About the Role
We're looking for a Business Operations Associate to help keep Obelisk running smoothly as we grow. This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys the "behind the scenes" work that makes a business tick - clean data, clear processes, and nothing left waiting to be chased.
Experience in a legal, professional services, or compliance environment would be an excellent fit, such as a senior paralegal, legal operations professional, or operations administrator. This role reports to the CFO.
Responsibilities include:
Workflow consistency and data quality
Writing and maintaining our operational process library as workflows are built and refined
Running a weekly rhythm of checks e.g. data quality, supplier renewals, compliance flags, job records/timesheets
Tracking recurring data issues and surfacing patterns
Compliance and supplier administration
Building and maintaining a register of key operational and systems suppliers
Tracking statutory / operational compliance requirements
Maintaining the insurance policy schedule and renewal calendar
Systems administration
Acting as first point of contact for routine operational system queries, from Microsoft 365 to our own proprietary system
Process improvement - spotting opportunities to simplify processes or remove inefficiencies
What we're looking for:
Experience managing multiple workstreams simultaneously i.e. project management or business analysis
Systems-confident and curious - you are genuinely interested in how systems connect and where data flows break
AI-aware and open to learning
Able to work at pace and independently, confident managing multiple workstreams
Familiarity with ALSP structures or in-house legal team operations would be useful
What can we offer you?
Competitive salary and pension; 28 days’ holiday, two extra ‘personal’ days off as well as your birthday; private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection and critical illness cover.
We welcome applications from returners and career-break professionals. Obelisk was built on the principle that great professionals who've stepped back should be welcomed back. If this role fits your background and your life, we'd love to hear from you.
For this role, it is essential that you have the right to work in the UK. We are a remote first organisation with the team all meeting in London every two months.
