Operations Associate

Join Plinth as an Operations Associate in London, managing recruitment, contracting, and security operations. Strong organisational skills and adaptability are key!

• You're the organiser. The one who books the group holiday, runs the spreadsheet and gets everyone to actually pay. That instinct is most of this job
• You'll have a go at unfamiliar work. We'll hand you a contract, a security review, or a process nobody has written down. You won't be on your own with it, but we need someone whose instinct is to attempt it, ask a colleague to check it, and be better at it next time, rather than wait to be shown
• You've probably done this shape of job. EA, team assistant, ops coordinator, office manager, practice manager. Somewhere you were the reliable centre of a lot of moving parts
• Nothing gets quietly dropped. Interviews, invoices, an ISO review and a half-finished questionnaire, all live at once, none of them missing
• You write clearly and fast. To candidates, to customers' IT teams, to a lawyer. Warm, plain, no waffle
• Discretion. You'll be close to salary data, contracts and personal information from day one
• You use AI properly. You've used Claude or similar beyond chatting: drafting, summarising, first passes at questionnaires, small workflows you built yourself. If you've touched Claude Code or automation tools, say so. It's how a small ops team keeps up with a company doubling every six months
• Exposure to ISO 27001, SOC 2 or Cyber Essentials, from any angle
• Experience with recruitment
• Experience with contracts, procurement or finance admin
• Charity, funder or local government background
