Administration Executive Brough, North West England, England
Job description
About us
bramarpla is a small yet internationally active business based near Brough, Hull. We are fast-paced, autonomous and social and work mostly remotely with 1-2 days in the office per week. Please only apply if you are able to commute to the office which is in a small village away from public transport links.
Our work environment includes:
- Casual work attire
- Flexible working hours
- 60-80% work-from-home
- Safe work environment
- Growth opportunities
This is an exciting opportunity to enter a small company at a pivotal point and make a noticeable difference. Working directly with and under the direction of the two directors, the successful candidate will have control over the administrative activities of two growing brands. Fast-paced and creative from end to end, no two weeks will be identical and you’ll be challenged and encouraged in equal measure.
The ideal candidate for this position is someone who won’t crack under pressure, has excellent written English, exemplary organisation skills and is able to work alone with confidence. Our work environment is not traditional and we value positive energy, big thinking and efficiency in all our work.
The two brands that you will be working across cover very different industries with different customer groups and processes. One is very business-oriented and the other is very public-focussed. Both must be given daily attention in terms of administration to allow the directors to build on the foundations they have put in place. Your role will involve internal administration and external customer service tasks so confidence and tact are both required here.
Working from home on a roughly 80:20 ratio, it is vital that the candidate is self-disciplined with a good internet connection to be able to keep up with the work involved.
