An international financial services organisation based in the City of London is looking for an experienced Admin Manager to join its small and supportive administration team.
The successful candidate must have previous experience managing a small team, ideally with at least two years' experience managing and developing staff. This role would suit an experienced administrator, office manager or team leader who enjoys being hands-on as well as managing others. Experience within financial services or another regulated environment would be highly advantageous.
This is a varied role with a broad remit; you will take ownership of the day-to-day administration function, managing priorities and coordinating the workload of the team, while also getting involved in the delivery of the work yourself.
As the Admin Manager, you will manage, mentor and allocate work across a small team, ensuring a consistent and high-quality service. You will also be hands-on with a broad range of administrative activities, including senior management support, vendor and supplier management, invoice and expense approval, events, internal processes and documentation.
The role also has an important governance and controls element. You will ensure administrative activities comply with internal policies and procedures, oversee vendor engagement and approvals, monitor spend and budgets, prepare management information for senior management, and identify and address operational risks or control gaps. You will work closely with stakeholders across the London office and international colleagues, and will have the autonomy to resolve day-to-day operational issues and prioritise competing demands.
The successful candidate will have:
- Previous experience managing and developing a small team
- Experience in administration, office management or a similar corporate environment
- Experience balancing people management with hands-on administration
- Strong organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills
- Experience with vendors, invoices, expenses and/or budgets
- Ideally, experience within financial services or another regulated environment
- Good knowledge of Microsoft Office and a strong attention to detail
- A proactive, flexible and hands-on approach
The salary on offer is up to £55,000 per annum, dependent on experience. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a small team environment, wants genuine ownership of a broad administration function and is equally comfortable leading the team and getting stuck into the detail themselves.
