Subject Procurement Coordinator

Help our faculty and academic teams run smoothly by providing accurate, responsive administrative support across London Business School’s Subject Areas.

The Subject Areas are seven small teams within the Research and Faculty Office, supporting academic colleagues across the School. As Subject Area Administrator, you’ll help these teams deliver an efficient, helpful service to faculty and colleagues.

A key part of the role is processing invoices, faculty expenses and supplier requests, alongside procurement administration. You’ll also maintain accurate records, support budget tracking and reporting, respond to routine queries, and help coordinate practical arrangements for projects. You’ll work with colleagues across the School and contribute ideas to make processes clearer and more efficient.

• Support procurement administration and respond to routine accounts and purchasing queries.
• Enter and maintain financial information in School systems, ensuring records are accurate and up to date.

• Share updates on processes and guidance with Subject Area colleagues.
• Look for practical ways to improve administrative processes and support consistent ways of working across the teams.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the Research and Faculty Office and the wider School.

You’ll bring:

• Strong attention to detail and a careful approach to handling records and data.
• Good organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to meet deadlines.
• Confidence using standard IT tools and learning new systems and databases.

• The ability to follow procedures and apply guidance consistently.
• A proactive, collaborative attitude and an interest in finding better ways of working.

Experience in administration, invoice or expense processing, procurement support or a customer-facing role would be useful. A finance or accounting qualification is not required; we’re looking for strong administrative skills, accuracy and a willingness to learn.
