.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="12:1-12:276;441-716">This is a genuine entry-level start, and we&#39;re upfront about that: it&#39;s the first step on a structured path that can lead to sales and account management, operations, or marketing. We&#39;re far more interested in your ambition and how you think than in the job title on day one.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="14:1-14:545;718-1262">You&#39;ll join our order processing and customer service team, supplying the hospitality and retail sectors. You&#39;ll learn SAP (or equivalent ERP), track order accuracy, and coordinate with manufacturing and logistics to keep delivery performance on target &mdash; gaining a real, data-driven grounding in how a sales operation actually runs. It&#39;s detail-driven, accuracy-critical work: the kind where getting the small things right is what keeps customers happy and deliveries on track. If that&#39;s the kind of work you take pride in, you&#39;ll do well here.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="16:1-16:94;1264-1357">If you&#39;re a recent graduate ready to learn fast and grow with us, we&#39;d like to hear from you.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="20:1-20:258;1372-1629">In this role, you&#39;ll sit at the centre of the order-to-delivery process &mdash; supporting the sales administration team and gaining first-hand exposure to how data accuracy, system discipline, and cross-department coordination drive customer service performance.</p>

<h2 data-sourcepos="22:1-22:25;1631-1655">Key Responsibilities</h2>

<ul data-sourcepos="24:1-31:84;1657-2408">

	<li data-sourcepos="28:1-28:102;2055-2156">Handle day-to-day customer queries professionally, escalating complex issues to senior team members</li>
	<li data-sourcepos="29:1-29:70;2157-2226">Support reporting on order processing performance and delivery KPIs</li>
	<li data-sourcepos="30:1-30:98;2227-2324">Contribute ideas for process improvement as you build familiarity with the systems and workflow</li>
	<li data-sourcepos="31:1-31:84;2325-2408">Work closely with sales, operations, and customers as a key point of coordination</li>
</ul>
