Overview

We are working with a Surrey based Interior Design agency to help them find an Operations & Compliance Manager to help run their busy studio. This is an office based role that offers no hybrid working.

This is a broad role with a core focus of ensuring that the agency functions in a smooth way.

• Supplier and Vendor Management – negotiating deals, and managing the relationship with all suppliers and vendors to ensure the best possible deal for the agency.
• Team Management – day to day management and support of a small admin team.
• Essentially, you will be the go to person with regard to anything that is happening within the agency from an operational perspective.

• This is an exciting opportunity and requires an individual with a strong operational background within a creative agency environment.
• Someone who is quick and keen to learn, is enthusiastic, can multi-task and is a real people person, as well as a tough negotiator.

If you have the skills outlined above then we would be keen to hear from you.
