Brighton / Eastbourne (Hybrid) Full-Time | Permanent
We're working with an exciting and growing business to recruit a Business Operations Associate for a unique opportunity across a diverse portfolio spanning property investment, asset management, insurance and energy infrastructure.
This isn't a traditional operations role, and it isn't an IT position either, however there is a technical feel to this position.
We're looking for someone who enjoys making things work better. Someone who's naturally curious, organised and commercially minded, and who can combine technology, AI and automation with practical day-to-day business support.
You'll be involved in everything from improving internal systems and building automations, through to project coordination, reporting, stakeholder management and site visits. It's a broad role with plenty of variety and exposure to senior decision-making.
The business is increasingly investing in AI, automation and data-driven processes, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to be at the forefront of how modern businesses operate.
The Role:
-
Identifying opportunities to improve processes through AI and automation
-
Building, testing and maintaining automated workflows and business tools
-
Supporting databases, dashboards, reporting and system integrations
-
Creating clear processes and documentation to improve operational efficiency
-
Coordinating projects from research and requirements gathering through to delivery
-
Maintaining property and asset records and monitoring operational performance
-
Preparing reports, presentations and management information
-
Liaising with contractors, suppliers, managing agents and other stakeholders
-
Conducting occasional site visits across the portfolio
-
Providing wider business and administrative support as priorities evolve
About You:
-
Experience using AI and automation tools to improve business processes
-
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
-
Confidence working with spreadsheets, systems and structured data
-
A proactive approach to solving problems and improving ways of working
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
-
The ability to manage their workload independently in a remote or hybrid environment
-
A willingness to learn and take ownership of projects
Experience within property, energy or infrastructure would be helpful but is not essential.
Likewise, experience with tools such as Power Automate, Make, n8n, APIs, databases, Python, JavaScript or SQL would be advantageous, but practical capability and a genuine interest in technology and process improvement are likely to be more important than a specific technical background.
What's on Offer?
This is an opportunity to work directly with senior leadership in a growing and entrepreneurial business where you'll gain exposure to multiple sectors, projects and technologies.
You'll have the chance to make a genuine impact, help shape how the business operates and develop valuable experience across AI, automation, operations, property and energy infrastructure.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine technology, problem-solving and business operations in a fast-moving environment, we'd love to hear from you.
