  The Role  

The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, hands-on Business & Operations Lead to join our team. You’ll be working closely with the founders on everything from partnerships and product launches to internal ops and customer success.

This is a wide-ranging, high-impact role — ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, has great instincts, and enjoys making things happen.

Who You Are

  • You’ve got 2–3+ years of experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments (startups, scaleups, or relevant industry).
  • You’re a clear and confident communicator — both in writing and in person.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail – nothing slips through the cracks with you.
  • You’re a doer — great at taking a plan and turning it into action.
  • You’re proactive, solutions-focused, and comfortable handling ambiguity.
  • Confident working with senior stakeholders and execs – you’re great in the room.
  • You’re based in (or happy to travel to) Cardiff 2–3 days a week.

Bonus points if you also have:

  • Experience in insurance, banking, or property
  • Confidence with tools like Trello, GSuite, Figma, Slack
  • A good eye for decks and internal docs (Canva, Keynote, etc.)
  • Experience setting up internal processes and systems from scratch

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a role with loads of variety — no two weeks will look the same. You’ll be at the heart of the business, helping things run smoothly and pushing big projects forward.

  • Keep the internal rhythm of the company ticking — team meetings, OKRs, check-ins
  • Prepare materials for fundraising, partnerships, and internal updates
  • Build simple, scalable systems and processes to support our growth
  • Help manage key relationships with customers, partners, and stakeholders
  • Support our public presence — from social media to events and conferences
  • Jump into high-priority projects and help solve problems across the business
  • Keep our team aligned — improving communication, removing blockers, and keeping everyone moving forward
  • Organise and lead product demos
