If you have a background in finance support, enjoy working with numbers and processes, and someone who likes taking ownership and making things happen, this could be the role for you.
We are looking for a proactive and organised Business Operations Team Leader to support the day-to-day operations of a key business function, working closely with the wider sales and business teams. This is a varied, hands-on position combining operational coordination, finance support, stakeholder engagement, and some team guidance (currently one direct report, with potential for future growth).
You will play an important role in keeping national sales operations running efficiently, helping coordinate workloads and priorities, supporting team performance and ensuring processes are followed effectively. You will also have the opportunity to identify ways of improving existing systems, workflows and reporting to make things work better for everyone.
Your finance support experience will be particularly valuable, with responsibilities including conducting credit checks, reviewing and analysing deals submitted by Account Managers, and liaising with customers and key finance stakeholders.
Your day-to-day will include:
- Coordinating workloads and priorities, supporting the team to meet SLA and KPI targets.
- Providing guidance and day-to-day support to a small team.
- Liaising with customers around invoicing, systems, and process-related enquiries.
- Reviewing existing processes and identifying opportunities to improve workflows, automation and reporting.
- Working alongside sales and wider business stakeholders to support smooth and efficient operations.
- Experience in operations, sales, or finance support, ideally with some exposure to guiding or supporting others. You may already be in a senior role and looking for an opportunity to take the next step.
- Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage competing demands.
- An analytical mindset and confidence working with numbers, reviewing information, and identifying discrepancies or opportunities for improvement.
- Great communication skills and the confidence to build relationships with customers and stakeholders at all levels.
- The ability to quickly pick up new systems, products, services and processes.
- A proactive, practical approach and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved.
If you are organised, commercially minded and enjoy being the person who keeps things moving, we'd love to hear from you!
