Job description

Operations Executive

Hammersmith (4 days in office, 1 day at home)

Up to £30,000 + Travel Allowance + Bonus

We’re excited to be partnering again with Podkováň Brewery, which has been brewing traditional Czech lager in the heart of Bohemia for over 600 years.

We’re looking for a bright, adaptable and commercially curious Business & Operations Coordinator to join the team and play a key role in supporting the continued growth of the business.

This is a varied, hands-on role working closely with the Managing Director and wider team. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, learning quickly, taking ownership and understanding how a business works.

The Role:

You’ll play a key part in keeping the business running smoothly, with responsibilities across:

• Managing Director support – diary management, meetings, reports, presentations and day-to-day coordination.
• Business & office administration – maintaining records, product information, systems and general commercial administration.
• Import, logistics & supply chain – coordinating shipments, deliveries and collections; liaising with warehouses, transport providers, breweries and customs brokers; tracking deliveries and handling relevant documentation.
• Commercial & sales support – preparing quotations and presentations, processing orders, supporting customers and maintaining our CRM and website.
• Events & trade support – helping coordinate exhibitions, trade shows, beer festivals and occasional pub activations.
• Finance administration – customer and supplier account reconciliation, invoicing support and working with external accountants.
• Research & projects – researching suppliers, competitors, products and markets, improving processes and systems, and supporting new business initiatives.

About You:

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Organised and detail-focused, with excellent follow-through
• Proactive and resourceful, with a practical and solutions-focused approach
• Quick to learn, curious and commercially aware
• Confident and professional with customers, suppliers and colleagues
• Calm under pressure and able to manage competing priorities
• Adaptable and positive, with a willingness to get stuck in

Experience:

• Attitude and aptitude matter more to us than years of experience. You don’t need to have done everything listed above. If you’re intelligent, organised, enthusiastic, adaptable and keen to learn, we’ll provide the training and support you need to grow into the role.
• If you’re looking for a varied position where you can make a real contribution, learn how a business operates and take on increasing responsibility as the company grows, we’d love to hear from you.
