Project and Office Co-ordinator

Hours: Full-time (Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.30pm).

Salary: £24k, plus pension and wellbeing pot.

Job description

Are you interested in working for the UK’s first and largest award-writing agency, helping some of the world’s biggest brands and organisations to enter and win industry awards?

This particular role will help to ensure the smooth running of our projects and client accounts by supporting Boost’s awards consultants (the majority of whom work remotely) and the Project Co-ordination team. With that in mind, being responsive, thorough, and a good team-player are essential qualities. This is an exciting and fast-paced sector, and we often work to strict deadlines, so the right candidate will be reliable and able to keep calm under pressure.

Duties include:

• Helping to manage client accounts and awards plans, including monitoring deadlines and key dates.
• Submitting award entries on our clients’ behalf. (This is a critical task, so attention to detail and great organisational skills are a must!)
• Liaising with awards organisers to gather all-important information about award rules, deadlines, judges, etc.
• Sourcing key data and information to help inform clients’ awards strategies – e.g. sourcing judges’ feedback, logging win rates, researching previous winners, etc.
• Updating internal databases (e.g. booking award categories, updating results).
• Generating and chasing key project documentation and maintaining our filing system.
• General ad hoc tasks (e.g. supporting with marketing or office admin) to help the smooth running of the business.
• Managing applications for the Awards Trust Mark (co-founded by Boost), including fielding enquiries, reviewing applications, issuing invoices, and record-keeping.

Experience and skills

We don’t expect you to necessarily have experience of the awards industry, and full on-the-job training will be provided. We do, however, require you to have previously worked in an administrative capacity, with:

• Previous project co-ordination and/or administration experience.
• Previous experience of working to tight deadlines.
• Previous roles that required working from home, or experience of working with remote workers.

Skills and abilities

• Highly organised.
• Meticulous eye for detail.
• Proactive and happy to use initiative.
• Methodical approach to working.
• Excellent time management.
• Highly motivated and self-disciplined.

Location

Currently this role requires you to largely work from home, with an expectation to work from a shared Bournemouth office once a week alongside colleagues.

Salary

Salary: £24k. Pension after three months with employer contributions (currently 3% of basic salary). After 6 months you will also receive a £100 p/month budget to spend on personal wellbeing (e.g. private medical insurance, gym membership, physio, etc).
